INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18470457 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that calibrates and corrects bone information obtained through imaging objects under different conditions.

  • The first obtaining unit captures data from imaging a first object with known bone information using radiation irradiation based on a specific imaging condition.
  • The calibration data of the bone information is obtained by the first obtaining unit.
  • The correction unit uses the calibration data to correct bone information of a second object when the imaging conditions of the first and second objects meet certain criteria.
  • The correction is applied to data obtained by imaging the second object using radiation irradiation based on a different imaging condition.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in medical imaging devices to improve the accuracy of bone information obtained from different imaging conditions.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes: a first obtaining unit configured to, using data obtained by imaging a first object with known bone information via radiation irradiation based on a first imaging condition, obtain calibration data of the bone information; and a correction unit configured to, using the calibration data, correct bone information of a second object different from the first object in a case where a comparison result of the first imaging condition and a second imaging condition satisfies a predetermined condition, the bone information being obtained using data obtained by imaging the second object via radiation irradiation based on the second imaging condition.
