Abstract

A medical image diagnostic apparatus of embodiments includes an acquisition unit and a processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion. The processing unit is configured to output bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion by inputting the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion acquired by the acquisition unit to a trained model which is configured to output bed position information on the basis of physical characteristics data and information about a imaging target portion.

Claims (18)

1. A medical image diagnostic apparatus comprising a processing circuitry configured to:

acquire physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion; and

output bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion by inputting the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion to a trained model which is configured to output bed position information on the basis of the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion.

2. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bed position information includes a height of a top board of a bed with respect to a reference position.

3. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to select one or more trained models from a plurality of trained models on the basis of precaution information of the examination subject and output the bed position information by inputting the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion to the selected one or more trained models.

4. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the precaution information includes information which becomes an artifact factor imaged in an image captured by the apparatus.

5. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the information which becomes the artifact factor is information on inflation with respect to an imaging target portion.

6. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to generate the trained model by performing machine learning using the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion as learning data and using the bed position information set for the same examination subject as teacher data.

7. A medical image diagnosis method, using a computer, comprising:

acquiring physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion; and

outputting bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion by inputting the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion to a trained model which is configured to output bed position information on the basis of physical characteristics data and information about a imaging target portion.

8. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to:

acquire physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion; and

output bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion by inputting the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion to a trained model which is configured to output bed position information on the basis of physical characteristics data and information about a imaging target portion.

9. A medical image diagnostic apparatus comprising a processing circuitry configured to:

acquire physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion; and

output relative position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion by inputting the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion to a trained model which is configured to output relative position information of the medical image diagnostic apparatus and the examination subject during scanning on the basis of the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion.

10. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the relative position information includes at least position information of the examination subject and a detector of the medical image diagnostic apparatus.
