INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18475225 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The information processing apparatus described in the patent application is designed to analyze the three-dimensional shape of a subject and adjust the movement of a radiation source accordingly when capturing a radiation image of the subject.
- The processor acquires the three-dimensional shape of the subject.
- It calculates the movement amount of the radiation source based on the difference between a predetermined reference posture and an estimated posture of the subject.
- The radiation source is then controlled to move according to the calculated movement amount.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in medical imaging systems such as X-ray machines or CT scanners to ensure accurate and precise radiation exposure during imaging procedures.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of potential inaccuracies in radiation exposure during imaging procedures, which could lead to suboptimal image quality or unnecessary radiation exposure for the subject.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, reduced radiation exposure for the subject, and increased efficiency in capturing radiation images.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of advanced medical imaging systems for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing systems that use motion tracking or image processing to adjust radiation exposure during imaging procedures.
What are the safety implications of using this technology in medical imaging?
Using this technology in medical imaging can help reduce the risk of overexposure to radiation for patients, leading to safer imaging procedures overall.
How does this technology compare to traditional methods of adjusting radiation exposure during imaging procedures?
This technology offers a more precise and automated approach to adjusting radiation exposure based on the subject's posture, potentially leading to more accurate and consistent results compared to manual adjustments.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a three-dimensional shape of a subject; derive a movement amount of a radiation source that irradiates the subject with radiation based on a difference between a predetermined reference posture and an estimated posture estimated based on the three-dimensional shape for a posture of the subject in a case of capturing a radiation image of the subject; and control the radiation source to move according to the movement amount.
