FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a device 100 according to an embodiment. Figure 2 is a flowchart showing a method by which the device 100 provides a report using a plurality of images according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the device 100 may include a processor 110, a receiver 120, and a display 130.

In step S210, the processor 110 may acquire a plurality of images of the oral cavity. In one embodiment, the processor 110 may acquire a plurality of images of the oral cavity from computed tomography (CT) data. Here, the CT data may be CT data acquired based on a tomography method, but is not limited thereto. For example, the CT data may be a CT volumetric image containing information about the internal space, density, and multiple cross-sections of a portion of the patient's teeth, or, for example, a DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) digital image. It could also be various types of medical images.

In one embodiment, the processor 110 may obtain a plurality of captured images by loading the patient's CT data from memory and capturing 3D images of the oral cavity visualized through the CT data from various viewpoints. Detailed information regarding this will be described later with reference to FIGS. 13 to 25. In another embodiment, the processor 110 may load a plurality of images of the oral cavity from memory, and for example, subsequent steps may be performed with a plurality of captured images prepared.

In one embodiment, different view points may correspond to CT cross-sectional images and 3D images in the coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes. Here, the coronal plane represents the anatomical plane that divides the body into the ventral and dorsal parts when the mouth is viewed from the front, the sagittal plane represents the anatomical plane that divides the body into the left and right sides when the mouth is viewed from the front, and the horizontal plane represents the horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower parts when looking at the oral cavity from above. In addition, the view point of the 3D image can be understood as a concept including the front view, side view, rear view, top view, bottom view, panoramic view, etc. of the oral cavity expressed in the 3D image.

In one embodiment, each of the plurality of images of the oral cavity may correspond to a specific category. Here, the category may include at least one of CT cross-sectional images and 3D images in the coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes. In one embodiment, each of the plurality of images may correspond to one of a plurality of categories depending on the viewpoint. For example, for the first to fourth images whose view points are CT cross-sectional images and 3D images in the coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes, respectively, the first image is a category for the coronal plane (hereinafter referred to as 'first category') '), the second image corresponds to a category for the sagittal plane (hereinafter referred to as 'the second category'), and the third image corresponds to a category for the horizontal plane (hereinafter referred to as 'the third category'). ), and the fourth image may correspond to a category for 3D (hereinafter referred to as the 'fourth category').

In step S220, the receiver 120 may obtain the first user input for the category. In one embodiment, the display 130 displays information about a category including at least one of CT cross-sectional images and 3D images in the coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes, and the receiver 120 selects one of the categories. A first user input may be received. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operation in which the device 100 obtains a first user input for a category according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, the processor 110 may provide a report editing area 310 and a thumbnail area 320. In one embodiment, the report editing area 310 is an area where a template for a report is provided, and information about images to be included in the report may be provided. For example, the report editing area 310 may be provided with category names of images that can be added to the report, an interface for adding images by category to each area, etc. Additionally, the thumbnail area 320 is an area where images that can be added to the report editing area 310 are provided, and a plurality of images of the oral cavity may be provided.

In one embodiment, the report editing area 310 may include first to fourth category areas 311 to 314, which represent areas corresponding to each of the first to fourth categories. The first to third category areas 311 to 314 may correspond to different view points. For example, the first category area 311 may correspond to the coronal plane, the second category area 312 may correspond to the sagittal plane, and the third category area 313 may correspond to the horizontal plane. According to one embodiment, the fourth category area 314 may correspond to a 3D category (eg, a category for a front view of the oral cavity reconstructed in 3D). The display 130 displays names for each of the first to fourth categories in each of the first to fourth category areas 311 to 314 (e.g., coronal CT cross-sectional image, sagittal CT cross-sectional image, horizontal CT cross-sectional image, 3D image) can be displayed. Additionally, the display 130 can display a plurality of images of the oral cavity by sorting them in the thumbnail area 320, for example, sorting and displaying them based on shooting order, category, capture order, etc. The shooting order and capture order can be determined in units of hours, minutes, and seconds.

In one embodiment, the receiver 120 may obtain a first user input for a category through the report editing area 310. For example, the receiver 120 may use a mouse over input to select the first category by placing the mouse pointer on the first category area 311 among the first to fourth category areas 311 to 314. 1 Can be received as user input.

In another embodiment, the processor 110 may obtain the first user input for the category through the thumbnail area 320. For example, a mouse input for selecting a first image whose view point is a coronal plane among a plurality of images displayed in the thumbnail area 320 may be received as a first user input for selecting the first category. In another embodiment, the processor 110 may receive a user's selection input for a category list as a first user input.

