    Abstract: In an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control method of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus of the present invention, a posture sensor detects whether an orientation of a monitor is a vertically long posture or a laterally long posture, and a display control unit displays an ultrasound image on a display screen on the basis of the orientation of the monitor. A hidden region detection unit detects whether or not a hidden region that is not displayed on the display screen is present in the ultrasound image, and a blood vessel detection unit detects a blood vessel in the ultrasound image. Then, in a case where it is detected that the hidden region is present and it is detected that the blood vessel is present in the hidden region, an orientation suggestion unit suggests to change the orientation of the monitor. Accordingly, in a case where blood vessel puncture is performed, an appropriate orientation of the monitor for observing the blood vessel in the ultrasound image is suggested to the user.

    Abstract: A radiography system includes a radiography apparatus, a distance measurement device, and a processor. The processor generates subject posture information indicating a posture of a subject based on distance measurement information generated by the distance measurement device, generates positional relationship estimation information indicating a position, a posture, and/or an orientation of the subject with respect to the radiography apparatus by using the subject posture information and apparatus posture information indicating a posture of the radiography apparatus, and performs notification control of giving notification about capturing of the radiation image and/or imaging apparatus control with respect to the radiography apparatus based on the positional relationship estimation information.

    Abstract: An ultrasound system (1) includes an ultrasound probe (2), a mobile information terminal (3), and an external apparatus (4). The ultrasound probe (2) includes a transmission and reception circuit (22) that transmits an ultrasonic wave from a transducer array (21) and generates a sound ray signal, and a reception data generation unit that generates reception data before imaging based on the sound ray signal. The mobile information terminal (3) includes a camera unit (33) that acquires a view image. The external apparatus (4) includes a display controller (44) that displays an ultrasound image generated based on the reception data and the view image on an external monitor (45), and an input device (47). In a case where a probe freeze instruction is input from the input device (47), the transmission of the ultrasonic wave from the transducer array (21) is stopped.

    Abstract: A control device includes a processor that controls a mammography apparatus that irradiates a breast with radiation to capture a radiographic image of the breast such that the radiation with either first energy or second energy higher than the first energy is emitted at each of irradiation positions having different irradiation angles while a radiation source is being moved to capture low-energy projection images with the first energy and high-energy projection images with the second energy, an irradiation time for which the radiation with the second energy is emitted is longer than an irradiation time for which the radiation with the first energy is emitted, and a focus size of the radiation source in a case in which the radiation with the first energy is emitted is larger than a focus size of the radiation source in a case in which the radiation with the second energy is emitted.

    Abstract: A puncture needle includes a shaft-part, a needle-tip-part disposed at a tip of the shaft-part, and processed-parts that are arranged on an outer peripheral part of the shaft-part along a length direction of the shaft-part and form an arithmetic progression in which arrangement intervals gradually decrease toward the needle-tip-part, wherein among the processed-parts, an arrangement interval between a first-processed-part which is separated from the needle-tip-part by a predetermined distance and is closest to the needle-tip-part and a second-processed-part which is second closest to the needle-tip-part is equal to or less than a tolerance of the arithmetic progression, or a distance from the needle-tip-part to the first-processed-part which is closest to the needle-tip-part is equal to or less than the tolerance of the arithmetic progression and equal to a difference between the arrangement interval between the first-processed-part and the second-processed-part which is second closest to the needle-tip-part and the tolerance.

    Abstract: An image acquisition unit acquires a plurality of projection images corresponding to each of a plurality of radiation source positions which have been generated by directing an imaging apparatus to perform tomosynthesis imaging for an object compressed by a compression plate. An edge image detection unit detects an edge image caused by the edge of the compression plate in the plurality of projection images. A cutout unit cuts out the projection image according to a positional relationship between the edge image and an image of the object to generate a cut-out projection image.
