An ultrasound imaging support apparatus includes: at least one processor configured to acquire at least one of a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images or a three-dimensional ultrasound image; determine whether or not all of a plurality of imaging targets being defined in advance are imaged in the at least one of the plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images or the three-dimensional ultrasound image; and perform notification indicating that an imaging target which is not imaged is present in a case where the at least one processor determines that the imaging target which is not imaged is present among the plurality of imaging targets which are defined in advance.

Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging support apparatus, three-dimensional ultrasound imaging support method, and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging support program

A three-dimensional ultrasound image generation apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images from each of a first viewpoint and a second viewpoint; a probe position information acquisition unit that acquires, for each imaging, position information of an ultrasound probe; a three-dimensional ultrasound image generation unit that generates three-dimensional ultrasound images; an organ extraction unit that extracts an organ included in the three-dimensional ultrasound images; an image processing unit that extracts an unclear image region from the three-dimensional ultrasound image from which at least the organ is extracted based on position information of the organ and the position information of the ultrasound probe and that performs suppression processing of suppressing unclearness; and an image combination unit that generates a combined three-dimensional ultrasound image by combining the three-dimensional ultrasound images from two viewpoints including the three-dimensional ultrasound image on which the suppression processing is performed.

An information processing system, an information processing method, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an information processing program that optimize a second process that is performed for a medical image after a first process are provided. An information processing system includes an automatic processing server that includes a CPU-and a storage unit storing instructions executable by the CPU-, and a workstation that includes a CPU-and a storage unit storing instructions executable by the CPU-. The CPU-carries out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process. The CPU-specifies a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among a plurality of processes performable by a plurality of applications, and performs the second process for the medical image subjected to the first process.

Information processing system, information processing method, and information processing program

The CPUobtains a three-dimensional imagethat is a captured image of an organ of a subject and obtains a plurality of ultrasound tomographic imagesthat are images of the organ successively captured at different positions. The CPUidentifies, for each ultrasound tomographic imageamong the plurality of ultrasound tomographic images, a CT tomographic imagecorresponding to a cross section the same as a cross section to which the ultrasound tomographic imagecorresponds, among a plurality of CT tomographic imagesthat constitute the three-dimensional image, and associates position information indicating a position corresponding to the identified CT tomographic imagewith the ultrasound tomographic imageamong the plurality of ultrasound tomographic images. The CPUgenerates a three-dimensional ultrasound imagefrom the plurality of ultrasound tomographic imageson the basis of the position information.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and information processing program

A processor acquires an ultrasound image group including a plurality of ultrasound images of a subject captured by an ultrasound probe, which is moved along a body surface of the subject, at a plurality of imaging positions of the subject. The processor searches for a similar ultrasound image group that is similar to features of the acquired ultrasound image group with reference to a plurality of diagnosed ultrasound image groups and a diagnostic log which is for each of the plurality of diagnosed ultrasound image groups and which includes positional information indicating a position of a disease. The processor specifies an imaging position on a body surface where a disease predicted in the subject is capable of being imaged, using the positional information included in the diagnostic log for the similar ultrasound image group, and notifies of the specified imaging position.

Ultrasonography apparatus, ultrasonography method, and ultrasonography program

A three-dimensional ultrasound imaging support apparatus includes: a processor configured to generate a three-dimensional ultrasound image based on a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images which are imaged by an ultrasound probe at different positions of a certain portion of a subject and an imaging position of the ultrasound probe for each imaging; estimate an imaging portion corresponding to the two-dimensional ultrasound image and to the three-dimensional ultrasound image; determine, by using a guideline in which a plurality of imaging targets to be imaged are defined in advance for each portion of the subject, for the estimated imaging portion, whether or not all of the plurality of imaging targets defined in advance in the guideline are imaged; and perform notification indicating that the imaging target which is not imaged is present in a case where it is determined that the imaging target which is not imaged is present.
