| 20090034809 | Abnormal tissue pattern detection apparatus, method and program - In order to accurately detect an abnormal tissue pattern from a medical image, the following are performed: a candidate detection section receives the image and detects abnormal tissue pattern candidates from the image; a false positive candidate elimination section eliminates false positive candidates from the detected abnormal tissue pattern candidates; a proximity characteristic amount calculation section calculates the ratio of the number of the false positive candidates to the number of the abnormal tissue pattern candidates included in a predetermined region surrounding each of remaining abnormal tissue pattern candidates, remaining after the elimination process, as a proximity characteristic amount; and a determination section determines whether or not each of the remaining abnormal tissue pattern candidates is a false positive candidate based on the proximity characteristic amount. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090034810 | Abnormal tissue pattern detection apparatus, method and program - An abnormal tissue pattern detection apparatus capable of accurately detecting abnormal tissue pattern candidates by mutually compensating for the disadvantage of the processing using a morphology filter and the disadvantage of the processing using a Laplacian filter. When an image is inputted, a first candidate detection section detects first abnormal tissue pattern candidates by performing filtering using a morphology filter. At the same time, a second candidate detection section detects second abnormal tissue pattern candidates by performing filtering using a Laplacian filter. A determination section detects a second abnormal tissue pattern candidate, with which a first abnormal tissue pattern candidate overlaps, as a final abnormal tissue pattern candidate. | 02-05-2009 |
