20150173684 | LESION DETERMINATION APPARATUS, SIMILAR CASE SEARCHING APPARATUS, LESION DETERMINATION METHOD, SIMILAR CASE SEARCHING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A lesion determination apparatus includes: a number-of-images acquiring unit configured to acquire and record, on occurrence of a direction change that is either a first state in which a second operation instruction is received immediately after receipt of a first operation instruction or a second state in which the first operation instruction is received immediately after a receipt of the second operation instruction, a number of one-directionally viewed images that is either a number of tomography images continuously viewed in response to continuous first operation instructions including the first operation instruction in the first state or a number of tomography images continuously viewed in response to continuous second operation instructions including the second operation instruction in the second state; and a locality determining unit configured to determine whether the object part is a focal lesion or a diffuse lesion based on a change in the number of one-directionally viewed images. | 06-25-2015 |
20150310172 | SIMILAR CASE RETRIEVAL APPARATUS, SIMILAR CASE RETRIEVAL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, SIMILAR CASE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM, AND CASE DATABASE - A similar case retrieval apparatus includes: a lesion portion acquirer that acquires partial images including lesion portion images, an image feature extractor that extracts image features of each of the plurality of partial images; a location information acquirer that acquires location information of each of the partial images; a lateral position determiner that determines the right organ or the left organ in which each of the lesion portions exists based on the location information; a unilateral distribution identifier that determines whether or not a distribution of the lesion portions is a unilateral distribution; and a similar case retriever that retrieves case data from a case database including both case data for the unilateral distribution in the right organ and case data for the unilateral distribution in the left organ when the unilateral distribution identifier identifies that the distribution of the lesion portions is the unilateral distribution. | 10-29-2015 |
20150317434 | CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION TERMINAL AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A medical image managed by a medical information management system is displayed in a layout region that is displayed on a display of an information terminal, and thumbnail images of similar cases received from a case retrieval system are displayed in a case display region. In the layout region, a display box displaying a thumbnail image of a diagnosis object case and display boxes displaying thumbnail images selected from the thumbnail images displayed in the case display region are displayed adjacent to one another. | 11-05-2015 |
20150317452 | CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION TERMINAL AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A control method of an information terminal according to the present disclosure causes a display to display a display screen which includes a first display region displaying an object medical image and a second display region displaying M number of similar medical images. When one instruction for magnifying any one similar medical image among the M number of similar medical images is sensed, with respect to the M number of or fewer similar medical images in the M number of ranges that are displayed in the second display region upon sensing the one instruction, a corresponding region of interest in each of the M number of or fewer similar medical images is magnified so as to match a position corresponding to a center of each of individual regions in the second display region while maintaining a size of each of the individual regions at a same size. | 11-05-2015 |
20150347464 | CONTROL METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A display control unit vertically divides a case display area in accordance with the number of disease names selected by a user to create a number of sub-areas equal to the number of disease names. Each of the sub-areas is vertically elongated so that thumbnail images of similar cases of the corresponding disease name are displayed so as to be aligned in a column. The display control unit displays, in each sub-area, thumbnail images of similar cases of the corresponding disease name so that the thumbnail images are aligned in a column in order of decreasing similarity to a search query image displayed in a layout area. | 12-03-2015 |
20150356245 | CONTROL METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A method for controlling an information terminal causes a computer of the information terminal to receive, from a case retrieval system, a plurality of similar medical images having a feature quantity of a region of interest and a certain degree of similarity in accordance with the region of interest included in a target medical image, displays a display screen displaying the plurality of received similar medical images on a touch panel display, the display screen including a display region in which at least some of the plurality of received similar medical images are displayed, displays, if selection of a first similar medical image from among the at least some of the plurality of received similar medical images displayed in the display region is detected, the first similar medical image across the display region, and displays, if a swipe operation performed on the first similar medical image is detected, a second similar medical image, which has second highest similarity next to the first similar medical image among the plurality of similar medical images, in the display region such that a corresponding region of interest included in the second similar medical image is located at a certain position in the display region. | 12-10-2015 |
20150356271 | CONTROL METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - Similar medical images having a predetermined similarity to a region of interest in a medical image to be interpreted are received from a case search system. A display screen on which the received similar medical images are displayed is displayed on a display. The display screen includes display frames within which similar medical images are displayed. In response to an instruction for enlarging the similar medical images, corresponding regions of interest in the similar medical images are enlarged and displayed with the sizes of the display frames maintained unchanged on the display screen. In response to an instruction for causing a selected similar medical image among the enlarged and displayed similar medical images to move within a corresponding display frame, the other unselected similar medical image(s) is caused to move within a corresponding display frame synchronously with the movement of the selected similar medical image in the same movement direction. | 12-10-2015 |
20160125162 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION TERMINAL, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A display screen including a first display area displaying plural similar medical images received from a case search system and a second display area displaying disease names is displayed on a display of an information terminal. Each similar medical image is a medical image contained in an electronic medical book, and has additional information which includes the number of a page containing the similar medical image. If the user's selection of a similar medical image is detected for the first time after the display of the display screen, a page of an electronic medical book containing the selected similar medical image is displayed on the display screen. If the user's selection of a disease name is detected for the first time after the display of the display screen, a page of an electronic medical book containing differential items corresponding to the selected disease name is displayed on the display screen. | 05-05-2016 |
