INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466832 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The information processing apparatus described in the patent application is designed to analyze medical images containing multiple lesion regions, classify the degree of interest of specific lesion regions, identify similar lesion regions, and display them in a unique manner on a display.
- Acquire medical images with lesion regions
- Classify degree of interest of lesion regions
- Identify similar lesion regions with low interest
- Display highlighted lesion regions uniquely on a display
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in medical imaging software for more efficient and accurate diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, where identifying and comparing lesion regions is crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in prioritizing lesion regions for further examination, reducing the risk of missing important findings in medical images.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in identifying and analyzing lesion regions - Enhanced efficiency in medical image interpretation - Potential for earlier detection of diseases
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing medical imaging software for radiology departments Developing specialized tools for oncologists and other medical professionals for lesion analysis
Possible Prior Art
Similar technologies may exist in the field of medical imaging software, but the specific method of classifying and displaying lesion regions based on degree of interest may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the workflow of healthcare professionals using medical imaging software?
This technology could potentially streamline the process of lesion analysis and improve the accuracy of diagnosis, but the specific impact on workflow efficiency and patient outcomes would need to be studied further.
What are the potential limitations or challenges in implementing this technology in real-world medical settings?
Challenges may include integrating this technology with existing medical imaging systems, ensuring compatibility with different types of medical images, and training healthcare professionals on how to effectively use the software for lesion analysis.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a medical image including a plurality of lesion regions; classify a high or low degree of interest of at least one first lesion region among the plurality of lesion regions; specify at least one second lesion region similar to the first lesion region among the plurality of lesion regions in a case where the degree of interest is low; and make a display method of the first lesion region and the second lesion region classified as having a low degree of interest different from a display method of other lesion regions in a case where the plurality of lesion regions are highlighted and the medical image is displayed on a display.
