Abstract

According one embodiment, a data generation apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain an operation instruction based on a user operation on an image diagnostic apparatus or an image diagnostic apparatus simulator. The processing circuitry is configured to convert the operation instruction into an internal instruction relating to hardware control of the image diagnostic apparatus or the image diagnostic apparatus simulator from which the operation instruction has been obtained. The processing circuitry is configured to generate simulation data by executing a physical simulation using the internal instruction.

Claims (38)

1 . A data generation apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

obtain an operation instruction based on a user operation on an image diagnostic apparatus or an image diagnostic apparatus simulator;

convert the operation instruction into an internal instruction relating to hardware control of the image diagnostic apparatus or the image diagnostic apparatus simulator from which the operation instruction has been obtained; and

6 . The data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to convert a log file relating to inspection information of the image diagnostic apparatus into the internal instruction.

7 . The data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to obtain, from a log file relating to a hardware instruction for operating hardware in the image diagnostic apparatus, the hardware instruction as the internal instruction.

8 . The data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to execute the physical simulation by directly obtaining, from the image diagnostic apparatus, a hardware instruction for operating hardware in the image diagnostic apparatus as the internal instruction.

9 . The data generation apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to:

generate a trained model by training a model using the simulation data as training data.

10 . A data generation method comprising:

obtaining an operation instruction based on a user operation on an image diagnostic apparatus or an image diagnostic apparatus simulator;

converting the operation instruction into an internal instruction relating to hardware control of the image diagnostic apparatus or the image diagnostic apparatus simulator from which the operation instruction has been obtained; and

generating simulation data by executing a simulation relating to data acquisition using the internal instruction.

11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

obtaining an operation instruction based on a user operation on an image diagnostic apparatus or an image diagnostic apparatus simulator;

converting the operation instruction into an internal instruction relating to hardware control of the image diagnostic apparatus or the image diagnostic apparatus simulator from which the operation instruction has been obtained; and

generating simulation data by executing a simulation relating to data acquisition using the internal instruction.

12 . A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus on which a simulator is installed, comprising:
