A processor is configured to set whether or not to generate a structure-highlighted synthesized two-dimensional image from a plurality of tomographic images and to set at least some of the plurality of tomographic images as storage-required images or non-storage-required images according to a result of the setting of whether or not to generate the structure-highlighted synthesized two-dimensional image.

The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for image evaluation. The method may include obtaining an original image including a representation of at least one subject. The method may include generating a plurality of target positioning results for each of the at least one subject by inputting the original image into a prediction model. The prediction model may include a plurality of branches. Each of the plurality of target positioning results may correspond to a branch of the plurality of branches. The method may include determining an evaluation result corresponding to the original image based on the plurality of target positioning results.

A hierarchical workflow is configured to associate examination information captured using an imaging platform with contextual metadata. The examination information may include ultrasound image data, which may be associated with annotations, measurements, pathology, body markers, and/or the like. The hierarchical workflow may comprise templates associated with respective anatomical regions, locations, volumes, and/or surfaces. A template may define configuration data to automatically adapt the imaging platform to capture imaging data in the corresponding anatomical region. The template may further include guidance information for the operator, including processing steps for capturing relevant examination information. Additional examination information may be captured and included in the hierarchical workflow.

Provided is a 3D bone density and bone age calculation apparatus using an artificial intelligence-based rotation manner. The 3D bone density and bone age calculation apparatus includes a main body, and the main body includes a rotary drum including a drum shaft gear, an X-ray generator, an intensifying screen, and an image data capturer, a drum driver including a motor shaft gear connected to the drum shaft gear so as to rotate the rotary drum, a motor, support rollers and one of an origin sensor and an encoder, an outer case and an inner case, a front case and a rear case, a capturing holder, and a controller configured to select an image-captured position of the rotary drum, and configured to input a current age, sex and nutritional status of a patient, etc. The controller includes a display configured to display captured images and a diagram indicating bone age.

A failed-image decision support apparatus includes a hardware processor and an outputter. The hardware processor performs, among multiple types of failed-image determination processes, at least one failed-image determination process on a medical image, thereby generating a determination result and determination basis information indicating a basis for the determination result. The outputter outputs the determination result and the determination basis information. Another failed-image decision support apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor performs, among multiple types of failed-image determination processes, at least one failed-image determination process on a medical image, thereby generating a determination result and determination basis information indicating a basis for the determination result, and controls output of the determination result and the determination basis information.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores instructions causing a computer that processes information stored in an image management apparatus to execute: creating a synthesized image by synthesizing a scout image in a predetermined region of a slice image, the slice image and the scout image being stored in the image management apparatus, and the scout image specifying a cross-section position of the slice image.

A dynamic image processing device including: a receiver configured to receive order information of dynamic image photography; an acquirer configured to acquire a dynamic image that is obtained by performing the dynamic image photography; and a hardware processor configured to select a scattered radiation component removal process to be used in the dynamic image, based on the order information.

An X-ray diagnosis apparatus includes an X-ray limiter having four diaphragm blades and a console on which four physical operating units that correspond to the four diaphragm blades are placed at four positions. When viewed from the side of the operator of the console, the four operating units are placed on the far side, the near side, the left side, and the right side. The far-side operating unit, the near-side operating unit, the left-side operating unit, and the right-side operating unit correspond to the upper diaphragm blade, the lower diaphragm blade, the left-side diaphragm blade, and the right-side diaphragm blade, respectively, with reference to an X-ray image displayed in a display.

This disclosure relates to an intraoperative guidance system for total joint replacement of a joint of a patient by a surgeon. The guidance system comprises: an X-ray imaging device for single-shot application of X-ray radiation to the joint and for etecting X-ray radiation to create a digital image of the joint and an implant component during a total joint replacement surgery; and a computer system configured to: store a digital three-dimensional model of the joint; receive the digital image during the total joint replacement surgery; perform registration between the digital image and the digital three-dimensional model to determine a placement of the implant component in the digital image in relation to the digital three-dimensional model; determine an intraoperative simulated erformance metric and provide an indication to the surgeon of the intraoperative simulated performance metric as an assessment of a current placement of the implant component.

This disclosure relates to an intraoperative localisation system for total joint replacement of a joint of a patient by a surgeon, the joint being associated with a bone. The localisation system comprises: an X-ray imaging device to create a digital X-ray image of the joint and a localisation object during a total joint replacement surgery; a computer system configured to: store a surgical plan comprising a digital three-dimensional model; receive the digital X-ray image of the joint and the localisation object during the total joint replacement surgery; determine a pose of the localisation object relative to the bone or the joint, based on the digital X-ray image; assess the pose of the localisation object against the surgical plan; and provide an indication of a clinical consequence of the pose in relation to the surgical plan to the surgeon.
