MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM, AND OPERATION METHOD OF MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537762 titled 'MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM, AND OPERATION METHOD OF MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a medical image processing device that sets a boundary line in an endoscopic image to distinguish between regions of interest and regions of disinterest. It then generates a boundary line display image where the boundary line is displayed on the still image, and controls the display of a video image of the endoscopic image along with the boundary line display image on a display device. The boundary line is updated for each setting.

  • Medical image processing device for setting boundary lines in endoscopic images
  • Generates boundary line display images with updated boundary lines
  • Controls display of video image and boundary line display image on a display device

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various medical imaging applications such as endoscopy, surgery, and diagnostics.

Problems Solved

1. Accurately distinguishing between regions of interest and disinterest in medical images 2. Enhancing visualization and understanding of endoscopic images

Benefits

1. Improved accuracy in medical image analysis 2. Enhanced visualization for medical professionals 3. Streamlined workflow in medical imaging procedures

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing endoscopic procedures, improving surgical outcomes, enhancing diagnostic capabilities in healthcare settings.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of boundary lines in medical imaging software to segment regions of interest in images.

What are the technical specifications of the medical image processing device described in the patent application?

The technical specifications of the medical image processing device, such as the resolution of the images processed, the speed of boundary line generation, and the compatibility with different endoscopic imaging systems, are not provided in the abstract.

How does the boundary line setting process work in the medical image processing device?

The abstract mentions that the boundary line is updated for each setting, but it does not detail the specific algorithm or methodology used to set the boundary line in the endoscopic images.


Original Abstract Submitted

A medical image processing device sets a boundary line, which indicates a boundary between a region of interest and a region of disinterest in a subject, in a still image of an endoscopic image, generates a boundary line display image in which the boundary line is displayed on the still image, and performs a control of displaying a video image of the endoscopic image and the boundary line display image on a display device. The boundary line to be displayed on the boundary line display image is displayed by being updated for each setting of the boundary line.