In one embodiment, the first user input is a mouse over input for positioning the mouse pointer on a specific report editing area 310, a selection input for a specific icon (e.g., +) placed within the specific report editing area 310, etc. may include. Throughout the specification, user input may broadly refer to user selection input, text input, etc. authorized using a mouse, keyboard, joystick, etc.

In step S230, the display 130 may display a corresponding image corresponding to the category determined according to the first user input from among the plurality of images. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an operation in which the device 100 displays a corresponding image corresponding to a category determined according to a first user input, according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 4, the processor 110 may determine a category according to a first user input and display a corresponding image representing an image corresponding to the category among a plurality of images. For example, when the first category area 311 of the coronal plane is selected, only images captured in the coronal plane among the plurality of images may be displayed in the thumbnail area 320.

In one embodiment, when a first user input that positions the mouse pointer on the first category area 311 is received, the category determined according to the first user input is the first category for the coronal plane, and the first category The corresponding image corresponding to is a first image whose viewpoint is the coronal plane among the plurality of images.

In another embodiment, when a first user input for selecting a second image whose view point corresponds to the sagittal plane among the plurality of images displayed in the thumbnail area 320 is received, a category determined according to the first user input is a second category for the sagittal plane, and the corresponding image corresponding to the second category is a second image whose view point corresponds to the sagittal plane among a plurality of images.

In one embodiment, display 130 may arrange corresponding images based on capture order. For example, the display 130 may sequentially arrange corresponding images in the order of latest capture time (or oldest order) and display them in the thumbnail area 320. In one embodiment, the display 130 may arrange corresponding images based on shooting order, category, importance, etc.

In one embodiment, when the first user input is a mouse over input, the display 130 may display a corresponding image while the first user input is received. For example, the display 130 displays the corresponding image corresponding to the first category in the thumbnail area 320 only while the mouse pointer is located on the first category area 311, and the second category area 312 When the location is moved to , the corresponding image corresponding to the second category can be displayed in the thumbnail area 320. Additionally, if the position of the mouse pointer deviates from the report editing area 310, the display 130 may display the entire plurality of images of the oral cavity in the thumbnail area 320 again.

In one embodiment, when the first user input is a mouse over input, the display 130 obtains the user's additional input (e.g., a click input for the corresponding category area) even if the first user input is not maintained after being received. As a result, display of the corresponding image can be maintained. For example, when the mouse pointer is positioned on the first category area 311, the display 130 displays the corresponding image corresponding to the first category in the thumbnail area 320, and displays the corresponding image corresponding to the first category in the thumbnail area 320. As a click input is applied, display of the corresponding image corresponding to the first category may be maintained in the thumbnail area 320. After a click input is applied to the first category area 311, the corresponding image corresponding to the first category may continue to be displayed in the thumbnail area 320 even if the mouse pointer leaves the first category area 311. .

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an operation of the device 100 to place a selection image determined according to a second user input, according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the processor 110 may place the selected image determined according to the second user input among the corresponding images in an area of the report editing area 310 corresponding to the category determined according to the first user input. In one embodiment, the receiver 120 may receive a second user input for selecting one or more of a plurality of corresponding images displayed in the thumbnail area 320, and the processor 110 may select one or more of the plurality of corresponding images displayed in the thumbnail area 320. One or more selected images can be added to the area corresponding to the corresponding category in the report editing area 310.

In one embodiment, the second user input may include a drag and drop input, a single selection input, a continuous selection input, etc. For example, when the processor 110 receives a drag and drop input for dragging one of the coronal images displayed in the thumbnail area 320 and dropping it to the first category area 311, the processor 110 selects the selected image. It can be added to the first category area 311 corresponding to the coronal plane. For another example, as a mouse input of continuously clicking on one of the plurality of images displayed in the thumbnail area 320 is received, the processor 110 selects the selected image into a first category corresponding to the category of the selected image. It can be added to area 311. In the same or similar manner, one or more selected images selected from corresponding images corresponding to each category may be added to each category area for the second to fourth category areas 312 to 314.

Figure 5 shows an example in which one selected image is added to each category area, but in the report editing area 310, various numbers of selected images are added to each category area according to the first and second user inputs. The area corresponding to each category may be updated.

In step S240, the processor 110 may determine a report format based on the number of selected images among corresponding images determined according to the second user input. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

Figures 6 and 7 are diagrams for explaining an operation of the device 100 determining a report format based on the number of selected images, according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 , the processor 110 may determine a report format applied to an area corresponding to one of a plurality of categories based on the number of selected images. For example, the processor 110 may determine a report format to be applied to each of a plurality of category areas according to one of a plurality of pre-stored standard report formats corresponding to the number of selected images added to each category area.

