A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer program code executed by a computer processor that executes an imaging process comprising: acquiring a medical image generated based on a signal detected by a catheter insertable into a body lumen; estimating a cause of an image defect by inputting the acquired medical image to a model learned to output the cause of the image defect when the medical image in which the image defect occurs is input; and outputting introduction information for introducing a countermeasure for removing the estimated cause of the image defect.

Removing an image defect occuring in a medical image before examination based on the generation time point

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program executed by a computer processor to execute a process including: acquiring a medical image generated based on a signal detected by a catheter inserted into a luminal organ; detecting an object region included in the medical image by inputting the acquired medical image into a model trained for detecting the object region included in the medical image; calculating reliability of each of a plurality of boundary points located on a boundary between the detected object region and another image area in the medical image; and correcting the boundary based on a detection result of the object region by the model by performing interpolation using the boundary points at which the calculated reliability satisfies a predetermined standard.

Program, information processing device, and information processing method

A program and the like that make a catheter system relatively easy to use. The program including a non-transitory computer-readable medium (CRM) storing computer program code executed by a computer processor that executes a process comprising: acquiring a tomographic image generated using a diagnostic imaging catheter inserted into a lumen organ; and inputting the acquired tomographic image to a first model configured to output types of a plurality of objects included in the tomographic image and ranges of the respective objects in association with each other when the tomographic image is input, and outputting the types and ranges of the objects output from the first model.

A diagnostic imaging catheter includes: a drive shaft including a signal transmitter and receiver at a distal end portion and configured to rotate and move forward and backward; a support tube on an outer periphery of the drive shaft along an axial direction and configured to move forward and backward i with the drive shaft; a sheath in which the drive shaft is positioned; a relay connector connected to a proximal end of the sheath; and a sealing member providing a seal between the relay connector and the support tube at a position proximal of the sheath proximal end. The relay connector includes a main lumen extending from the sealing member to the sheath proximal end and an injection lumen communicating with the main lumen at a communication port. A distal end of the support tube is movable to a position proximal of the front edge of the communication port.

Diagnostic imaging catheter and diagnostic imaging apparatus

A computer is caused to perform processing of: acquiring a plurality of medical images generated based on signals detected by a catheter inserted into a lumen organ while the catheter is moving a sensor along a longitudinal direction of the lumen organ, the lumen organ including a main trunk, a side branch branched from the main trunk, and a bifurcated portion of the main trunk and the side branch; and recognizing a main trunk cross-section, a side branch cross-section, and a bifurcated portion cross-section by inputting the acquired medical images into a learning model configured to recognize the main trunk cross-section, the side branch cross-section, and the bifurcated portion cross-section.

Method for generating model by recognizing cross-section regions in units of pixels

A medical system recommends a posture of a subject during a medical procedure. The medical system includes a processor and an output device. The processor determines suitable postures of the subject during the medical procedure based on at least one of subject information, including information on a posture of the subject obtained upon a predetermined movement by the subject and information on the procedure. The output device presents one or more of the suitable postures determined by the processor as recommended postures.

Medical system configured to display suitable postures of a subject during a medical procedure

Provided is a multi-row ball bearing that includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and two or more rows of balls retained by raceway surfaces of the outer and inner rings. Each of the raceway surfaces is formed as a Gothic arch groove, and the outer and inner rings are division races that are divided on at least one of the raceway 5 surfaces at a middle position of the raceway surface.

Multi-row ball bearing

A shaft includes a head part having an outer diameter greater than an inner diameter of an inner ring and being in contact with a side surface on one axial end side of the inner ring, and a column part extending from the head part toward the other axial end side and having an axial width greater than a bearing. An external periphery of the other axial end portion of the column part is formed with a male screw to be fastened with a support arm. A side surface on one axial end side of the shaft is formed with a concave section to which a tool capable of rotating the shaft is to be fitted. A bottom part of a housing is formed with a through-hole into which the tool can be inserted, at a position facing the concave section.
