A computed tomography (CT) image processing apparatus and a CT image processing method are provided. The CT image processing apparatus may generate a virtual monochromatic image (VMI) by applying a weight to each of first, second, and third images corresponding to three different energy ranges. The CT image processing apparatus may set a region of interest (ROI) on a CT image, determine a VMI at an energy level at which a CNR of the ROI is at a maximum among a plurality of VMIs, and display the determined VMI.

Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data.

Systems and methods for determining one or more target examination parameters is provided. The methods may include obtaining target examination information of a subject and generating one or more initial examination parameters based on the target examination information. The methods may further include obtaining one or more historical examination parameters associated with the subject and updating at least one of the one or more initial examination parameters based on the one or more historical examination parameters to obtain one or more target examination parameters. The one or more target examination parameters may be used for performing a target examination on the subject.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for an x-ray detection device for detecting radiation scattered off of a target during an imaging procedure and generating temporal data indicating the time of occurrence of a pulse of radiation emitted towards the target. The temporal data can be sent to a host device and used to timestamp images generated from the pulses of radiation. The x-ray detection device is portable and can be installed in a catheterization laboratory or imaging environment to detect the occurrence of radiation, without occluding or partially occluding the beam source. Aspects of the disclosure also provide for a system for receiving temporal data generated by the x-ray detection device, and accurately tagging received image frames based on the temporal data.

Techniques for composite imagery rendering in a diminished reality environment for medical diagnosis are provided. In one aspect, a method for composite image rendering in a diminished reality environment for medical diagnosis includes: analyzing medical imagery scans for a patient visiting a medical office for consultation with a physician for a diagnosis; obtaining real-time images of the patient who is physically located in the medical office; creating a composite image of the patient comprising relevant portions of the medical imagery scans combined with the real-time images of the patient; selecting one or more portions of the composite image to diminish for the diagnosis; and rendering the composite image in a diminished reality environment.

Healthcare services can be automated utilizing a system that recognizes at least one characteristic of a patient based on images of the patient acquired by an image capturing device. Relying on information extracted from these images, the system may automate multiple aspects of a medical procedure such as patient identification and verification, positioning, diagnosis and/or treatment planning using artificial intelligence or machine learning techniques. By automating these operations, healthcare services can be provided remotely and/or with minimum physical contact between the patient and a medical professional.

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.

Systems and methods are provided for use of analysis assistant during ultrasound imaging. Database may be acquired on a medical imaging technique during medical imaging based examination of a patient; and one or more medical images may be generated, based on the acquired dataset, and displayed. An end-result associated with at least one medical image may be provided, when triggered analysis assistance relating to the end-result associated with the at least one medical image may be provided. Providing the analysis assistance may include, automatically: identifying one or more intermediate steps performed or used in obtaining or determining the end-result; determining for each of the one or more intermediate steps corresponding information; and providing to a user the determined information associated with each of the one or more intermediate steps.

Systems, methods, and devices for capturing a single image with multiple exposures is provided. An imaging device may be provided comprising a source configured to emit a wave for a time period and a detector configured to receive a signal indicative of the wave. A wave may be emitted for a time period and a signal may be received indicative of the emitted wave. A first image dataset may be saved with a first timestamp referencing a first time within the time period. A second image dataset may be saved with a second timestamp referencing a second time within the time period. The second time may occur after the first time.

An X-ray diagnosis apparatus controls to display information based on an error in an index value evaluating a state of a bone of an object based on at least one of a captured image of the object and an imaging condition which correspond to X-rays with two different types of energies.