Here, the report format can be understood as a concept that includes a layout for images applied when providing a report including selected images. In one embodiment, the report format may include formats for the number of images to be arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions in each category area, image characteristics, category area size, etc. Here, image characteristics may include image size, aspect ratio, image quality, etc. In one embodiment, the report format may further include a layout for diagnostic results obtained based on images of the oral cavity in addition to the images described throughout the specification, and is not limited to the layout for the images.

For example, the report format of each category area in the report editing area 310 may be determined depending on how many selected images are dragged and dropped into each category area. As shown in Figure 6, when the number of selected images for the sagittal plane is 9, the report format for the second category enlarged area 620 can be determined as (3 x 3), and as shown in Figure 7, In the case of 6, it can be determined as (2 x 3).

The report may include areas differentiated by category. For example, the report may include an area corresponding to the sagittal plane, an area corresponding to the coronal plane, an area corresponding to the horizontal plane, and an area corresponding to 3D. In the report, the area corresponding to the sagittal plane contains the selected image for the sagittal plane, the area corresponding to the coronal plane contains the selected image for the coronal plane, and the area corresponding to the horizontal plane contains the selected image for the horizontal plane. , the area corresponding to 3D may include a selection image for 3D. Figures 6 and 7 show examples of regions corresponding to the sagittal plane. The category thumbnail area 610 is an area provided for images that can be added to the corresponding category, and a plurality of images for the corresponding category may be provided.

In step S250, the display 130 may display a report obtained based on the determined report format. The processor 110 determines the report format according to the number of selected images corresponding to each category, and the display 130 may display the report according to the determined report format. For example, if the number of selected images corresponding to the sagittal plane is 4 and the number of selected images corresponding to the other categories is 2 each, the display will display (2 x 2) in the area corresponding to the sagittal plane in the report. Selected images can be displayed in a format, and in each area corresponding to other categories, selected images can be displayed in a (2 x 1) format.

In one embodiment, processor 110 may obtain a report based on the selection order of the selected images. For example, selected images may be sequentially arranged in the first category area 311 according to the earliest or latest order in which they were added to the report editing area 310. For another example, the selected images may be sequentially arranged in the report editing area 310 of the first to fourth category areas 311 to 314 according to the order in which the selected images are added, first or second. The position of the selected image according to the selection order may follow various preset methods. For example, the selection image selected first may be located in the upper left corner, and the selection image selected last may be located in the upper left corner.

According to one embodiment, user convenience can be improved by supporting users to efficiently create reports based on diagnosis (eg, orthodontic diagnosis) and treatment plan using captured images.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an operation of the device 100 to update a selected image placed in the report editing area 310 according to an embodiment. 9 to 11 are diagrams for explaining an operation of receiving a user input requesting an update of a selected image placed in the report editing area 310.

The steps disclosed in FIG. 8 may represent operations subsequent to step S250 of FIG. 2 . Referring to FIG. 8 , in step S810, the processor 110 may receive a user input requesting an update to the selected image placed in the report editing area 310. For example, with the selection image arranged in each category area as shown in FIG. 5, the processor 110 inputs a selection for a specific category area and allows the user to modify the size, position, ratio, etc. of the selected image. Input can be received.

In step S820, the processor 110 may update at least one of the image characteristics and location of the selected image placed in the report editing area 310 according to the user input. For example, the size, aspect ratio, image quality, location, etc. of selected images placed in a specific category area can be updated according to user input. In one embodiment, user input may include drag and drop input, wheel input, selection input, etc.

Referring to FIG. 9, the processor 110 selects the selected image within the corresponding category area according to a user input requesting a position update for one of the plurality of selected images arranged in the report editing area 310. The location can be updated. For example, a selection input for a panning menu provided with the report editing area 310, a panning input for a selected image (e.g., an input where a finger is brought into contact with the touch pad and then continuously dragged without releasing the hand) ) Alternatively, depending on the drag and drop input, it can be controlled so that only some images at the user's desired location among the selected images are applied to the report editing area 310. Through this, you can achieve the effect of the image cropping function within the frame of each category area.

Referring to FIG. 10, the processor 110 selects within the corresponding category area according to a user input requesting an update of image characteristics for one of the plurality of selected images arranged in the report editing area 310. You can update the image size, aspect ratio, etc. For example, selection input for the zoom in/out menu provided with the report editing area 310, zoom in or zoom out input for the selected image (e.g., left/right after selecting the image) Alternatively, depending on the input of dragging in the up/down direction, or the input of mouse wheel up or wheel down), only some enlarged or reduced images desired by the user among the selected images can be controlled to be applied to the report editing area 310. Likewise, this allows you to achieve the effect of cropping images within the frame of each category area.

