Title:
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING ENHANCED IMAGING DATA ON CLINICAL IMAGE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017213451
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide favorable methods and apparatus for displaying enhanced imaging data on a clinical image.SOLUTION: In one embodiment of the invention, an apparatus includes a display device. The display device displays: a desaturated image of tissue captured in the visible electro-magnetic (EM) spectrum from a body cavity; and a first color enhanced image combined with the desaturated image. The first color enhanced image represents the first data captured from the body cavity outside the visible electromagnetic spectrum. The relative brightness between the desaturated image and the first color enhanced image is set to emphasize the first data over the tissue captured in the visible electromagnetic spectrum to provide improved information content.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
