Outline of Final Research Achievements

Healthcare providers would struggle to collect precise patient information and match individuals to their medical records. There are several human factors that can cause patient misidentification, including communication or human errors in healthcare work.
In addition to conventional patient confirmation, to use of biometrics for automated patient identity verification can be expected to reduce patient misidentification problems.
Biometrics using medical images have high versatility for verifying a patient’s identity, and have high feasibility for applying under a routine clinical examination. We believe that our technique can be used as a patient confirmation tool during frequently performed CT examinations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により,診療用のCT画像データにおいても個人を識別する生体特徴があり,特徴点マッチングにより検査を受ける患者が正しいかどうかを高精度に評価することができた. これにより,患者および医療従事者に負担を与えることなく患者誤認問題の解決に向けての可能性が切り開かれたものと考えている.ただし,本研究では検査部位を体幹部に限定しており,より様々な検査に応用できるシステム再構築が課題である.
