Title: Hirohiko Narita: Inventor of an Ultrasound Diagnostic System

Introduction

Hirohiko Narita is an inventor based in Tokyo, Japan, associated with Fujifilm Corporation. His patent work includes an ultrasound imaging system designed to provide remotely accessible images with minimal delay. His listed portfolio includes 1 patent.

Latest Patents

Narita’s patent, “Ultrasound Diagnostic System and Image Processing Apparatus,” describes a system that transmits raw ultrasound data from an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to a separate image processing apparatus over a communication path that includes a high-speed connection. The diagnostic apparatus processes the data to generate a first ultrasound image, while the remote image processing apparatus applies different processing to generate and display a second image. This approach is intended to provide a person at a remote location with an ultrasound image different from the one displayed on the diagnostic apparatus, as close to real time as possible.

Career Highlights

Narita’s documented patent contribution focuses on ultrasound diagnostics and remote image processing. The invention separates image generation from the diagnostic apparatus, enabling a remote system to create and display an alternative image from the transmitted raw data.

Collaborations

Narita is associated with Fujifilm Corporation. His listed coworkers include Hidenao Kubota and Katsunori Asafusa.

Conclusion

Hirohiko Narita’s patent describes a practical approach to remote ultrasound imaging by transmitting raw data for separate image processing, supporting access to a distinct ultrasound image with minimal delay.
