MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105143 titled 'MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a medical image processing apparatus that can detect a region of interest in a medical image and display report information indicating the detection of the region of interest.
- The processor acquires a medical image of an observation target.
- The processor detects a region of interest in the medical image.
- The display shows the medical image and report information indicating the detection of the region of interest.
- The display is divided into a first region displaying the medical image and a second region divided into four sections, with the report information displayed in one of the sections based on the detected location of the region of interest.
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in medical imaging systems to assist healthcare professionals in identifying and analyzing specific areas of interest in medical images.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in improving the efficiency and accuracy of medical image analysis by automatically detecting and highlighting regions of interest in the images.
Benefits
- Enhanced visualization of critical areas in medical images - Streamlined workflow for healthcare professionals - Improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Medical Image Analysis Technology for Healthcare Professionals"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of image processing algorithms in medical imaging systems to assist in the detection and analysis of specific regions of interest in medical images.
Unanswered Questions

Original Abstract Submitted
a medical image processing apparatus includes the following. a processor is configured to: acquire a medical image obtained by capturing an image of an observation target; detect a region of interest from the medical image; and cause a display to display report information and the medical image, the report information reporting that the region of interest has been detected. a screen displayed on the display has a first region in which the medical image is displayed, and a second region provided outside the first region. the second region is divided into four regions by using line segments passing through a center of the first region, and a detected location of the region of interest is reported by displaying the report information in one of the four regions.
