A medical image handling system includes a monitor for displaying a medical image, an input device for inputting an image reading report corresponding to the medical image displayed on the monitor, and a processor. The processor judges the presence or absence of an image reading report corresponding to the medical image displayed on the monitor, and restricts a change of the medical image in a case where the image reading report is judged as being absent.

Medical image handling system and method

A virtual machine system includes a physical memory and a virtual machine monitor (VMM). When a kernel image of one guest OS, in startup of the one guest OS, has already been loaded on the physical memory, the VMM starts up one guest OS with the kernel image.

Virtual machine system and operating method thereof

In a radiographic image processing apparatus for generating synthesized image data by synthesizing a plurality of partial radiographic images generated by radiation that has passed through the same object, additional information added to each of the plurality of partial radiographic images is acquired. On the basis of the acquired additional information, it is determined whether synthesis is to be permitted. When it is determined that synthesis is not to be permitted, generation of the synthesized image data is inhibited.

Radiographic image processing apparatus, radiographic image processing method, computer program, and recording medium therefor

N images in a respiratory cycle which are radiographed in year P are input, and binary lung field images are extracted from the respective front chest images. Lung field areas S and lung field heights are then calculated. In forming area and height variation waveforms, regions of the N input images are obtained and plotted. Each image is determined as an image belonging to the inspiration mode or expiration mode. The respective images are sorted and stored. Similar processing is performed for N images in a respiratory cycle which are radiographed in year P+1, and the resultant images are stored. Difference images are obtained from the basic images radiographed in year P+1 and the reference images radiographed in year P for each mode by image analysis, thereby extracting changes over time.

Radiographic image processing method and apparatus

In a photoelectric conversion apparatus obtained by arranging and fixing a plurality of semiconductor element substrates onto a base with an adhesive, the levels of the upper surfaces of the substrates are adjusted with a desired thickness of the adhesive so as to set the upper surfaces within the same plane while the distance from the upper surface of the base to the semiconductor element surface of each substrate is kept to a design value, thereby realizing a photoelectric conversion apparatus constituted by a plurality of substrates arranged two-dimensionally, which eliminates level gaps between the substrates, and hence is free from problems such as a decrease in resolution, a deterioration in sensitivity, and peeling of a phosphor and the like.

A photographing device is provided with a pair of support members positioned in mutually opposed manner across a film, a sensitivity increasing screen mounted on at least one of the paired support members, a sealing member for hermetically sealing a space containing the film and the sensitivity increasing screen, a vacuum pump for reducing the pressure in the sealed space to maintain the film and the sensitivity increasing screen in mutual close contact, and a support member for maintaining the film in a predetermined position between the support member in the sealed space. Thus the sensitizing screen can be securely contacted with the film, and errors in operation are reduced even when the photographing operation is conducted with the film in vertical or inclined position.