Referring to FIG. 11, the processor 110 selects each category according to a user input requesting an update of image characteristics for two or more (or all) selected images among a plurality of selected images placed in the report editing area 310. The size, aspect ratio, etc. of each selected image within the area can be updated simultaneously. In one embodiment, a selection input for a single or multiple selection images may be received in a manner such as a mouse click, or may be received through a selection menu based on a toggle method of single selection or all selection. In the case of single selection, the location and image characteristics are updated for only one image, and in the case of all selection, all images placed in the report editing area 310 can be updated simultaneously.

In step S830, the processor 110 may output a report including the report editing area 310 based on at least one of updated image characteristics and location. For example, the processor 110 generates a report including the updated report editing area 310 by applying the updated image characteristics, location, etc., and responds to user input for the file name, storage path, etc., as shown in FIG. 12. Accordingly, the report can be saved in a preset format (e.g. PDF). Additionally, the display 130 can display a report including the report editing area 310. For example, the report has the same form as the report editing area 310 shown in FIG. 9 according to the panning input described above, and the report editing area 310 shown in FIG. 10 according to the zoom-in input of the single selection described above. According to the zoom-in input of the above-described all selection, the report can be output in the same form as the report editing area 310 shown in FIG. 11. As another example, depending on the user's input, zoom-in or zoom-out may be applied to a plurality of images included in a specific category area.

As described above, the processor 110 may acquire a plurality of images of the oral cavity from CT data. For example, for a method of acquiring a plurality of images, refer to step S210 described above.

The processor 110 may acquire a plurality of images based on various methods. For example, the processor 110 may acquire a plurality of images according to a selected capture process or a multi-slice capture process.

In the first embodiment, according to the selected capture process, the processor 110 generates a plurality of images having different viewpoints with respect to a reference point and including a selected capture image for one of a plurality of group images provided together. can be obtained. For example, a case where the reference point is a position corresponding to the transpose will be described. In this case, four images (CT cross-sectional image in the coronal plane, CT cross-sectional image in the sagittal plane, CT cross-sectional image in the horizontal plane, and 3D image) corresponding to the position of the anterior teeth can be displayed together as a plurality of group images. As a user input (e.g., touch, click, etc.) is applied to the coronal CT cross-sectional image among the plurality of group images, the coronal CT cross-sectional image corresponding to the position of the anterior teeth may be saved as a selected capture image. .

In a second embodiment, the processor 110 generates a plurality of images including a multi-slice capture image for any one of sequential cross-sectional images between a first point and a second point according to a preset interval according to a multi-slice capture process. can be obtained. For example, the interval is determined to be 0.5mm according to the user input, the first point is determined to be the line corresponding to the canine on the horizontal CT cross-sectional image, and the second point is determined to be the line corresponding to the first molar on the horizontal CT cross-sectional image. If determined, the processor 110 may acquire coronal CT cross-sectional images at intervals of 0.5 mm between the line corresponding to the canine tooth and the line corresponding to the first molar. The multi-slice capture process will be described in more detail in FIGS. 20 to 22, etc., described later.

The processor 110 may selectively perform a selected capture process or a multi-slice capture process according to a user input for selecting a capture method.

Hereinafter, the first and second embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 13 to 25.

FIG. 13 illustrates a method by which the device 100 according to the first embodiment acquires a plurality of images of the oral cavity including a selected capture image according to a selected capture process. Figures 14 and 15 are diagrams for explaining an operation of the device 100 providing the first capture interface 1400 for selected capture according to the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 13, in step S1310, the processor 110 may acquire a plurality of group images with different view points with respect to the reference point. In one embodiment, the processor 110 may use one CT data to acquire a plurality of group images showing the reference point from different viewpoints. Here, the reference point represents the oral cavity or a tooth, and may correspond to, for example, a specific tooth for which diagnosis and treatment plan is required (e.g., a patient's tooth scheduled for surgery) or a predetermined feature point on a reference tooth (e.g., anterior tooth).

Referring to FIG. 14, the processor 110 may provide a first capture interface 1400 for selected capture. In one embodiment, the first capture interface 1400 includes a first capture area 1410 for capturing images in the coronal plane, a second capture area 1420 for capturing images in the sagittal plane, and a second capture area 1420 for capturing images in the horizontal plane. It may include three capture areas 1430 and a fourth capture area 1440 for 3D image capture.

