IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18472270 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing device that can generate a side viewpoint image of an organ based on a set cut section in a three-dimensional image.

  • Processor configured to receive setting of a cut section with respect to an organ shown by a three-dimensional image
  • Outputs a first display image generated by rendering based on the three-dimensional image, showing the organ
  • Generates a side viewpoint image with a viewpoint at which the set cut section is viewed from a direction intersecting a normal line of the cut section

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in medical imaging for better visualization of organs and structures within the body. It could also have applications in virtual reality simulations for educational purposes.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately visualizing and understanding the internal structures of organs in a three-dimensional space. It provides a more detailed and comprehensive view for analysis and diagnosis.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in medical imaging, enhanced educational tools for students and professionals, and potentially faster and more accurate diagnoses of medical conditions.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology could include selling the image processing device to medical facilities, educational institutions, and research organizations. It could also be integrated into existing medical imaging systems for enhanced functionality.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing image processing software used in medical imaging that allows for the manipulation and visualization of three-dimensional images of organs and structures. However, the specific feature of generating a side viewpoint image based on a set cut section may be a novel aspect of this technology.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing methods of generating side viewpoint images in medical imaging?

This article does not provide a direct comparison to existing methods of generating side viewpoint images in medical imaging. It would be helpful to know the advantages and disadvantages of this technology compared to traditional methods.

What are the limitations of this technology in terms of the size and complexity of organs that can be accurately visualized?

The article does not address the potential limitations of this technology in visualizing larger or more complex organs. Understanding these limitations would be important for determining the scope of applicability of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device includes a processor, in which the processor is configured to receive a setting of a cut section with respect to an organ shown by a three-dimensional image, and output, as a first display image that is generated by rendering based on the three-dimensional image and shows the organ, a side viewpoint image having a side viewpoint at which the set cut section is viewed from a direction intersecting a normal line of the cut section, set as a viewpoint of the rendering.
