    摘要: A system and method is provided for enhancing a region of interest in a medical image to improve its visibility. A region of interest is first identified in the medical image, such as identifying a breast region in a mammography image. The identified region of interest is then enhanced using an image processing technique, for example by adjusting the intensity or contrast, or by performing edge enhancement. Other regions of the medical image outside the region of interest remain unaltered, or may be diminished, such that the clarity of the region of interest is improved in comparison with the other regions of the medical image. A user viewing the enhanced image is less distracted by the non-enhanced regions and is not required to adjust the image on his or her own. The user can more quickly and effectively review the medical image to identify abnormalities and diagnose disease.

    摘要: A capsule endoscope is disclosed that includes means for illuminating an object, means for imaging the object, and a transparent cover having a center of curvature. The transparent cover covers the illumination means and the imaging means, and the imaging means includes an objective optical system and an image detecting element. The illumination means is positioned relative to the image detecting element, as viewed axially from the object side of the capsule endoscope, so that an area that is symmetrically positioned about the optical axis of the objective optical system from a light emitting area of the illumination means overlaps an area of the image detecting element, but does not overlap any areas of the image detecting element that are used for image detection.

    摘要: An endoscope system is disclosed for detecting fluorescent light emitted in the near-infrared region by a plurality of fluorescent labeling materials introduced into a living tissue. An illumination system generates illumination light in the wavelength range 600 nm-2000 nm which serves as excitation light for the plurality of fluorescent labeling materials, and a detection system that can separately detect different ones of the plurality of fluorescent light emissions that are emitted at different wavelengths from among the plurality of fluorescent labeling materials is provided. The endoscope system may include a conventional-type endoscope having an insertion section, or a capsule endoscope that wirelessly transmits image data. By superimposing the image data obtained using reflected light in the visible region and fluorescent light emitted by the fluorescent labeling materials, improved diagnostic capabilities are provided.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and program for implementing the method is provided for performing efficient and stable comparative image observation in which a plurality of digital images inputted for comparative observation is switched and displayed on the screen of a display means. Brightness adjusting process for the plurality of images inputted for comparative observation, and aligning process for the structures of the subjects among the images are performed by the image processing means. Display control is implemented by the display control means such that each of the images is repeatedly switched and displayed on the screen of the display means at a favorable frame rate for comparative observation in the range from 1 to 5 fps based on the processed image data files.

    摘要: In a folding rotary portable terminal, a first case having a display section for at least displaying information and side face keys and are coupled to a second case having at least a camera section and side face keys and through a hinge part having at least two degrees of freedom in rotation, namely open/close and orthogonal directions. When the first case is rotated by 180° about the rotary shaft of the hinge part from an opened state of the first case and the second case to a folding state where the first case is superposed on the second case with the display section directed outward, the side face keys on the different side faces of the first case and the second case come to the same side. Thus, even in the folding state, various functions can be operated easily.
