Abstract: An image forming system includes an image former, a detector, and a first reader. The image former forms an image on a recording medium. The detector is provided upstream of the image former in a conveyance direction of the recording medium, and detects a physical property of the recording medium. The first reader is provided downstream of the image former in the conveyance direction of the recording medium, and reads the recording medium. The first reader is controlled based on a detection result of the detector, and the detector is controlled based on a reading result of the first reader.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A quantification method in the present invention is a quantification method for quantifying three or more kinds of quantification-target substances contained in a plurality of samples collected from one specimen, and includes a quantification step of quantifying the three or more kinds of quantification-target substances in each of the plurality of samples on the basis of a detection value derived from a first labeling substance that labels a reference substance commonly contained in the plurality of samples. In the present invention, three or more kinds of observation-target substances can be observed or quantified without requiring many kinds of labeling substances even when staining conditions are different from each other. That is, the observation-target substances (a reference substance and quantification-target substances other than the reference substance) can be each observed or quantified using a smaller number of kinds of labeling substances than the number of kinds of the observation-target substances.

Abstract: A dynamic image processing apparatus processes image data of a medical dynamic image that includes a plurality of frame images obtained from successively imaging a subject and that shows a dynamic state of the subject. The dynamic image processing apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor enhances resolution of at least one or more of the plurality of frame images included in the medical dynamic image to a high resolution and generates a secondary medical image. The hardware processor executes a recording process in which a record is kept to show that the secondary medical image is generated secondarily from the existing medical dynamic image.
