INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240119726 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that can plot capturing times of lesion images on a time axis for comparison during endoscopic examinations.

  • First acquisition unit acquires capturing time of lesion image saved by user during endoscope examination.
  • Second acquisition unit acquires capturing time of lesion image detected by detection processing during endoscope examination.
  • Display control unit displays first and second capturing times on a time axis for comparison.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in the field of medical imaging for endoscopic examinations to improve lesion detection and tracking.

Problems Solved

1. Improved visualization of lesion images during endoscopic examinations. 2. Enhanced comparison of lesion images captured at different times.

Benefits

1. Better monitoring of lesion development over time. 2. Increased accuracy in lesion detection and tracking during endoscopic procedures.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing medical imaging systems for endoscopic examinations with advanced lesion tracking capabilities.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing technologies related to medical imaging systems that track lesion development over time, but specific prior art related to this exact method may not be readily available.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact patient outcomes during endoscopic examinations?

This technology can potentially lead to earlier detection of lesions and more accurate tracking of lesion development, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

What are the potential limitations of using this technology in real-world clinical settings?

Some limitations may include the need for training healthcare professionals on how to interpret the plotted capturing times effectively and the integration of this technology into existing medical imaging systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing device includes: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a capturing time of a lesion image instructed to be saved by a user, from a series of images captured by an endoscope during examination with the endoscope; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a capturing time of a lesion image detected by detection processing for the series of images captured by the endoscope during the examination; and a display control unit configured to cause a display device to display a first capturing time and a second capturing time which are plotted on a time axis, the first capturing time being the capturing time acquired by the first acquisition unit, the second capturing time being the capturing time acquired by the second acquisition unit.
