An imaging apparatus including a light source is provided. The imaging apparatus includes a light-emitting device and a photoelectric conversion device in a pixel, and a pixel circuit has a function of outputting third data generated by multiplying obtained first data by second data (weight). Calculating the third data externally enables more detailed information on a subject with respect to a specific wavelength to be obtained. In addition, reading out collectively a plurality of pixels to which proper weight is given enables output of difference data between pixels and the like, which allows external calculation to be omitted.

A photoacoustic image evaluation apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire a first photoacoustic image generated at a first point in time and a second photoacoustic image generated at a second point in time before the first point in time, the first and second photoacoustic images being photoacoustic images generated by detecting photoacoustic waves generated inside a subject, who has been subjected to blood vessel regeneration treatment, by emission of light into the subject; acquire a blood vessel regeneration index, which indicates a state of a blood vessel by the regeneration treatment, based on a difference between a blood vessel included in the first photoacoustic image and a blood vessel included in the second photoacoustic image; and display the blood vessel regeneration index on a display.

An image processing method performed by a processor and including: a step of acquiring a choroidal vascular image; a step of detecting a vortex vein position from the choroidal vascular image; a step of identifying a choroidal vessel related to the vortex vein position; and a step of finding a size of the choroidal vessel.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: estimate, based on image information from a medical device that includes at least an endoscope, a plurality of procedure actions of an operator of the endoscope; perform different supports respectively for procedures by the operator, according to an estimation result of the procedure actions; and output a display for the supports to a display.

An information processing system includes a vehicle, and a server communicable with the vehicle. The vehicle includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire first vital information on a user who boards the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to transmit to the server the first vital information on the user acquired with the first acquisition unit. The server is configured to prestore first vital information and settlement information on a registered user, determine whether or not the user is the registered user based on the first vital information on the user received from the vehicle and the first vital information on the registered user, and execute, when determining that the user is the registered user, a settlement process based on the settlement information on the registered user.

The present disclosure relates to a device for contactless optical imaging of features of a hand, wherein the device comprises an illumination arrangement for illuminating a measuring site with light of substantially a first wavelength and with light of at least substantially a second wavelength. The device further comprising a camera comprising a detector and objective configured for imaging the measuring site on the detector. Within the measuring site a region of depth of field of the objective with respect to the first wavelength overlaps with a region of depth of field of the objective with respect to the second wavelength.

Systems and methods are provided for automated identification of vascular pathology in computed tomography images. A region of interest in a chest of a patient is imaged via a computed tomography scanner to provide an image. The region of interest includes at least one of the ascending aorta, the central pulmonary artery, the left and right pulmonary arteries, the lobar arteries extending from the left and right pulmonary arteries, the aortic arch, and the descending aorta of the patient. For each of a plurality of locations within the region of interest, a value representing a variation in radiodensity values for voxels within the location is determined from the image to provide a set of variation values. At a derived model, a parameter representing vascular pathology within the patient is determined from the set of variation values and provided to a user at an associated output device.
