Modality and Service
Iterative processing utilizing AI technology to enhance visibility for low dose CT images
The technology controls image quality based on a statistical model, an object model and a physical model using iterative processing.
This technology provides a high visibility image even at a low radiation dose , by maintaining the original texture of the image at a high denoise condition.
It brings both “high visibility at low dose” and “original texture at high noise reduction”

Pancreas analysis
Automatically extracts the pancreas, each surrounding organ area, and surrounding vessels from contrast-enhanced CT images and analyzes them in 3D.
The pancreatic duct diameter, residual pancreatic volume, measurement of the cross-sectional area, and resection simulation can be performed to support pancreatic surgery.

Kidney segmentation
AI technology to extract each kidney and surrounding vessels from CT or MRI images assists volume calculation of renal and compare current and past results.
This technology can also precisely extract cystic kidneys, a genetic disease that is often difficult to extract due to the diversity of shapes, and assist diagnosis and treatment.

Lung analysis
AI technology to automatically extract lung fields, 5 lobes, and bronchus, surrounding vessels from CT images.
From each extraction result, the percentage of low attenuation area is calculated.
These are expected to contribute the diagnosis of COPD.

Interstitial lung disease classification
This technology identifies various findings of interstitial pneumonia that appear on CT images, such as consolidation, reticular pattern, ground glass opacity and honeycomb, and calculates their distribution and volume.
This will assist in the diagnosis of the severity and therapeutic efficacy of interstitial pneumonia, which are conventionally performed qualitatively, by providing a quantitative value for assessment.

Highlighting areas of higher or lower signals by comparing left/right head CT images
This technology extracts high-signal and low-signal areas in head CT images by comparing the left and right sides of the brain region. Generally, high-signal and low-signal areas are used to evaluate the state of hemorrhage and ischemia in the brain for stroke diagnosis. This will assist the diagnosis of head CT imaging.
Detection/DiagnosisCTITRadiologyNeurology
Highlighting areas of higher or lower absorption than the surrounding tissue
The technology to extract and highlight areas of higher or lower absorption than the surrounding tissue. For example, high/low absorption in the liver, high absorption in the thoracic cavity, and low absorption in the kidney may be informative in determining the findings of each part. In the future, we aim to highlight both contrast-enhanced and non-contrast-enhanced images.

Liver characterization analysis
The technology analyzes the properties of areas of interest in the liver and assists doctors in writing radiology report. It is possible to analyze not only the location and size, but also the appearance/disappearance of enhancement based on multi-phase images of contrast-enhanced CT. In addition, similar to lung nodule characterization analysis, it is also possible to present multiple finding sentence candidates using natural language processing technology.
