An image processing apparatus includes at least one processor. The processor is configured to execute processing of acquiring a first image as a radiographic image including an image of a subject generated by radioscopy for continuously irradiating the subject with radiation to perform imaging, acquiring a second image different from the radiographic image including the image of the subject before acquiring the first image, specifying a subject region as a region where the image of the subject is formed in the first image, based on the second image, and executing image processing of enhancing contrast of the specified subject region on the first image and outputting the first image after the image processing.

A CPU acquires a radiographic image obtained by imaging an imaging region where a patient is present, with a radioscopy apparatus using radiation emitted from a radiation source and applied to an irradiation field adjusted by a collimator. The CPU specifies a structure image that is included in the radiographic image and represents a structure of a specific shape having transmittance of radiation lower than the patient, based on the specific shape. The CPU executes image processing corresponding to the structure image on a patient image region imaged by a radioscopy apparatus in a case where an irradiation field excluding a position of the structure is set as the irradiation field, in a region in the radiographic image.

A body thickness conversion unit converts a body thickness from a distance image imaged by a distance measurement camera to acquire the body thickness. A setting unit sets a gradation transformation function for use in gradation transformation processing to a radiographic image corresponding to the body thickness. A radiographic image acquisition unit acquires the radiographic image output from a radiation detector in radioscopy. A gradation transformation processing unit starts the gradation transformation processing with the gradation transformation function set by the setting unit.

A console includes a CPU as at least one processor. The CPU acquires a radiographic image obtained by imaging an imaging region where a patient is present, with a radioscopy apparatus. The CPU specifies a structure image that is included in the radiographic image and represents a structure of a specific shape having transmittance of radiation lower than the patient, based on the specific shape. The CPU executes image processing corresponding to the structure image to the radiographic image.

A method, system and computer readable storage media for segmenting individual intra-oral measurements and registering said individual intraoral measurements to eliminate or reduce registration errors. An operator may use a dental camera to scan teeth and a trained deep neural network may automatically detect portions of the input images that can cause registration errors and reduce or eliminate the effect of these sources of registration errors.

A diagnosis support system includes a calculator configured to calculate position information indicating a positional relationship between a biological sensor and a predetermined region of a measurement target; and an extractor configured to extract, from biological information already diagnosed, biological information that is associated with position information, which is similar to the position information calculated by the calculator.

According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnosis apparatus includes an X-ray generator, an X-ray diaphragm, an X-ray detector, an image capturing unit, a blood vessel running information acquiring unit, a device position specifying unit, and a diaphragm controller. The X-ray generator emits X-rays. The X-ray diaphragm restricts a region to be irradiated with X-rays emitted from the X-ray generator. The X-ray detector detects X-rays emitted from the X-ray generator. The image capturing unit acquires an X-ray image based on a detection result obtained by the X-ray detector. The blood vessel running information acquiring unit acquires blood vessel running information. The device position specifying unit specifies the position of a device in the X-ray image. The diaphragm controller controls the X-ray diaphragm based on the blood vessel running information and the position of the device.

A dynamic image processing apparatus processes image data of a medical dynamic image that includes a plurality of frame images obtained from successively imaging a subject and that shows a dynamic state of the subject. The dynamic image processing apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor enhances resolution of at least one or more of the plurality of frame images included in the medical dynamic image to a high resolution and generates a secondary medical image. The hardware processor executes a recording process in which a record is kept to show that the secondary medical image is generated secondarily from the existing medical dynamic image.

Systems and methods are provided for planning placement of an acetabular implant for a patient based on pelvic tilt. The system includes one or more sensors to be placed on the patient to provide measurements of a pelvic tilt angle of the patient taken with the patient in various functional positions to produce patient-specific data based on pelvic tilt from which to plan an inclination angle and a version angle of the acetabular implant for the patient.

This invention provides a mapped dental Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) workspace for the planning of placement of dental implants in the oral cavity. The workspace includes a template coordinate system in the oral cavity of a patient by placing a radiographic template having at least three radiographic markers of predetermined shape, size, and positions in the oral cavity, wherein the predetermined position is relative to at least one anatomical feature (natural or artificial) in the oral cavity. With this method, only a single CBCT scan is required. The CBCT scan is used to create a CBCT workspace with a coordinate system based on the radiographic template. Within the workspace, Implant Planning Software can be used to plan dental implants.
