==METHOD FOR PROCESSING MEDICAL IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457062 titled 'METHOD FOR PROCESSING MEDICAL IMAGE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an image processing method for identifying tumors in organ regions by extracting organ and tumor candidate regions from image data, generating non-organ regions, and removing tumor candidate regions at the outer edge of non-organ regions.

* Extracting organ and tumor candidate regions from image data
* Generating non-organ regions where the organ is not present
* Removing tumor candidate regions at the outer edge of non-organ regions

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in medical imaging for early detection of tumors in organs, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in accurately identifying tumor candidate regions within organ regions, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis and improving patient outcomes.

== Benefits ==
- Early detection of tumors
- Improved accuracy in identifying tumor candidate regions
- Enhanced diagnostic capabilities

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Medical Imaging Software for Tumor Detection in Organs"

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art in the field of medical imaging software for tumor detection in organs may include similar methods for segmenting organ regions and identifying tumor candidate regions within them.

=== What are the limitations of the image processing method described in the abstract? ===

The abstract does not mention any potential limitations of the image processing method, such as computational complexity or sensitivity to image quality.

=== How does this technology compare to existing methods for tumor detection in organs? ===

The abstract does not provide a comparison of this technology to existing methods for tumor detection in organs, making it unclear how it stands out in terms of accuracy, efficiency, or other performance metrics.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image processing method is executed by a computer and the method includes: extracting an organ region representing an organ and a tumor candidate region having a feature for identifying a tumor in the organ from image data obtained by capturing an image of the organ; generating a non-organ region representing a region where the organ is not present using the image data; and removing, from the extracted tumor candidate region, a tumor candidate region being present only at an outer edge portion of the non-organ region in the organ region.
