A medical image diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector, an input interface, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to cause a protocol selecting screen to be displayed, which includes a first display region used for displaying a plurality of imaging protocols each including at least one scan and a second display region used for displaying a plurality of icons representing a plurality of scans selected from the imaging protocols and being arranged in a sequential order of execution. When a scan condition of the plurality of scans in the second display region is revised, the processing circuitry is configured to change the display the plurality of icons in accordance with the revised scan condition.

Medical image diagnosis apparatus and medical information display controlling device

An X-ray CT apparatus according to the embodiment executes an imaging according to an imaging protocol including one or more image elements corresponding to an imaging type. The X-ray CT apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector and processing circuitry. The X-ray source radiates an X-ray. The X-ray detector detects the X-ray. The processing circuitry merges, when first and second imaging protocols are set, first and second imaging elements, respectively included in the first and second imaging protocols, corresponding to same imaging type into a single third imaging element, thereby generating a third imaging protocol including the third imaging element.

X-ray CT apparatus and imaging management apparatus

According to an embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes reconstruction circuitry and control circuitry. The reconstruction circuitry is configured to, at the time of the monitoring scan, based on an output of an X-ray detector for detecting X-rays having passed through the object, reconstruct a first image concerning the object at the time of administration of the contrast medium and a second image concerning the object after a predetermined period elapses since administration of the contrast medium. The control circuitry is configured to shift from the monitoring scan to the actual scan based on a change amount of a CT value obtained when the entire reconstructed first image is compared with the entire reconstructed second image.

According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to extract a first medical image relating to a region of interest from a second medical image. The processing circuitry is configured to add, to the second medical image, reconstruction matrix information added to the first medical image.

Medical image processing apparatus, medical imaging apparatus and image archiving apparatus

An X-ray computed tomography (CT) apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry causes a CT image designated as a display object image to be displayed on a display, every time any of a plurality of reconstructed CT images is designated as the display object image. The processing circuitry causes a newly reconstructed enlarged CT image to be displayed on the display when the processing circuitry receives an enlargement instruction to enlarge the CT image displayed on the display. The processing circuitry performs preprocessing on raw data corresponding to the CT image designated as the display object image, every time any of the CT images is designated as the display object image. The processing circuitry reconstructs the enlarged CT image using the preprocessed raw data, based on the enlargement instruction, when the processing circuitry receives the enlargement instruction.

X-ray CT apparatus and image processing apparatus

According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, a projection data generation circuitry, a setting circuitry, and a scan start timing determination circuitry. The setting circuitry configured to set a region of interest on a slice image generated by a first scan for the object. The scan start timing determination circuitry configured to determine, based on a plurality of projection data values of interest corresponding to the region of interest out of the projection data values generated by a second scan at a dose lower than that in the first scan, a timing of terminating the second scan and starting a third scan at a dose higher than that in the second scan.

X ray computed tomography apparatus and scan start timing determination method

A medical apparatus according to an embodiment comprises a setting part, a creating part, and a display controller. The setting part is used for setting an insertion route of a puncture needle for a subject onto an image based on volume data. The creating part creates a graphic schematically indicating the volume data. The display controller displays the graphic on a display, and displays a route image corresponding to the insertion route.

Medical apparatus and X-ray CT system

According to an embodiment, X-ray CT apparatus includes X-ray generator includes X-ray tube, high-voltage generator, detector, controller and circuitry. High-voltage generator generates tube voltage to be applied to X-ray tube. Detector detects X-rays irradiated from X-ray tube and transmitted through a subject. Controller controls high-voltage generator to scan the subject with first radiation dose and with second radiation dose lower than first radiation dose. Circuitry generates first image based on projection data acquired by scan at first radiation dose, generates second image based on projection data acquired by scan at second radiation dose, and displays first image and second image in common window.

X-ray computed tomography apparatus and medical image display apparatus

A condition on the attribute of an image for generating multi-frame image data containing a plurality of frames of images per file from image data is stored beforehand. When image data is received, multi-frame image data is generated from the received image data based on incidental information contained in the image data and the condition stored beforehand. Then, the generated multi-frame image data is archived. When a request for an image is made by a certain terminal, an application functioning on the terminal is identified, and multi-frame image data appropriate for the application is sent from among the generated multi-frame image data.
