    Abstract: Provided is a technique for automatically extracting a cross section with a high degree of precision and at high speed, with avoiding problems of operator dependence and imaging target dependence, from 3D volume data or temporally sequential 2D or 3D images or 3D volume data, acquired by a medical imaging device, when determining the cross section used for diagnosis and measurement. An image processor of an imaging device is provided with a cross section extractor for extracting a specified cross section from imaged data. The cross section extractor determines the specified cross section by using a learning model trained in advance to output discrimination scores for a plurality of cross sectional image data, the discrimination score representing spatial or temporal proximity to the specified cross section. The learning model is a downsized model obtained by integrating a highly trained model having a large number of layers, with an untrained model having less number of layers, followed by retraining.

    Abstract: A temporal change at each coordinate of interest which is spatially fixed in frame data of a plurality of time phases obtained by transmitting and receiving ultrasound is made understandable. A trace processor derives an amount of temporal change at each coordinate of interest of a plurality of coordinates of interest which are spatially fixed in the frame data over a plurality of time phases. The trace processor also derives an amount of spatial movement of each site of interest based on the amount of temporal change of each coordinate of interest near each site of interest. Further, the trace processor derives an amount of spatial movement of each site of interest for each time phase over a plurality of time phases in a trace period, and traces a motion of each site of interest in the trace period based on the amount of movement derived for each time phase.

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to use multiresolution decomposition to reduce image sections, such as fogging and stationary artifacts, which appear in an ultrasound image. An image processing unit (20) performs resolution conversion processing on an ultrasound image obtained on the basis of a reception signal, to form a plurality of resolution images having mutually different resolutions, determines, on the basis of the plurality of resolution images, a reduction degree for each section in the image, and forms an ultrasound image in which reduction processing has been performed on each section in the image in accordance with the reduction degrees.

    Abstract: A region of interest setting unit sets a region of interest within image data for a tomographic image. The region of interest setting unit sets the region of interest to the heart of an embryo and partitions the region of interest into a plurality of blocks. A waveform generating unit generates an embryonic heartbeat waveform for each block of the plurality of blocks within the region of interest on the basis of the image data within the block. A waveform evaluating unit uses a standard waveform to evaluate the reliability of the embryonic heartbeat waveform for each block of the plurality of blocks within the region of interest.

    Abstract: An ultrasonography generation device includes an ultrasonic wave transceiver (1002), a user inputter (1006) which inputs input by an operator, a monitor (1011) capable of displaying an image, an image processor (1005) which generates tomographic image data of a fetus and the placenta based on signals acquired from the ultrasonic wave transceiver and sets a region of interest including a region between the fetus and the placenta according to the input from the inputter when the tomographic image data is displayed on the display, a 3D-ROI corrector (1008) which corrects the region of interest using the region of interest set by the operator and the tomographic image data and determines validity of the corrected region of interest, and a presentation part (1012) which presents the determination result from 3D-ROI corrector. The ultrasonography generation device generates a 3D image of the fetus using the corrected region of interest.
