MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM, MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSIS METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18533059 titled 'MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM, MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSIS METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a medical image diagnosis system that reduces the burden on doctors when diagnosing a large number of medical images, such as during health checkups. The system includes a processor and memory to determine the presence of abnormalities in medical images and whether the images are normal.

  • Medical image diagnosis system:
   * Includes at least one processor and memory.
   * Performs first determination of abnormality presence.
   * Performs second determination of image normalcy if no abnormality is present.

Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in various medical settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and health screening facilities, to assist healthcare professionals in efficiently diagnosing a large volume of medical images.

Problems Solved: - Reduces the burden on doctors when diagnosing a large number of medical images. - Helps streamline the image diagnosis process and improve efficiency in healthcare settings.

Benefits: - Increases the speed and accuracy of medical image diagnosis. - Allows doctors to focus on more critical tasks rather than spending excessive time on image analysis.

Potential Commercial Applications: "Efficient Medical Image Diagnosis System for Healthcare Facilities"

Possible Prior Art: There are existing medical image analysis systems that assist doctors in interpreting and diagnosing medical images, but this specific system's approach to determining abnormalities and image normalcy may be unique.

Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the system handle cases where abnormalities are present but the image is still considered normal? 2. Are there any limitations to the types of abnormalities that the system can accurately detect and diagnose?


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a medical image diagnosis system, a medical image diagnosis method, and a program which reduce a burden on a doctor in a case of performing image diagnosis on a large number of medical images, such as a health checkup. The problem is solved by a medical image diagnosis system including at least one processor, and at least one memory that stores a command to be executed by the at least one processor, in which the at least one processor performs first determination of determining presence or absence of an abnormality from a medical image obtained by imaging a subject, and performs second determination of determining whether or not the medical image is normal in a case in which it is determined that the abnormality is absent in the first determination.