Referring to FIG. 15 , the processor 110 may generate a coronal image including a reference point from CT data and provide the generated coronal image as a first group image to the first capture area 1410. The processor 110 may provide a cross-sectional image corresponding to the sagittal plane of the CT data to include a reference point as a second group image having a view point of the sagittal plane to the second capture area 1420. The processor 110 may provide a cross-sectional image corresponding to the horizontal plane of the CT data to include a reference point as a third group image having a view point of the horizontal plane to the third capture area 1430. The processor 110 may reconstruct the CT data in 3D to include a reference point, and provide a 3D reconstructed front view rendering image of the oral cavity as a fourth group image to the fourth capture area 1440.

In one embodiment, the first to fourth group images may be displayed in the first to fourth capture areas 1410 to 1440 so that the reference point is located at the center of each capture area. In one embodiment, information (e.g., name) about each view point may be displayed in an overlapping manner in each of the first to fourth capture areas 1410 to 1440.

In step S1320, the processor 110 may update the reference point based on user input (eg, wheel input, etc.). In one embodiment, the processor 110 may move the position of the reference point applied to the plurality of group images by a preset value in the direction corresponding to the view point based on the wheel input for one of the plurality of group images. . Additionally, as the reference point is updated, the processor 110 may acquire a cross-sectional image from CT data corresponding to a plurality of view points and update a plurality of group images. For example, when a reference point is updated in one group image, all group images may be updated to correspond to the updated point.

In one embodiment, when a wheel up input (or wheel down input) is received on a specific location coordinate within a group image, the processor 110 updates the reference point according to the location coordinate and determines the location to correspond to the updated reference point. You can update the group image for coordinates. Additionally, the remaining group images may be updated to correspond to the updated reference point within each capture area.

In one embodiment, processor 110 may update the angle or position for the group image based on drag and drop input. For example, the processor 110 updates the angle of the view point for the fourth group image in 3D from front to side according to the drag and drop input for the group image, or updates the angle of the view point from the front to the side within the fourth capture area 1440. The position of the group image can be updated.

In this way, the processor 110 can synchronize images acquired from different viewpoints of CT data and provide them in the form of a CT image viewer, and can also adjust the angle of the cross section and the position of the cross section.

In step S1330, the processor 110 may obtain a selected capture image for one of a plurality of group images based on a user input. In one embodiment, when a user input requesting capture of one of a plurality of group images is received, the processor 110 may store the corresponding group image as a selected capture image. In one embodiment, the user input may include a selection input for a group image, a single selection input for a group image, a continuous selection input, etc. For example, the first group image of the coronal plane may be acquired as a selected capture image through a selection input to the first capture area 1410.

In step S1340, the processor 110 may provide a flash effect to the area 1510 corresponding to the selected capture image when the selected capture image is acquired. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the first group image displayed in the first capture area 1410 is acquired as a selected capture image, the first group image corresponding to the area 1510 corresponding to the selected capture image 1 The group image can be captured while an image effect of a flash is provided in the capture area 1410. In one embodiment, the flash effect may include various patterns of image effects to visually emphasize the corresponding area.

Figure 17 is a diagram illustrating a selected capture image acquired according to the first embodiment. As mentioned above, users can adjust group images to have a view point at a desired point through wheel input, easily capture images by clicking on the desired part of the image, and capture images from any area on the screen through a flash effect. There is an advantage in being able to intuitively recognize whether has been performed.

In one embodiment, the processor 110 may store and manage the selected captured image along with the corresponding view point. For example, the processor 110 may determine the category of each selected captured image according to the view point applied when each selected captured image is acquired, and select captured images by category in the process of providing a report as described above. can provide them. Accordingly, as described above, a function of sorting only corresponding images corresponding to the category in the thumbnail area 320 according to a mouse over input for a category, a function of sorting according to capture order, etc. can be provided.

The receiver 120 may receive a message indicating that the selected capture image has been acquired, and the processor 110 performs steps S210 to S250 in FIG. 2 using a plurality of images including the selected capture image. can do.

FIG. 18 shows a method by which the device 100 according to the second embodiment acquires a plurality of images of the oral cavity including multi-slice capture images according to a multi-slice capture process. 19 to 20 are diagrams for explaining an operation of the device 100 providing a second capture interface 2000 for multi-slice capture according to the second embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 18 to 20 , the processor 110 may provide a second capture interface 2000 for multi-slice capture. More specifically, the display 130 displays CT data, and the receiver 120 may receive a user input requesting to proceed with a multi-slice capture process for CT data. For example, the display 130 may display CT data at a view point (eg, sagittal plane) according to user input, as shown in FIG. 19 . In addition, the receiver 120 can receive a selection input for a multi-slice capture menu provided with CT data and a mouse-over input for the CT data, and the display 130 captures the CT data according to the mouse-over input. A button 1910 can be displayed. When a selection input for the capture button 1910 is received, the processor 110 may provide a second capture interface 2000 for multi-slice capture, as shown in FIG. 19, and the second capture interface 2000 ) Based on this, a multi-slice capture process can be performed.

