CONTRAST STATE DETERMINATION DEVICE, CONTRAST STATE DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18587960 titled 'CONTRAST STATE DETERMINATION DEVICE, CONTRAST STATE DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device, method, and program for determining the contrast state of an image, even when certain organs are not visible. It involves acquiring multiple two-dimensional images of a subject from different positions, estimating an index value related to the contrast state from each image, and determining the contrast state based on these index values.

  • Uses multiple images to determine contrast state accurately
  • Can handle cases where certain organs are not visible in the image
  • Provides a robust and quick method for contrast state determination

Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are a contrast state determination device, a contrast state determination method, and a program that quickly, accurately, and robustly determine a contrast state even in a case where there is an organ that is not included in an image. A plurality of two-dimensional images including information of slice images of a subject at different positions are acquired from a first image series captured before or after a contrast agent is injected into the subject, an index value related to a contrast state is estimated from each of the plurality of two-dimensional images, and the contrast state of the first image series is determined on the basis of each of a plurality of the index values.
