INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240108300 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can acquire a three-dimensional shape of a subject, calculate the movement amount of a radiation source based on the difference between a reference posture and an estimated posture of the subject, and control the radiation source accordingly.
- The processor acquires a three-dimensional shape of the subject.
- The processor calculates the movement amount of the radiation source based on the difference between the reference posture and the estimated posture of the subject.
- The processor controls the radiation source to move according to the calculated movement amount.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in medical imaging systems to improve the accuracy and efficiency of capturing radiation images of patients.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of inaccuracies in radiation imaging caused by variations in patient posture.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased accuracy in radiation imaging, reduced radiation exposure for patients, and improved overall efficiency in medical imaging processes.
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 to adjust imaging equipment during medical procedures.
What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?

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.
