A diagnostic system, method, and a computer-readable storage medium for determining a severity of a gastric condition, such as gastritis, in a subject are disclosed. The diagnostic system includes a processor that obtains an image of a stomach of the subject collected by an endoscope. The processor can compare the subject image with reference normal and abnormal stomach images. If the subject image is abnormal, the processor can generate a subject abnormality image indicative of the differences between the subject image and the normal image. By comparing the generated subject abnormality image with reference abnormality images representative of different severity levels of gastritis, the processor can diagnose the subject as having a particular severity level of gastritis.

A diagnostic system, method, and a computer-readable storage medium for determining a severity of a gastric condition, such as gastric cancer, in a subject are disclosed. The diagnostic system includes a processor that can obtain various images of a stomach of the subject including wavelength images and generate difference images from the wavelength images. The processor can compare the subject images with reference images representative of different severity levels of gastric cancer, or can input the subject images into a learned model trained using the reference images stored in the database to extract a feature pattern corresponding to a severity of gastric cancer to diagnose the subject as having a particular severity level of gastric cancer.

A apparatus for detecting a biological data of a target patient from an attachable sensor attached to the target patient includes a circuit and a storage that stores therein a first correspondence relationship between a state of a battery included in the sensor and a measurement error of the sensor. The circuit obtains the biological data and battery data indicating the state of the battery, the obtained biological data and the obtained battery data being collected by the sensor, and generates corrected biological data by correcting the biological data according to the battery data, wherein the generating of the corrected biological data includes generating correction data that depends on the battery data by referring to the storage that stores the first correspondence relationship, and generating the corrected biological data by correcting the biological data using the correction data.

An image processing system includes an image acquisition section that consecutively acquires still images, a direction determination section that determines a camera moving direction, a slit image generation section that generates slit images based on the consecutively acquired still images, and a panoramic image generation section that performs a synthesis process of the slit images to generate a panoramic image. The direction determination section determines whether the camera moving direction is a first camera moving direction or a second camera moving direction when the imaging section is moved during capture. The panoramic image generation section performs the synthesis process of each slit image based on the camera moving direction when the consecutively acquired still images were captured to generate the panoramic image.

An image processing system includes an image acquisition section that consecutively acquires still images, a direction determination section that determines a camera moving direction that is a moving direction of an imaging section during capture, and a panoramic image generation section that performs a synthesis process of the consecutively acquired still images to generate a panoramic image. The direction determination section determines whether the camera moving direction is a first camera moving direction or a second camera moving direction that differs from the first camera moving direction when the imaging section is moved during capture. The panoramic image generation section performs the synthesis process of a still image among the consecutively acquired still images based on the camera moving direction when the consecutively acquired still images were captured to generate the panoramic image.

An image processing apparatus is configured comprising a necessary/unnecessary determination data generating unit configured to generate necessary/unnecessary determination data; an image encoding unit assigning identification information respectively to, and recording, in a recording unit, each piece of data after division of each moving image of a moving image after encoding, a necessary/unnecessary determining unit configured to determine an unnecessary moving image frame based on necessary/unnecessary determination data; and a moving image file managing unit configured to rewrite information indicating a state of data at a recording unit in the recording unit corresponding to a moving image frame determined as unnecessary moving image frame by the necessary/unnecessary determining unit into information that there is no data.

An optical scanning device has a light source. A condenser lens gathers rays of emitted light from the light source. A reflecting section reflects the light gathered by the condenser lens. An optical scanning section includes of a fixed section and a moving section and causes the light reflected by the reflecting section to scan an object to be scanned. A photodetecting section receives and detects the light returned from the object scanned by the optical scanning section. The reflecting section and the photodetecting section are integrally formed on the moving section of the optical scanning section.
