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.
