Abstract

There is provided an image display device including a display control unit having a display combining unit that displays one or a plurality of pathological index cursors based on information relating to a pathological slide image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory device configured to store instructions for the one or more processors,
wherein, based on execution of the instructions, the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a medical image;
receive cancer type information;
control a display device to display an index cursor with the medical image, wherein
the index cursor is rotatable and movable,
the index cursor corresponds to the cancer type information, and
the index cursor is at least one of a text corresponding to the cancer type information, an image corresponding to the cancer type information, or a first numeric value corresponding to the cancer type information; and

control, based on a cancer stage classification, the display device to blink the index cursor and change a color of the index cursor.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
determine at least one of a distance of the cancer type information or an area of the cancer type information;
output the index cursor in a form of a ruler based on the determined at least one of the distance of the cancer type information or the area of the cancer type information; and
adjust a size of the index cursor based on magnification information of the medical image, wherein the index cursor indicates one of cancer invasion distance data, cancer invasion area data, or cancer invasion depth data.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
calculate a second numeric value of at least one of a number or a ratio related to the cancer type information; and
output the index cursor in a form of a seal based on the calculated second numeric value, wherein the index cursor indicates one of cancer staining data, nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio data, or cancer-causing microbe number data.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
determine a cancer stage;
determine the cancer stage classification; and
output at least one of a picture or the first numeric value for the determined cancer stage classification as the index cursor based on the determined cancer stage.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to control the display device to display a plurality of pathological slide images, a plurality of cancer index lists, the index cursor, and a plurality of index lists, and
wherein the plurality of cancer index lists is at least one of a type of data including cancer invasion distance data, cancer invasion area data, cancer invasion depth data, cancer staining data, nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio data, cancer causing microbe number data, or cancer stage classification data.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
control the index cursor to illuminate based on a diagnostic threshold value, wherein the index cursor is movable over a pathological slide image of the plurality of pathological slide images; and
determine a size of the index cursor based on magnification information of the medical image and a size of the pathological slide image.

7. An information processing method, comprising:
receiving a medical image;
receiving cancer type information;
controlling a display device to display an index cursor with the medical image, wherein
the index cursor is rotatable and movable,
the index cursor corresponds to the cancer type information, and
the index cursor is at least one of a text corresponding to the cancer type information, an image corresponding to the cancer type information, or a numeric value corresponding to the cancer type information; and

controlling, based on a cancer stage classification, the display device to blink the index cursor and change a color of the index cursor.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a medical image;
receiving cancer type information;
controlling a display device to display an index cursor with the medical image, wherein
the index cursor is rotatable and movable,
the index cursor corresponds to the cancer type information, and
the index cursor is at least one of a text corresponding to the cancer type information, an image corresponding to the cancer type information, or a numeric value corresponding to the cancer type information; and

controlling, based on a cancer stage classification, the display device to blink the index cursor and change a color of the index cursor.

9. A microscope system, comprising:
a server; and
an information processing apparatus that includes:
one or more processors, wherein the server is configured to connect to the information processing apparatus via a network; and
a memory device configured to store instructions to be executed by the one or more processors,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a medical image;
receive cancer type information;
control a display device to display an index cursor with the medical image, wherein
the index cursor is rotatable and movable,
the index cursor corresponds to the cancer type information, and
the index cursor is at least one of a text corresponding to the cancer type information, an image corresponding to the cancer type information, or a numeric value corresponding to the cancer type information; and

control, based on a cancer stage classification, the display device to blink the index cursor and change a color of the index cursor.
