ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18525167 titled 'ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The endoscopic examination support apparatus described in the abstract is a system that helps in detecting lesions in endoscopic videos by generating heat maps and displaying the position of the lesion on the video frame.
- Image acquisition means acquires endoscopic videos captured by an endoscope.
- Lesion detection means identifies lesion candidates in the endoscopic video.
- Heat map generation means creates a heat map indicating the possibility of a lesion in the video.
- Display control means shows the position of the lesion on the video frame based on the lesion candidate and heat map.
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in medical settings for more accurate and efficient detection of lesions during endoscopic examinations.
Problems Solved
1. Improved detection of lesions in endoscopic videos. 2. Enhanced visualization of lesion candidates for medical professionals.
Benefits
1. Early detection of lesions can lead to timely treatment. 2. Increased accuracy in identifying potential abnormalities in endoscopic videos.
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhancing medical diagnostic tools with advanced lesion detection capabilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of computer-aided detection systems in medical imaging for lesion detection.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between different types of lesions?
The abstract does not specify how the system distinguishes between various types of lesions in endoscopic videos.
What is the accuracy rate of lesion detection using this system?
The abstract does not provide information on the accuracy rate of lesion detection achieved by this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
In the endoscopic examination support apparatus, the image acquisition means acquires an endoscopic video captured by an endoscope. The lesion detection means detects a lesion candidate from the endoscopic video. The heat map generation means generates a heat map indicating a possibility of lesion of the lesion candidate in the endoscopic video by a color. The display control means displays a position of a lesion on a frame of the endoscopic video based on the lesion candidate and the heat map.
