Abstract
Provided is an medical information processing apparatus including processing circuitry that, based on surgical situation information concerning surgical characteristics at a time of observing an interior of a living body, selects at least one of a plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range or at least one of secondary images generated from the plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range, as a recommended image.
Claims26
A medical information processing apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- select at least one of a plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range or at least one of secondary images generated from the plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range, as a recommended image for use while performing a medical procedure, based on surgical situation information concerning surgical characteristics at a time of observing an interior of a living body, wherein the plurality of biological images comprise a captured image of the living body in the visible light region;
- and
- display the recommended image and the captured image of the living body in the visible light region on a display screen,
- wherein the recommended image is a particular secondary image generated by adding a color to at least a portion of one of the plurality of biological images.
A medical information processing method comprising:
- selecting at least one of a plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range or at least one of secondary images generated from the plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range, as a recommended image for use while performing a medical procedure, based on surgical situation information concerning surgical characteristics at a time of observing an interior of a living body, wherein the plurality of biological images comprise a captured image of the living body in the visible light region;
- and
- displaying the recommended image and the captured image of the living body in the visible light region on a display screen,
- wherein the recommended image is a particular secondary image generated by adding a color to at least a portion of one of the plurality of biological images.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein a program that when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a medical information processing method, comprising:
- selecting at least one of a plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range or at least one of secondary images generated from the plurality of biological images each having a different wavelength range, as a recommended image for use while performing a medical procedure, based on surgical situation information concerning surgical characteristics at a time of observing an interior of a living body, wherein the plurality of biological images comprise a captured image of the living body in the visible light region;
- and
- displaying the recommended image and the captured image of the living body in the visible light region on a display screen,
- wherein the recommended image is a particular secondary image generated by adding a color to at least a portion of one of the plurality of biological images.
A medical observation system comprising:
- a medical observation apparatus including
- first processing circuitry configured to generate a plurality of biological images by capturing images of an interior and exterior of a living body in a plurality of wavelength ranges;
- and
- an information processing apparatus including
- second processing circuitry configured to select at least one of the plurality of biological images having different wavelength ranges or at least one of secondary images generated from the plurality of biological images, as a recommended image for performing a medical procedure, based on surgical situation information concerning surgical characteristics at a time of observing an interior of a living body, wherein the plurality of biological images comprise a captured image of the living body in the visible light region;
- and
- the second processing circuitry is configured to display the recommended image and the captured image of the living body in the visible light region on a display screen,
- wherein the recommended image is a particular secondary image generated by adding a color to at least a portion of one of the plurality of biological images.
