INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303810 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can acquire and compare medical images of an examinee based on reference positions obtained from optical images.
- The processor acquires a first medical image of the examinee based on a physical feature in a first optical image.
- It then acquires a second medical image of the examinee associated with the same or a similar reference position as the first image.
- The apparatus outputs the association result based on the reference positions.
Potential Applications: - Medical imaging analysis - Diagnostic imaging comparison - Patient monitoring and tracking
Problems Solved: - Efficient comparison of medical images - Accurate association of images based on reference positions
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in medical image analysis - Streamlined diagnostic processes - Enhanced patient care through precise image comparison
Commercial Applications: - Healthcare industry for medical imaging systems - Research institutions for image analysis software - Hospitals and clinics for diagnostic purposes
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine the reference positions for image comparison? 2. What are the potential limitations of using optical images for acquiring medical images?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on improving image processing algorithms for medical imaging applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information processing apparatus including at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a first medical image of an examinee associated with a first reference position specified based on a physical feature of the examinee included in a first optical image obtained by optically imaging the examinee; acquire a second medical image of the examinee associated with the first reference position or a second reference position indicating a position substantially the same as the first reference position; and output a result of associating the first medical image with the second medical image based on the first reference position and the second reference position.
