Patent Images
1. An image diagnosis supporting device comprising:
- digitizing means for applying predetermined image processing to a medical image and generating a multi-valued image;
extracting means for executing at least one decision making processing routine on said multi-valued image generated by said digitizing means and extracting an abnormal candidate shadow;
display means for displaying in said medical image said abnormal candidate shadow extracted by said extracting means so that it is easily identifiable;
means for fixing a display position of the abnormal candidate shadow extracted by said extracting means on a predetermined area of a display screen of said display means; and
control-display means for shifting a display position of said medical image so that said abnormal candidate shadow is displayed on the predetermined area of the display screen of said display means, fixed by said fixing means, and control-displaying the medical image including said abnormal candidate shadow.

10. An image diagnosis supporting device comprising:
-
digitizing means for applying predetermined image processing to a medical image and generating a multi-valued image; extracting means for executing at least one decision making processing routine on said multi-valued image generated by said digitizing means and extracting an abnormal candidate shadow; display means for displaying in said medical image said abnormal candidate shadow extracted by said extracting means so that it is easily identifiable; means for detecting a display position of an abnormal candidate shadow immediately following the medical image that is currently displayed when said medical images are sequentially displayed on said display means while changing a slice position at which said medical images are adjacent to each other; and control-display means for control-displaying on said display means information of the display position of the abnormal candidate shadow detected by said detection means and said medical image that is currently displayed. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An image diagnosis supporting device comprising:
-
digitizing means for applying predetermined image processing to a medical image and generating a multi-valued image; extracting means for executing at least one decision making processing-routine on said multi-valued image generated by said digitizing means and extracting an abnormal candidate shadow; display means for displaying in said medical image said abnormal candidate shadow extracted by said extracting means so that it is easily identifiable; means for designating a display area in said medical image where an abnormal candidate shadow existed after sequentially displaying said medical images on said display means while changing a slice position at which said medical images are adjacent each other; means for retrieving a medical image of which the display area is identical in position to the display area designated by said designating means, of said sequentially displayed medical images; and control-display means for control-displaying on said display means a medical image including the abnormal candidate shadow retrieved by said retrieving means. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An image diagnosis supporting device comprising:
-
digitizing means for applying predetermined image processing to a medical image and generating a multi-valued image; extracting means for executing at least one decision making processing routine on said multi-valued image generated by said digitizing means and extracting an abnormal candidate shadow; display means for displaying in said medical image said abnormal candidate shadow extracted by said extracting means so that it is easily identifiable; means for reading medical images immediately following and immediately preceding the medical image that is currently displayed when said medical images are sequentially displayed on said display means while changing a slice position at which said medical images are adjacent to each other; and control-display means for control-displaying the immediately following and immediately preceding medical images read by said reading means on display areas of said display means adjacent to said image that is currently displayed. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
