Research and Development

This system analyzes the medical image acquired from a digital image apparatus such as REGIUS Series and automatically determines the image processing conditions, thereby providing a processed image best suited to the clinical diagnosis.

Optimization of diagnostic images depends on a great variety of image processing techniques such as processing of feature extraction based on morphology computation, image recognition based on statistical pattern recognition, and image enhancement based on a signal analysis technique such as a filter bank. We improve the diagnostic performance through the high-quality digital medical image based on the state-of-the-art technology, and make a significant contribution to the present-day medical treatment.

Products based on this technology

• REGIUS Series

We are developing a cutting-edge image recognition technology whereby a computer analyzes the abundant information of an x-ray image to provide the added value that assists radiologists' diagnosis. Advanced pattern recognition methods and related discriminators are utilized to automatically detect shadows suggesting possible lesions from an image. For example, this system will assist a radiologist in the diagnosis of breast cancer by mammography, thereby aids the early detection.
