INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18613201 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that helps in making judgments about difficult medical images for radiological interpretation.
- The determination unit assesses whether a medical image is challenging to interpret.
- The search unit looks for similar, reliable medical images when a difficult image is identified.
- The display control unit shows the similar medical image on a display for reference.
Potential Applications: - Medical imaging analysis software - Radiology decision support systems
Problems Solved: - Assisting radiologists in interpreting challenging medical images - Improving accuracy and reliability of radiological interpretations
Benefits: - Enhances diagnostic accuracy - Saves time for radiologists - Increases confidence in medical image interpretations
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Medical Image Interpretation Software This technology can be used in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research institutions to improve radiological interpretations and streamline the diagnostic process.
Questions about Medical Image Interpretation: 1. How does this technology impact the efficiency of radiological interpretations? - This technology improves efficiency by providing reference images for challenging cases, reducing the time needed for interpretation. 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in clinical settings? - The use of this technology can lead to more accurate diagnoses and better patient outcomes in clinical practice.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes: a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a medical image is an image that is difficult to make a judgement about regarding a radiological interpretation item; a search unit configured to search for a similar medical image that is similar to the medical image and whose radiological interpretation item has a high degree of reliability, when the medical image is determined as an image that is difficult to make a judgement about; and a display control unit configured to display the similar medical image on a display unit.
