According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, a gantry, a column, and a display. The display configured to display, on the floor surface, a graphic corresponding to one of a range in which a field of view formed by the X-ray source and the X-ray detector is projected onto the floor surface from a vertical direction of the gantry and a range in which an outer edge of the bore is projected onto the floor surface from the vertical direction of the gantry.

A medical image navigation system (2) includes a viewport module (4), a proximity module (26), a visualization module (28) and a matching module (34). The viewport module (4) navigates a plurality of image slices of a study and based on input from at least one input device selects at least one image which is displayed and any annotations associated with the selected at least one image on a display device. The proximity module (26) for the selected image slice returns at least one proximate annotation, if available. The visualization module (28) for the returned at least one proximate annotation visualizes the at least one proximate annotation which is displayed by the viewport module on the selected at least one image. A matching module (34) retrieves for display an image slice in one study which corresponds to a displayed image slice from another study.

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 method and system for acquiring, processing, storing, and displaying x-ray mammograms Mp tomosynthesis images Tr representative of breast slices, and x-ray tomosynthesis projection images Tp taken at different angles to a breast, where the Tr images are reconstructed from Tp images

A medical image control system includes a medical image diagnostic apparatus and a mobile terminal. The medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a collecting unit, a distributing unit, and a reflecting unit. The collecting unit captures a subject based on predetermined image capturing conditions to collect time-series image data. The distributing unit distributes the time-series image data to the mobile terminal at least when the collecting unit collects the time-series image data. The reflecting unit receives control information and reflects the received control information to a process. The mobile terminal includes a replaying unit and a control information transmitting unit. The replaying unit receives the time-series image data distributed and replay the received time-series image data. The control information transmitting unit receives an operation related to the medical image diagnostic apparatus, and transmits control information indicating the received operation to the medical image diagnostic apparatus.

A medical information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to record, when a layout of a display area is changed at a first step included in a clinical workflow, layout change information that indicates a changed content, determine, when the layout of the display area is changed at the first step, whether to change a layout of a display area set in advance for a second step that is any step after the first step, based on the layout change information, and change the layout at the second step based on a result of determination.

A medical system for use in a lithotripsy procedure may include a processor configured to receive input from a first imaging device, wherein the first imaging device may be configured to send image data representative of an image captured in a lumen of a kidney, bladder, or ureter to the processor. The processor may be configured to display the image on a display device coupled to the processor, and analyze the image to sense the presence of an object within the image. If an object was sensed within the image, the processor may analyze the image to estimate a size of the object, and display the estimate on the display device.

An X-ray imaging apparatus 100 comprises an X-ray imaging unit 10 provided in an X-ray imaging room 92, a first console 20 for the X-ray imaging unit 10 provided in the X-ray imaging room 92, a second console 30 for the X-ray imaging unit 10 provided outside the X-ray imaging room 92, an analysis unit 40 that performs an analysis process on each of first detection information acquired by a first operator detection unit that detects a first operator 90a and second detection information acquired by a second operator detection unit that detects a second operator 90b to acquire first posture information 73 of the first operator 90a and second posture information 76 of the second operator 90b, and a control unit 50 that, based on the first posture information 73 and the second posture information 76, performs control to switch an operating authority 75 for enabling operation of the X-ray imaging unit 10 between the first console 20 and the second console 30.

The X-ray imaging apparatus is provided with an image processing unit for acquiring the presence or absence of a subject holding member, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire a movement-prohibited direction which is a direction in which the subject holding member is not provided, based on the presence or absence of the subject holding member, and perform at least one of restricting the operation of the table top moving mechanism and notifying that the direction of tilting the table top and the movement-prohibited direction coincide, when the direction of tilting the table top and the movement prohibited direction coincide.
