After selecting two or more image series for comparison, images of the image series are interleaved so that they are alternatively displayed in a comparison pane on a display device. In one embodiment, after one or more image series are selected for comparison, an interleaved image series is created containing each of the images of the one or more selected image series, or, alternatively, the interleaved image series comprises links to the images arranged in the interleaved pattern. If differences exist in the images of the multiple image series, these differences may be more easily detectable as the display device cycles between the images. Comparison of images in an interleaved image series may be more advantageous if the images of each selected image series are of a common anatomical area, common image size, and the images are in the same order.

A radiation image processing apparatus includes a display and a hardware processor. The display displays an image. The hardware processor is configured to perform the following, acquire radiographic moving image data comprising a plurality of frame images, subject the moving image data to predetermined analytical processing, generate an analyzed moving image comprising a plurality of analyzed frame images, select a plurality of specific analyzed frame images from the analyzed frame images of the analyzed moving image, derive a calculation signal value based on signal values of pixels having common coordinates positioned in common coordinates in the selected specific analyzed frame images, and cause a calculated image based on the calculation signal values generated according to coordinates to appear on the display.

Examples of this disclosure include a medical imaging system having a control module, a foldable touchscreen with at least a first touchscreen section and a second touchscreen section extending from the first section and being tiltable relative to the first section. The control module has a watertight surface resistant to liquids and configured to be cleanable by disinfectant liquid on the first and second sections, and between the two sections. Other examples include a method for medical imaging that includes displaying a first image generated by the imaging system on the third section of the system, duplicating the first image, displaying the first duplicated image on at least one of the first section and the second section such that a user can at least one of mark an area on the latter and have annotation options, and in response, processing the first image using a predefined algorithm.

A radiography system includes an image former, a first determiner, and an operation controller. The image former performs serial radiography of repeatedly generating a frame that constitutes a video. The first determiner determines whether a next test action is the serial radiography. The operation controller makes the image former begin turning a switch element on/off in a same manner as a manner in the serial radiography before start of the next test action in a case where the first determiner determines that the next test action is the serial radiography.

A method of viewing a patient including inserting a catheter is described for health procedure navigation. A CT scan is carried out on a body part of a patient. Raw data from the CT scan is processed to create three-dimensional image data, storing the image data in the data store. Projectors receive generated light in a pattern representative of the image data and waveguides guide the light to a retina of an eye of a viewer while light from an external surface of the body transmits to the retina of the eye so that the viewer sees the external surface of the body augmented with the processed data rendering of the body part.

An image displaying system according to an embodiment includes an observation target device, a display device and processing circuitry. The display device is configured to display an image. The processing circuitry is configured to: arrange a three-dimensional model relating to the observation target device in a virtual space; acquire data indicating a relative positional relationship between an operator and the observation target device; generate an image of a three-dimensional model included in a blind area when viewed from the operator, based on the data indicating the relative positional relationship and on the three-dimensional model arranged in the virtual space; and display the image on the display device.

A method for defining the shape of a radiation beam that is directed toward a subject and to a free-standing imaging detector detects the position and orientation of the imaging detector relative to a radiation source, then adjusts an aperture that lies in the path of the radiation beam to shape the beam for incidence on a predetermined area of the detector according to the detected imaging detector position. The radiation source is energized to emit the shaped radiation beam and the image data about the subject is acquired from the imaging detector.

An operating apparatus for a medical device and a corresponding operating method are provided. The operating apparatus includes a projector that is configured for real, virtual, or real and virtual projection of an operator surface onto a display element, and a capture facility for non-contact capturing of an interaction of an operator with the projected operator surface. A sensor system for independent detection of the interaction is arranged separately from the capture facility on the display element.

A medical information processing system in an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires an ultrasound image including an observation target and having additional information, positional information indicating a position of an ultrasound probe in a subject at time of collection of the ultrasound image, and a reference image obtained by taking an image of a region including the observation target at a time point other than the time of collection. The processing circuitry generates, based on the positional information, correspondence information in which the ultrasound image and the reference image are associated with each other. The processing circuitry causes an output unit to output the generated correspondence information.