In step S1810, the processor 110 may determine the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 used for multi-slice capture based on the user input. Here, the first point 2010 may correspond to the point where multi-slice capture begins in the CT data, and the second point 2020 may correspond to the point where multi-slice capture ends in the CT data. In one embodiment, the receiver 120 receives a user input for a specific point on the CT data based on the second capture interface 2000, and the processor 110 selects the first point 2010 according to the received user input. and the second point (2020) can be determined.

In one embodiment, the second capture interface 2000 may include a capture range setting area 2100 where CT data is displayed and a capture preview area 2200 that previews a multi-slice capture image when performing multi-slice capture. You can. For example, the display 130 displays sagittal CT data in the capture range setting area 2100, and the processor 110 responds to sequential selection inputs received for two points within the capture range setting area 2100. Accordingly, the first point (2010) and the second point (2020) can be determined. In addition, the processor 110 obtains an expected multi-slice capture image when multi-slice capture is performed according to a point between the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 from the CT data, and displays the display 130 ) can display the expected multi-slice capture image in the capture preview area 2200.

In one embodiment, the capture range setting area 2100 may be any one of a coronal image, a sagittal image, and a horizontal image corresponding to a reference point. A first point (2010) corresponding to the point where multi-slice capture starts and a second point (2020) corresponding to the point where multi-slice capture ends according to sequential selection inputs applied to the capture range setting area (2100). This can be decided. The processor may acquire a multi-slice capture image according to a preset interval in the direction from the first point 2010 to the second point 2020.

In one embodiment, the multi-slice capture image obtained according to multi-slice capture may be orthogonal to the image displayed in the capture range setting area 2100. Specifically, the view point of the cross-sectional image corresponding to the line indicating the first point 2010 or the second point 2020 may correspond to the view point of the multi-slice capture image. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when a sagittal image is displayed in the capture range setting area 2100, the multi-slice captured image may be a horizontal image. As another example, if a horizontal image is displayed in the capture range setting area 2100, the multi-slice captured image may be a coronal image, and if a coronal image is displayed in the capture range setting area 2100, the multi-slice captured image may be a coronal image. It may be a horizontal image, but is not limited thereto.

In one embodiment, a cross-sectional image indicated by the third point 2030 may be displayed in the capture preview area 2200. The third point 2030 may be updated based on user input and may be located between the first point 2010 and the second point 2020.

In one embodiment, the view point of the image displayed in the capture range setting area 2100 and the view point of the image displayed in the capture preview area 2200 may be different (eg, orthogonal) to each other. Additionally, the processor 110 may determine the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 according to a user input received on CT data according to the second view point. For example, when attempting to capture multi-slice CT data in the horizontal plane, CT data in the sagittal plane may be displayed in the capture range setting area 2100. In addition, as two points on the CT data of the sagittal plane are selected, the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 are determined, and the capture range setting area 2100 is used as a reference line indicating a cross section on the horizontal plane including the corresponding point. ) can be displayed.

In one embodiment, the processor 110 may determine the first point 2010, the second point 2020, a preset interval, and the thickness of sequential cross-sectional images based on user input. Here, the interval represents a reference interval for acquiring sequential cross-sectional images between the first point 2010 and the second point 2020. Additionally, the thickness of the image is the thickness of the image slice applied when capturing CT data, and may be, for example, inversely proportional to the resolution of the image and proportional to the detection range for the human body part. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the processor 110 determines the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 according to the user input received through the capture range setting area 2100, and creates a capture preview area ( At least one of the interval, thickness, and image slice may be determined based on the user input received through 2200). Additionally, the display 130 applies the determined interval (0.5) to the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 to determine image slices (e.g., 100 images), or divides the image slices into the first point 2010. The interval (0.5) can be determined by applying it to the second point 2020, and the determined information can be displayed in the capture preview area 2200.

In step S1820, the processor 110 may acquire sequential cross-sectional images between the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 according to a preset interval. In one embodiment, the processor 110 determines a plurality of points divided by an interval according to a preset interval between the first point 2010 and the second point 2020, and obtains data from CT data at each of the plurality of points. 1 Sequential cross-sectional images can be acquired according to the view point. For example, the processor 110 moves the reference point downward (or upward) from the first point 2010 to the second point 2020 at a preset interval (e.g., N (natural number)) while CT Cross-sectional images of the horizontal plane can be sequentially obtained from the data. For another example, if the number of slice images determined according to user input is 100, the interval is 0.5mm, and the thickness is 0mm, the portion corresponding to 50mm in the CT data in the sagittal plane is converted to CT data in the horizontal plane with an interval of 0.5mm. 100 sequential cross-sectional images can be obtained from.

