MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, MEDICAL INFORMATION GENERATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18473398 titled 'MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, MEDICAL INFORMATION GENERATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a medical image processing apparatus that obtains examination data, processes image information, and generates new examination data with added attendant information.
- The medical image processing apparatus is communicably connected to an imaging apparatus.
- The apparatus obtains first examination data with image information and attendant information.
- It processes the image information and generates second examination data with processing result information and added attendant information.
- The image information and processing result information are associated by common attendant information.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in medical imaging systems to enhance the analysis and interpretation of medical images, leading to more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
Problems Solved
This technology helps streamline the process of analyzing medical images by automatically processing and associating relevant information, reducing the potential for human error and improving efficiency.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in diagnosing medical conditions - Enhanced workflow efficiency in medical imaging departments - Better communication of examination data between healthcare professionals
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Medical Image Processing Efficiency and Accuracy in Healthcare"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of image processing software in medical imaging systems to analyze and interpret medical images. However, the specific method of associating image information and processing result information through attendant information may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus handle different types of medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans?
The patent application does not specify how the apparatus processes and associates information from various types of medical images.
What security measures are in place to protect patient data within the apparatus?
The patent application does not address the security protocols implemented to safeguard patient information during the image processing and data generation process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A medical image processing apparatus communicably connected to an imaging apparatus obtains first examination data including image information about a medical image obtained by imaging by the imaging apparatus and first attendant information added to the image information, performs processing of the image information included in the first examination data, and generates second examination data including processing result information obtained by the processing and second attendant information that includes at least part of the first attendant information and is added to the processing result information. The image information and the processing result information are associated by at least part of the first attendant information commonly included in the first attendant information and the second attendant information.
