Application: Medical image processing device, medical image processing method, and program (Patent ID: US20240193777A1)

The patent filed by Fujifilm Holdings Corp. describes a medical image processing device, method, and program that can estimate temporal information in an image, particularly in cases where using attached information is challenging. The device includes processors and memory storing a program to receive contrast images and estimate the elapsed period from the start of contrast agent injection based on image analysis. The device can determine the contrast state of the image and receive various types of images for processing, estimating the elapsed period using a trained regression model.

Furthermore, the device can receive multiple images from the same series, estimate elapsed periods for each, and integrate them to determine the overall elapsed period. This integration involves estimating values and certainties, converting them into probability distributions, and ultimately specifying a final estimated value. The patent also details the use of different probability distribution models such as Laplace or Gaussian distributions, as well as logarithmic conversions to optimize the estimation process. Additionally, the regression model used in the device involves machine learning and convolutional neural networks for accurate estimation. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method and system for estimating temporal information in medical images, even without direct image-attached information.