In one embodiment, the display 130 displays a third point 2030, which is a midpoint between the first point 2010 and the second point 2020, in the capture range setting area 2100, and the first point 2010 ), a cross-sectional image may be obtained from CT data according to any one of the second point 2020 and the third point 2030 and provided to the capture preview area 2200.

21 and 22 are diagrams illustrating an operation of the device 100 according to the second embodiment to provide a second capture interface 2000 for multi-slice capture from various view points.

Referring to FIG. 21, the display 130 displays CT data in the capture range setting area 2100 in the horizontal plane in order to acquire a cross-sectional image along the coronal plane, and the processor 110 displays user information on the CT data in the horizontal plane. The first point (2010) and the second point (2020) can be determined according to the input. The processor 110 may acquire sequential cross-sectional images in the coronal plane from CT data according to an interval between the determined first point 2010 and the second point 2020.

Referring to FIG. 22, the display 130 displays CT data in the capture range setting area 2100 in the coronal plane to acquire a cross-sectional image along the sagittal plane, and the processor 110 displays CT data in the coronal plane. The first point (2010) and the second point (2020) can be determined according to the user input. Likewise, the processor 110 may acquire sequential cross-sectional images in the sagittal plane from CT data according to an interval between the determined first point 2010 and the second point 2020.

In step S1830, the processor 110 may update the point corresponding to the sequential cross-sectional image based on the wheel input. In one embodiment, the receiver 120 may receive a wheel input for CT data according to a specific view point in the capture range setting area 2100. The processor 110 can update the reference point to which the corresponding view point is applied in the CT data upward, downward, right, or left according to the wheel input, and set the capture range to provide CT data at the corresponding view point according to the updated point. Area 2100 can be updated.

For example, when the processor 110 receives a wheel up or wheel down input for turning a wheel on the CT data of the sagittal plane displayed in the capture range setting area 2100, the processor 110 selects the reference point to which the sagittal plane is applied to the right or left compared to the existing position. By moving the point to the left by a preset distance and applying the moved point, updated sagittal CT data can be provided to the capture range setting area 2100. Additionally, the processor 110 can re-acquire 100 sequential cross-sectional images acquired at predetermined intervals in the horizontal plane according to the corresponding points. In this way, sequential cross-sectional images can be sequentially converted in conjunction with each other according to wheel input.

In step S1840, the processor 110 may acquire a multi-slice capture image for any one of the sequential cross-sectional images based on the user input. For example, the display 130 displays 100 sequential cross-sectional images obtained according to a user input requesting multi-slice capture, and the processor 110 selects one or more of the 100 sequential cross-sectional images. Accordingly, the cross-sectional image can be saved as a multi-slice capture image. For another example, the processor 110 may store 100 sequential cross-sectional images as multi-slice capture images.

In this way, the processor 110 can set the first point 2010 and the second point 2020 for a specific section in the image according to user input through a multi-slice capture process, and the number of sequential cross-sectional images, Interval and thickness can be set, and by applying this, sequential cross-sectional images can be captured for the specific section of CT data.

FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an operation of the device 100 to acquire an image for a user annotation or measurement value from a multi-slice captured image according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 23, the processor 110 may provide a capture menu 2300 for acquiring multi-slice capture images using pre-stored information about sequential cross-sectional images. In one embodiment, if overlay text 2500 indicating measurement, user annotation, etc. for the anatomical location is added to a specific location in the CT data, the processor 110 sequentially Among the cross-sectional images, information about the location, name, and basic information of the cross-sectional image including the overlay text 2500 can be provided.

In one embodiment, the processor 110 may store and manage the number of the cross-sectional image with the overlay text 2500 among sequential cross-sectional images, and, for example, classify and provide the cross-sectional images according to the number. Since the user's intention to overlay a value or memo may be to include that part in the report, user convenience can be improved by visually distinguishing and providing only cross-sectional images with overlays. The processor 110 may provide both the original and overlaid items of the cross-sectional image, and may also store the overlaid items separately and provide them separately.

