A compression plate includes a wall surface portion facing a chest wall of an examinee and a bottom surface portion connected to the wall surface portion, and at least a part of the wall surface portion is a low rigidity portion that extends from the bottom surface portion. The low rigidity portion has a lower rigidity than other portions of the compression plate.

Provided are a medical image diagnostic system that allows a user to easily and accurately examine a mammary gland region of a subject while preventing the subject from confirming a detailed shape of the mammary gland region, and a method of controlling the medical image diagnostic system. The medical image diagnostic system includes: a compression plate that compresses a breast of a subject; an ultrasound probe; a mammary gland region detection unit that detects a mammary gland region in a radiation image of the breast compressed by the compression plate; a low-resolution image generation unit that generates a low-resolution image obtained by reducing a resolution of the mammary gland region detected by the mammary gland region detection unit; and an image drawing unit that draws the low-resolution image generated by the low-resolution image generation unit on the compression plate, in which the mammary gland region of the breast compressed by the compression plate is scanned with the ultrasound probe based on the low-resolution image drawn on the compression plate.

A dynamic headset system is provided. The dynamic headset system includes a head cradle configured to receive a head of a subject and having a bottom surface configured to face a platform on which the dynamic headset apparatus is placed. The dynamic headset system further includes a device including an instrument adjacent to the head of the subject when the head of the subject is in the head cradle.

A puncture assistance system provides information on a collapse state of a blood vessel to be punctured, caused by pressing action of an ultrasonic probe, when ultrasonic images of the blood vessel are acquired. A puncture assistance system 10 includes: vascular diameter detecting means 18 for detecting a vascular diameter during acquisition of the ultrasonic images from an ultrasonic diagnostic device 11; puncture assistance information generating means 12 for generating puncture assistance information for determination of whether or not puncture is allowed to be performed based on a collapse state of a blood vessel B caused by pressing action of an ultrasonic probe 15 against skin S by comparing a current vascular diameter detected by the vascular diameter detecting means 18 with a standard vascular diameter stored in advance; and a monitor 19 that presents the puncture assistance information.

In the present invention, an image review method and system for performing the method is provided to facilitate the review of image volumes obtained in different imaging modalities and to evaluate the correlation between findings in the respective volumes in an easy to review manner compared with prior art systems and processes. The method and system of the invention provides simulated or actual combined or fused images or representations of registered images obtained in each imaging modality to simplify and accelerate the review of multi-modal breast imaging volumes, in particular when correlation of information between the two modes, including but not limited to, LE and DE, DBT and ABUS, DE and ABUS, etc., is important to evaluate.
摘要:
A robust algorithm is disclosed for real-time strain imaging. The method can be implemented on conventional medical imaging modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, etc. The pre- and post-deformation images, acquired by an imaging system, are used by the algorithm to produce the strain map. Deformation can be performed by any available means, such as an existing part of the imaging device (as in freehand elastography) or a separate compression fixture. Due to the computational efficiency of the algorithm, any conventional processing platform, including personal computers, tablet PCs, and smart phones can be employed for strain imaging, to construct an ultra-portable strain imaging system.
摘要:
Systems and methods for the retention and stabilization of anatomy for ultrasound imaging are described. A system can include a vessel with a flexible membrane covering an opening, a fluid pressure sensor, a pump, and a pump controller for adding and removing fluid from the vessel until an optimum fluid pressure value or range of values is achieved. A method can include identifying an optimum fluid pressure range or value for retaining a specified body part in a stable position against a flexible membrane, monitoring the pressure of fluid in a vessel having the flexible membrane covering an opening, and directing a pump to add or remove fluid until the optimum fluid pressure value or range of values is achieved.
