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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240112395 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing device that can generate a side viewpoint image of an organ based on a three-dimensional image and a set cut section.

  • The processor of the device receives a setting of a cut section with respect to an organ shown by a three-dimensional image.
  • The device outputs a first display image that shows the organ from a side viewpoint at which the set cut section is viewed from a direction intersecting a normal line of the cut section.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in medical imaging for surgical planning, virtual reality simulations, and educational purposes.

Problems Solved

This technology allows for a better understanding of the spatial relationships within an organ by providing a side viewpoint image based on a set cut section.

Benefits

The device provides a more comprehensive visualization of organs, aiding in medical diagnoses and treatment planning.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be utilized by medical imaging companies, healthcare institutions, and educational institutions for various applications in the medical field.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar image processing devices used in medical imaging and virtual reality applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle complex organ structures or irregular shapes in the three-dimensional image?

The abstract does not provide information on how the device processes complex organ structures or irregular shapes in the three-dimensional image.

What is the processing time required to generate the side viewpoint image?

The abstract does not mention the processing time needed to generate the side viewpoint image of the organ.


Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing device includes a processor, in which the processor is configured to receive a setting of a cut section with respect to an organ shown by a three-dimensional image, and output, as a first display image that is generated by rendering based on the three-dimensional image and shows the organ, a side viewpoint image having a side viewpoint at which the set cut section is viewed from a direction intersecting a normal line of the cut section, set as a viewpoint of the rendering.
