AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technology requires the use of two measuring tools and one 3-point angle tool when measuring the fetal jaw index, which makes the measurement process cumbersome and visually unrecognizable.

Method used

Using a medical image processing device, the reference position determination function and the measurement position determination function automatically determine the reference position and measurement position of the fetal mandible, and measure the distance from the measurement position to the reference line through the measurement function, which simplifies the operation process.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the labor required for measurement, improves the visual recognition of measurement results and measurement efficiency, and can efficiently measure the anteroposterior distance (APD) of the fetal mandible.

Abstract

To reduce labor required for measurement. A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an acquisition unit, a first decision unit, a second decision unit, and a measurement unit. The acquisition unit acquires a medical image. The first decision unit decides at least two reference positions in the medical image. The second decision unit decides a measurement position with respect to the reference positions decided by the first decision unit. The measurement unit measures a distance from the measurement position to a reference line determined by the reference positions.
