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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351230 titled 'MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a medical image processing apparatus and method for automatically measuring the time-related examination state of time-series medical images.

  • The apparatus includes a processor that performs various processing steps.
  • The first step is medical image acquisition processing, where time-series medical images are sequentially acquired.
  • The next step is examination state recognition processing, where the processor recognizes the examination state based on the acquired medical images.
  • The processor then performs time measurement processing related to the recognized examination state.
  • Time measurement control processing is also performed, where the behavior of the time measurement is controlled based on the recognition result of the examination state.
  • Finally, report processing is carried out to provide information on the state of the time measurement to the user through a report unit.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a medical image processing apparatus, a medical image processing method, and a medical image processing program by which it is possible to automatically perform time measurement related to an examination state of time-series medical images. In a medical image processing apparatus including a processor, the processor is configured to perform: medical image acquisition processing for sequentially acquiring time-series medical images; examination state recognition processing for recognizing an examination state on the basis of the sequentially acquired medical images; time measurement processing for performing time measurement related to the examination state; time measurement control processing for controlling a behavior of the time measurement in accordance with a recognition result of the examination state; and report processing for causing a report unit to report information on a state of the time measurement to a user.
