Abstract: An endoscope system comprises an image acquisition unit, a discrimination processing unit, and a discrimination processing control unit. The image acquisition unit acquires an endoscope image obtained by imaging an observation target using an endoscope. The discrimination processing unit discriminates a portion having a specific feature in the observation target by performing discrimination processing, using an endoscope image. The discrimination processing control unit controls a start or an end of the discrimination processing on the basis of a change in operation of an endoscope or the endoscope image.

Abstract: A correction image fluctuation amount obtained in a calibration mode and a measurement image fluctuation amount obtained in a measurement mode are compared with each other. On the basis of the comparison result, a temporary correction value, which satisfies a specific condition among temporary correction values stored in the correction value storage unit, is determined as a measurement correction value to be used for correction in a correcting unit.

Abstract: There are provided an acoustic wave image generating apparatus and a control method thereof for making an insertion needle clear. A first ultrasound image is generated using ultrasound echo signals obtained from a first plurality of ultrasound transducers. From the first ultrasound image, an evaluation value indicating the discontinuity of a needle is calculated for an image of an insertion needle. In a case where the calculated evaluation value is less than a threshold value, a second ultrasound image is generated using ultrasound echo signals obtained from a second plurality of ultrasound transducers whose number is larger than the first plurality. The first ultrasound image is displayed if the evaluation value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, and the second ultrasound image is displayed if the evaluation value is less than the threshold value.

Abstract: In this ultrasound diagnostic device and ultrasound diagnostic image data processing method, an element data determination unit compares a pre-set threshold value with the average value of the amplitude values in the element direction of the element data calculated by an average value calculation unit in the element direction, and an RF data calculation unit performs a process in which the element data of which the absolute value of the amplitude value is the maximum is adopted as the RF data without phasing addition when the average value (Aa) is greater than the threshold value. Meanwhile, when the average value (Ab) is equal to or lower than the threshold value, the RF data calculation unit performs a process in which the average values of all the amplitude values in the element direction of the element data are adopted as the RF data without phasing addition.
