Abstract:
An object to allow an automatic discrimination between a super enlarged image and a non-enlarged image in a computer diagnosis assistance system that analyzes a state of an epithelium using an image analysis. An image analyzing device according to this disclosure is the image analyzing device to be connected to an endoscope, and includes a target image determination unit that obtains an image from the endoscope and determines whether or not the image is a target image using a halation region included in the image, and an image analyzing unit that analyzes a state of an epithelium, captured by the endoscope, using the target image when the image is the target image.

Abstract:
A detection method of detecting CTCs as target cells contained in a test sample, the method includes a concentration step of concentrating the target cells contained in the test sample, a labeling step of labeling the target cells and other components by bringing the concentrated test sample into contact with first labeling antibodies in which antibodies specifically binding to antigens, which exclude antigens expressing in epithelial cells and specifically express in the target cells, are labeled by a first labeling substance, and into contact with second labeling antibodies in which antibodies binding to antigens expressing in the other components excluding the target cells are labeled by a second labeling substance, and a detection step of detecting, from the test sample, cells that are labeled by the first labeling antibodies and are not labeled by the second labeling antibodies as the target cells.
Abstract:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores therein an examination assisting program that causes a computer to execute a process including: performing a site detecting process that uses an object detection technique on each of a plurality of ultrasound examination images taken of an examined subject by performing a scan on the examined subject; and displaying a site detection map in which a detection result of each of a plurality of sites included in the examined subject is kept in correspondence with the scan, on a basis of detection results from the site detecting process.
Abstract:
This biometric information detection device includes: a sensor including a light emitting element that is able to emit light and a light receiving element that is able to receive the light emitted from the light emitting element; a sealing member which includes a first light-transmitting part that covers the light emitting element and is able to transmit the light and a second light-transmitting part that covers the light receiving element and is able to transmit the light, and seals the sensor; and a holding member that is attached to at least one of the teeth and the gums and is able to hold the sealing member.
Abstract:
Provided is a dental ultrasonic cleaning device that efficiently cleans teeth or dentures in an oral cavity using ultrasonic waves. A dental ultrasonic cleaning device 1 emits ultrasonic waves through a cleaning-liquid (W1) to the surface of a cleaning-target 26, ultrasonically cleaning it. An ultrasonic born 24 propagates ultrasonic waves being generated by an ultrasonic-wave transducer 23 and emits them from the vibratory surface 25 provided at the tip-end of the horn 24. A liquid-reserving part 27 is provided, surrounding the vibratory surface 25 of the ultrasonic horn 24, which temporarily reserves the cleaning-liquid (W1) between the vibratory surface 25 and the cleaning-target 26. A cap-member 33 is provided at a certain interval opposite the liquid-reserving part 27. A cleaning-liquid discharge-tube inlet 35 is connected to a vacuum tube 36 within the cap-member 33, allowing the cleaning-liquid W1 used during the ultrasonic cleaning to be vacuumed from the oral cavity, into the cap-member 33, and then discharged through the vacuum tube 36.

Abstract:
[Problem]To provide an apparatus for measuring a sensory threshold at the time of application of a moving stimulus to a sole simply with high reproducibility and evaluating peripheral neuropathy originating in diabetes.[Solution]Provided are a foot pedestal 2, a probe 4 for applying a moving stimulus to a sole, and a probe driving structure 3, disposed on a base 1, for operating the probe 4 to separately move in directions intersecting at right angles along the sole. Also provided are an input switch 5 to be operated by a subject recognizing a moving stimulus, a drive controller 51 for controlling drive condition of the probe driving structure 3, and a main controller B for evaluating a measured sensory threshold. The main controller B preliminarily stores reference data of known sensory thresholds obtained by applying a moving stimulus to a sole of patients, and age correction factors calculated from standard values of sensory thresholds based on different ages of patients. The drive controller 51 controls drive condition of the probe driving structure 3 by using the reference data and the age correction factors to conduct a primary stimulus applying condition. Further, a secondary stimulus applying condition, and a tertiary stimulus applying condition are sequentially conducted to measure a sensory threshold.
