A medical image generation apparatus including: a 4D image data generation unit generating 4D image data composed of a plurality of 3D image data blocks each having information indicating a number in chronological order of the 3D image data blocks using image information acquired by taking images of an object; and an image generation unit generating movie data composed of a plurality of 2D image data blocks generated from the plurality of 3D image data blocks constituting the four-dimensional image data and generating relevant information associating each of the two-dimensional image data blocks constituting the movie data with one of the 3D image data blocks which is the source of the 2D image data block.

Medical image generation apparatus, medical image storage apparatus, medical image display apparatus, and medical image display system

According to one embodiment, a medical image observation apparatus includes a data receiver, a display, and a controller. The controller controls the display to array medical images for each of groups, the medical images being classified into the groups in accordance with at least one of a type of medical image generation apparatus, an imaging condition, an image generation method, an imaging position, an instruction and a setting by an operator, and an imaging date/time, to display medical images corresponding to at least two of the groups, and to scroll the medical images arrayed on a display screen on a group basis based on a scroll instruction of the operator.

Medical image observation apparatus

A medical image display apparatushaving a display component, an image data storage part, an information storage component, an operation component, and a control part. The display componentdisplays a medical image display screen P on which image display regions Pto Pare defined. The image data storage partstores image data of medical images. The information storage componentstores process associating informationfor associating combinations of the image display regions Pto Pwith the processing content of image data of medical images. The control part, when two medical images displayed on different image display regions of the image display regions Pto Phave each been designated using the operation component, instructs to execute, for at least one image data of said two medical images, the process indicated in the processing content associated with the combination of the image display regions in which these two medical images are displayed by the process associating information

Medical image display apparatus in which specification of a medical image enables execution of image processing

An image display device connected to an image archive device that stores multiple image data, the image display device comprising: a memory that stores address information of said multiple image data; a display part that is capable of scroll-displaying said image data in a predefined order; a manipulation part for inputting an instruction regarding the scroll display of the image data displayed on said display part; and an image display controller that determines image data to be read from said image archive device depending on the image data and scrolling speed of a display object designated with an instruction that has been input by said manipulation part, reads the image data from said image archive device based on said address information, and also causes said display part to display the image data of a new display object from among the image data that have been read.

Image display device and image display method

A medical image processing apparatus includes a selection unit which selects a combination of images acquired in substantially equal time phases in a cycle from a first image group including a plurality of first images acquired at different time points in a first period by imaging an organ whose shape cyclically varies and a second image group including a plurality of second images acquired at different time points in a second period different from the first period by imaging the organ based on a characteristics value indicative of characteristics of the shape of the organ measured from the first and second image groups, and a generation unit which generates combination information indicative of the combination selected by the selection unit.

Medical image processing apparatus and medical image processing method

Provided is a medical image information system that prepares a diagnosis report for which link information for referring to a medical image stored in an image server is set, and displays a medical image not stored in the image server. The medical image information system includes a reservation request unit that makes a storage location reservation request for the medical image not stored in the image server prior to storing the medical image not stored in the image server, a reservation unit that receives the storage location reservation request and makes reservation for storage location of the medical image not stored in the image server, and a link information setting unit that sets the link information for the reserved storage location.

Medical image information system, image server and client

The admission of the editing of information on a key image of an object, the type of edit processing, and the contents targeted for edit processing are controlled in accordance with a combination of user information and device information (i.e., a scene where the key image is used).

Image diagnosis support system

The report storage stores an interpretation report that includes patient-identifying information, examination-specifying information, and medical image-specifying information that specifies medical image data. The image data storage stores the medical image data that includes image data and additional information for the image data that includes the patient-identifying information, the examination-specifying information, and the medical image-specifying information. The key image-searching part specifies an interpretation report that includes patient-identifying information specified by a display request for the medical image data and specifies the medical image data using the medical image-specifying information included in the specified interpretation report. The image data-searching part reads the medical image data from the image data storage based on the additional information of the specified medical image data and the display request. The displaying part displays a medical image based on the read medical image data.

Medical image observation system

A medical image display apparatus has a dividing unit and a setting unit. The dividing unit divides a range after changing to an overlapping range that a range after changing overlaps a range before changing, and a non-overlapping range that not includes the overlapping range, when a position of the range is changed. The setting unit configured to set a pixel value after changing based on a pixel value constituting a diagnostic image before changing and voxel values along a predefined direction in the non-overlapping range according to a predefined condition about a pixel that a position of a voxel value in volume data corresponding to the pixel value constituting the diagnostic image before changing exists in the overlapping range, among each pixels constituting a diagnostic image after changing generated based on the voxel values along the predefined direction in the range after changing.

Medical image display apparatus

By selecting at least one of an image and a report to be provided for an institute to which a patient is introduced, an object having the same series ID as that of the image or report is automatically obtained. Medical information including the object is generated and stored in an external medium. By selecting an image or the like to be provided to the institute to which a patient is introduced, address information of the selected image or the like and address information of an object or the like having the same series ID as that of the image or the like is automatically obtained. Medical information including the address information is generated and stored in an external medium.
