ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18545010 titled 'ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION SUPPORT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The endoscopic examination support apparatus described in the abstract includes various means for detecting, setting flags, determining risks, and generating display images related to lesion candidates found in endoscopic images of a luminal organ.
- Lesion candidate detection means: Detects lesion candidates from endoscopic images.
- Flag setting means: Sets a flag based on the position in the interior of the luminal organ where the endoscopic image with the lesion candidate is acquired.
- Risk determination means: Determines the risk of the lesion candidate based on its size and the flag.
- Display image generation means: Generates a display image with information on the position of the lesion candidate, the flagged position in the organ's interior, and the risk level.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in the medical field for more accurate and efficient detection of lesions in luminal organs during endoscopic examinations.
Problems Solved
1. Improved detection of lesion candidates in endoscopic images. 2. Enhanced risk assessment of detected lesions.
Benefits
1. Increased accuracy in identifying potential lesions. 2. Better visualization of lesion candidates and their associated risks.
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhanced endoscopic examination support systems for medical facilities.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional endoscopic examination systems that do not have the advanced features of detecting, flagging, and assessing risks of lesion candidates as described in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to existing endoscopic examination support systems?
This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing technologies in the market.
What are the specific parameters used to determine the risk of a lesion candidate?
The article mentions the size of the lesion candidate and the flag, but it does not detail the specific parameters or algorithms used in the risk determination process.
Original Abstract Submitted
In the endoscopic examination support apparatus, the lesion candidate detection means detects a lesion candidate from an endoscopic image acquired by imaging an interior of a luminal organ. The flag setting means sets a flag according to a position in the interior of the luminal organ at which the endoscopic image including the lesion candidate is acquired. The risk determination means determines a risk of the lesion candidate based on at least a size of the lesion candidate and the flag. The display image generation means generates a display image including information relating to a position of the lesion candidate in the endoscopic image, information relating to a position in the interior of the luminal organ corresponding to the flag, and information relating to the risk of the lesion candidate.
