    摘要: The medical image processing device comprises a detection part, a storage part, an image generation part, and a display-control part. The detection part detects positions and directions of an endoscope. The storage part stores medical image data showing tubular tissues generated by a medical imaging device different from the endoscope. The image generation part generates virtual endoscopic image data showing the internal portion of the tubular tissues based on the medical image data having a position that is a predetermined distance away from the position of the endoscope as a viewpoint. The display-control part receives endoscopic image data showing the internal portion of the tubular tissues generated by the endoscope and displays an endoscopic image based on the endoscopic image data and a virtual endoscopic image based on the virtual endoscopic image data on a display part.

    摘要: A differential-image creating unit creates a three-dimensional image on which an artery is highlighted and a three-dimensional image on which a tumor is highlighted. An image compositing unit combines the three-dimensional images to composite an image. A display control unit displays the composite image on a monitor. Moreover, when compositing an image, the image compositing unit composites the image such that a tumor nutrient blood-flow inside and outside tumor is to be displayed in respective different colors. Furthermore, a blood-flow quantity inside tumor measuring unit calculates a blood-flow quantity inside tumor and a ratio of the blood-flow quantity inside tumor to a tumor volume, and the display control unit displays the blood-flow quantity inside tumor and the ratio of the blood-flow quantity inside tumor to the tumor volume. Accordingly, information that is meaningful for determining malignancy of a tumor can be provided.

    摘要: A method to null a phase relevant to a high-order moment and minimize an echo time TE when a GMN or flow-encoding gradient pulse is employed. The first to n-th trapezoidal-wave pulses of which polarities are alternately mutually opposite are applied as a gradient pulse. The amplitude g and pulse duration t of the first trapezoidal-wave pulse, and the slope k of pulses of the first trapezoidal-wave pulse are given as initial values. Parameters including a plurality of known pulse duration coefficients b.sub.1, b.sub.2, etc. determining pulse durations b.sub.1.t, b.sub.2.t, etc. of the first to n-th trapezoidal-wave pulses, and unknown magnetic field gradient strength coefficients a.sub.1, a.sub.2, etc. determining amplitudes a.sub.1.g, a.sub.2.g, etc. of the second and subsequent trapezoidal-wave pulses are given. Expressions concerning phases of nuclear spins producing an MR signal are solved analytically so that the values of terms of phases relevant to moments in the expressions can be controlled to be desired values or nulled according to the purpose of use of the gradient pulse. A combination of the coefficients b.sub.1, b.sub.2, etc. satisfying the results of the analysis, in which the coefficient b.sub.3 for a pulse interval defining the pulse spacing of the n-th trapezoidal-wave pulse has the smallest value, is selected.
