An ultrasonic image diagnostic apparatus includes: an ultrasonic image acquisitor that acquires an ultrasonic image generated on the basis of a reception signal obtained by an ultrasonic probe that transmits and receives ultrasonic waves to and from a subject; an identification result acquisitor that acquires, by inputting the ultrasonic image acquired to any of a plurality of identifiers that identifies an identification target object captured in an input ultrasonic image, an identification result output from the identifier, and a hardware processor that changes the identifier to which the ultrasonic image acquired is input.

Ultrasonic image diagnostic apparatus, identifier changing method, and identifier changing program

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causes a computer to perform an analysis process based on a radiation moving image in which a dynamic state of a specific site of a subject is captured. The program includes the analysis process in which, an analysis is performed based on the radiation moving image wherein when a plane in which the specific site is movable is to be a movable plane, the radiation moving image is obtained by irradiating radiation on the specific site in a state in which the radiation is orthogonal to the movable plane.

A dynamic analysis system includes a hardware processor. A first plurality of frame images showing a dynamic state of a chest of an intubated first examinee is obtained by radiation imaging of the chest of the first examinee. Based on the first plurality of frame images, the hardware processor calculates a signal value change amount and/or a shape change amount of a predetermined structure of the chest in the first plurality of frame images. Based on the calculated signal value change amount and/or shape change amount, the hardware processor generates assessment information to assess a respiratory status of the first examinee at time of intubation or extubation.

Dynamic analysis system

A dynamic analysis system includes an imaging unit, an attenuation process unit and an analysis unit. The imaging unit images a dynamic state of a subject, thereby generating a plurality of frame images showing the dynamic state of the subject. The attenuation process unit performs an attenuation process to attenuate an image signal component of a product in the frame images. The analysis unit analyzes the dynamic state of the subject based on the frame images after the attenuation process.

A radiation image capturing system includes a radiation image capturing apparatus, one or more radiation generation apparatuses and a calculation unit. The radiation image capturing apparatus includes a control unit which controls a scan driving unit and a readout integrated circuit of the radiation image capturing apparatus since before start of irradiation of the radiation image capturing apparatus and detects the start of the irradiation when data read out by the readout integrated circuit is equal to or more than a threshold. Before radiation image capturing, the calculation unit calculates a maximum body thickness for each of the radiation generation apparatuses on the basis of the data read out in the radiation image capturing apparatus irradiated by the radiation generation apparatus, the maximum body thickness up to which the control unit can detect the start of the irradiation through a subject.

Radiation image capturing system

The present invention provides a method for displaying medical images and a medical image display system that do not require a medical practitioner to move his/her line of sight at the time of comparing/interpreting images and that can improve accuracy in diagnosis. According to the medical image display system of the present invention: an X-ray imaging device captures an image of a subject according to a first imaging mode by a fringe-scanning imaging device or a second imaging mode by a Fourier transform imaging device; a controller creates at least two images from among an X-ray absorption image, a differential phase image, and a small-angle scattering image on the basis of the captured moir image; and said at least two images that have been created are displayed in turn in the same position on a display section.
