Abstract

A medical information processing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute bone segmentation of an image and to acquire first data, execute, based on the first data, organ segmentation of the image, and acquire second data.

Claims (29)

1 . A medical information processing device comprising a processor configured to:

execute bone segmentation of an image and to acquire first data; and

execute, based on the first data, organ segmentation of the image and to acquire second data.

2 . The medical information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to acquire, from information on a segmented bone in the first data, information on an organ existing around the bone based on a type of the bone, and to acquire information on the segmented organ as the second data.

3 . The medical information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor is configured to set a first region of interest based on a size of the bone in the first data, to acquire the information on the organ in the first region of interest based on a dictionary, and to generate the second data.

4 . The medical information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to select a dictionary from the plurality of dictionaries according to a type of the organ, to set a size of the first region of interest based on the selected dictionary, and to acquire information on segmentation from the information on the bone included in the first data using the selected dictionary.

5 . The medical information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is further configured to set a second region of interest for the information on the organ acquired based on the first region of interest, and to further acquire information on another organ.

6 . The medical information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

the processor is configured to set the second region of interest as a region of interest related to the other organ whose positional relationship with the organ is graspable.

7 . The medical information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is further configured to set a second region of interest for the information on the organ acquired based on the first region of interest, and to further acquire information on an inside of the organ.

8 . The medical information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a display configured to display and output information, wherein the display is configured to display:

information on a segmented bone in the first data acquired by the processor; and

a candidate region of an organ acquired by the second extraction unit based on the first data.

9 . The medical information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the processor is further configured to receive a request from a user, the processor receives the request from the user with respect to the candidate region of the organ displayed on the display unit, and executes segmentation of the organ based on the request received by the input unit.

10 . The medical information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to estimate sex or age based on a result of the bone segmentation, to determine whether an abnormality has occurred based on a result of the organ segmentation, and to specify and output a position of the abnormality when the abnormality has occurred.

11 . A medical information processing method comprising:

executing, by a processor, bone segmentation of an image to acquire first data; and

executing, by the processor, organ segmentation of the image based on the first data to acquire second data.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having a program stored therein and configured to cause a processing circuit to execute:

bone segmentation of an image and acquiring first data; and

organ segmentation of the image based on the first data and acquiring second data.