For example, as shown in FIG. 23, the corresponding information may be displayed in the order of which image is the sequential cross-sectional image according to multi-slice capture, screen name, tool name, and information. Additionally, in the case of a screen where a lot of information is input, such as a profile, only summary information such as average may be displayed. Additionally, the processor 110 can control the capture menu 2300 so that the colors of the 2D area and the 3D area are displayed differently, and in the case of 3D tools, can control the order in which they are displayed in the menu so that they are arranged at the top of the 2D tools. there is.

Accordingly, when it is difficult to find the part with the overlay, the user sets the range of the first point (2010) and the second point (2020) to be large through multi-slice capture, and then selects the part with the overlay in the capture menu 2300. After confirming by selecting only, you can optionally include it when writing a report.

In one embodiment, the processor 110 may provide information displayed on the capture menu 2300 by dividing areas into tabs such as teeth and bones. Accordingly, the user can intuitively recognize the division by tab.

In one embodiment, the display 130 may display a cross-sectional image corresponding to an item selected through the capture menu 2300 among sequential cross-sectional images in the preview area 2400. In one embodiment, the display 130 may visually distinguish and display items selected according to user input in the capture menu 2300. For example, the item provided in the preview area 2400 according to the user selection may be displayed as another item. It can be displayed in color.

In one embodiment, when a user input for overlay capture is received, the processor 110 may obtain a cross-sectional image including overlay text 2500 overlaid within the image. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the receiver 120 may receive a selection input for the overlay capture item 2210 provided through the capture preview area 2200, and the processor 110 may receive a selection input for the overlay capture item 2210 as shown in FIG. 23. As shown, a cross-sectional image including overlay text 2500 for measurement values, notes, symbols, etc. overlaid on the capture range setting area 2100 can be saved as a multi-slice capture image. The processor 110 may acquire a cross-sectional image including the overlay text 2500 as the overlay capture function is activated. The overlay capture function may be activated as a selection input for the overlay capture item 2210 is obtained.

As a capture request for a cross-sectional image provided to the preview area 2400 among sequential cross-sectional images is received, the processor 110 may store the corresponding cross-sectional image as a multi-slice capture image. For example, after 100 sequential cross-sectional images are multi-slice captured, the 6 multi-slice captured images may be obtained according to a user input to select 6 of them.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing a method by which the device 100 provides a report according to a multi-slice capture process according to the second embodiment. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an operation of the device 100 according to the second embodiment of adding a selected image determined according to a second user input to the report editing area 310.

Referring to FIGS. 24 and 25 , in step S2410, the receiver 120 may receive a message indicating that a multi-slice capture image has been obtained. For example, a message indicating that acquisition of a plurality of multi-slice capture images has been completed may be output according to the multi-slice capture process described above, and subsequent steps may proceed as the receiver 120 receives the message.

In step S2420, the processor 110 may add a selected image determined according to the second user input from among the plurality of multi-slice captured images to the report editing area 310. For example, when a multi-slice capture image is acquired, steps S220 to S230 may be omitted, and step S2420 may be performed as an example of step S230.

In one embodiment, the processor 110 may provide a report editing area 310 and a thumbnail area 320 for obtaining a report based on a multi-slice captured image. The report editing area 310 may include a section area 315 that is an interface for adding one or more multi-slice captured images. The display 130 displays a plurality of multi-slice captured images in the thumbnail area 320, and the receiver 120 may receive a second user input for selecting one or more of the plurality of multi-slice captured images. The processor 110 may add a selected image corresponding to the image selected according to the second user input among the plurality of multi-slice captured images to the section area 315.

In one embodiment, the second user input may include a drag and drop input. For example, several of a plurality of multi-slice captured images can be sequentially placed in the section area 315 according to a drag and drop input. Additionally, as described above in the selected capture embodiment, images added to the section area 315 may also provide a cropping function through panning or zooming in/out as described above.

In step S2430, the processor 110 may determine a report format based on the number of selected images and provide a report according to the report format determined in step S2440. In one embodiment, the processor 110 may determine a report format corresponding to the number of selected images added to the section area 315 among pre-stored standard report formats. As previously exemplified with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, if the number of selected images is 9, the report format may be (3 x 3), and if there are 6, the report format may be (3 x 2).

In one embodiment, when the number of selected images is 2 to 4, the report format corresponds to a (2 x 2) layout, when the number of selected images is 5 to 6, it corresponds to a (2 x 3) layout, and when the number is 7 to 9 , (3 x 3) corresponds to a layout of 10 to 16, corresponds to a (4 x 4) layout, corresponds to a (4 It can support 6 x 6) layout.

In this way, users can capture multiple images sequentially through multi-slice capture and then easily add desired images to the report by dragging and dropping. The appropriate report format is determined depending on the number of added images, improving user convenience. It can be improved.
