MEDICAL DEVICE, TABLE DRIVING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324525 titled 'MEDICAL DEVICE, TABLE DRIVING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a medical device that includes a table and a processor. The processor performs various operations to ensure accurate positioning of the imaging location of a subject on the table.

  • The device corrects the table height positional offset by driving the table based on an offset, ensuring the imaging location is at the prescribed table height position.
  • The processor determines the center of gravity of the imaging location in the height direction based on a medical image of the subject.
  • It calculates the positional deviation of table height by comparing the prescribed position with the center of gravity.
  • The positional deviation is stored for further analysis and adjustments.
  • The processor obtains a representative value that represents the characteristics of the positional deviation distribution.
  • It determines the statistical reliability of the representative value.
  • If the representative value is statistically reliable, the offset is updated based on this value.


Original Abstract Submitted

A medical device is described. The medical device includes a table and a processor. The processor executes operations including, driving the table based on an offset for correcting the table height positional offset to position the imaging location of a subject at a prescribed table height position, determining a center of gravity of the imaging location of the subject in the height direction of the table based on the medical image of the imaging location of the subject, calculating a difference between the prescribed position and the center of gravity as positional deviation of table height, and storing the positional deviation. The processor further executes operations including obtaining a representative value representing characteristics of the positional deviation distribution, determining whether the representative value of the positional deviation is statistically reliable, and updating the offset based on the representative value if the representative value is determined to be statistically reliable.
