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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18525701 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a processor that can extract a tubular tissue region from a medical image, identify a lesion region in the periphery of the tubular tissue region, and correct the extraction result of the tubular tissue region based on the positional information of the lesion region.

  • The processor is configured to extract a tubular tissue region from a medical image.
  • It can identify a lesion region in the periphery of the tubular tissue region.
  • The processor corrects the extraction result of the tubular tissue region based on the positional information of the lesion region.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in medical imaging for more accurate detection and analysis of tubular tissue regions and lesions.

Problems Solved

1. Improved accuracy in identifying and analyzing tubular tissue regions and lesions in medical images. 2. Enhanced efficiency in processing medical images for diagnostic purposes.

Benefits

1. Increased precision in identifying and analyzing tubular tissue regions and lesions. 2. Streamlined workflow for medical professionals in interpreting medical images. 3. Potential for earlier detection and treatment of abnormalities in tubular tissues.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhanced medical imaging software for hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing technologies or methods for analyzing tubular tissue regions and lesions in medical images, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions
