INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17979248 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that is used in medical imaging to detect lesions. The apparatus includes two main components: an operating state obtaining unit and an information presentation unit.
- The operating state obtaining unit collects information about the operating state of the lesion detection processing. This information represents how well the detection processing is functioning.
- The information presentation unit is responsible for presenting information related to the operating state. If the detection processing cannot be executed, the unit presents information that explains the reason behind this inability.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical imaging: The information processing apparatus can be used in various medical imaging systems to detect lesions in different parts of the body.
- Diagnosis and treatment: By accurately detecting lesions, medical professionals can make more informed diagnoses and develop appropriate treatment plans.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inability to execute detection processing: The apparatus identifies situations where the detection processing cannot be performed and provides information about the reason behind it. This helps in troubleshooting and resolving any issues that may arise during the detection process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy: By providing information about the operating state, the apparatus ensures that the detection processing is executed accurately, leading to more reliable results.
- Efficient troubleshooting: The information presentation unit helps in quickly identifying and addressing any issues that may prevent the detection processing from being executed, saving time and resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus comprises: an operating state obtaining unit configured to obtain information representing an operating state of detection processing by a lesion detection unit configured to detect a lesion from medical image data; and an information presentation unit configured to, in a case where the information representing the operating state is information representing a state in which the detection processing cannot be executed, present information corresponding to a reason why the detection processing cannot be executed.
