Selection of operations in a desired order and, as necessary, input of processing parameters by the user are received. Based on each operation corresponding to the received input, operation information, which classifies the operation corresponding to the input into a non-routine operation, which requires input of a processing parameter during execution of an automated operation list, or a routine operation other than the non-routine operation in advance, is obtained. Then, an automated operation list is generated based on the obtained operation information by registering, if the operation corresponding to the input is a routine operation, the operation corresponding to the input in the automated operation list with associating, as necessary, a necessary processing parameter for the operation with the operation, and registering, if the operation corresponding to the input is a non-routine operation, the operation corresponding to the input in the automated operation list.

A pseudo three dimensional image is generated, based on an aspect image and a mapping image generated from an original three dimensional image, using a volume rendering method. A mapping image that represents the functions of a subject is generated using first voxel data that constitute an original three dimensional medical image of the subject. An aspect image is generated using second voxel data that constitute an original three dimensional medical image of the subject. A position matching means causes positions within a heart represented by the mapping image to correspond to positions within a heart represented by the aspect image. An image generating means executes volume rendering based on degrees of opacity within the mapping image, to generate the pseudo three dimensional image.

Using a three-dimensional medical image representing a heart as input, a cardiac function analysis unit calculates a cardiac function evaluation value representing a cardiac function with respect to each of predetermined portions of the heart, using a three-dimensional medical image representing the heart as input, a myocardial infarction analysis unit calculates a myocardial infarction rate representing a degree of myocardial infarction with respect to each of predetermined portions of the heart, and a superimposed image output unit outputs a superimposed image representing the cardiac function evaluation value and the myocardial infarction rate in a superimposing manner such that they are distinguishable from each other in a coordinate system capable of representing each position of the heart in the three-dimensional medical image.

摘要:
The systolic timings of myocardia at various positions of a heart are analyzed and evaluated. An image processing apparatus 1 obtains myocardial thicknesses at various positions of a heart within a plurality of three dimensional images V1 through VK, obtained by imaging a heart at a plurality of temporal phases within a single cardiac cycle, at each of the temporal phases. The image processing apparatus 1 obtains representative values that represent the systolic phase of the myocardia at each position, based on the obtained myocardial thicknesses at each temporal phase, and outputs the obtained representative values.

Using first voxel data of a three-dimensional medical image obtained by photographing a subject, a functional image representing a function of a heart in at least one position is generated, and using a portion of second voxel data of a three-dimensional medical image obtained by photographing the subject corresponding to an area which includes a blood vessel along an outer myocardial wall of the heart, a morphological image depicting morphology of the blood vessel is generated. Then, the functional image and the morphological image are displayed in a superimposing manner such that at least one position of the heart in the functional image corresponds to at least one position of the heart in the morphological image.
摘要:
A cardiac cavity region is extracted from a three dimensional functional image that represents evaluation index data of cardiac functions, and a cardiac function bulls eye image that represents the functions of the cardiac cavity is generated. Coronary artery image data are extracted from three dimensional anatomical images that represents the structures of the heart and the coronary artery, and coronary article closed surfaces that include the extracted coronary artery image data are calculated. A coronary artery bulls eye image is generated form the extracted coronary artery image data, and distances from the boundary surface of the cardiac cavity region to the coronary artery closed surfaces are calculated. Display output is controlled such that the cardiac function bulls eye image, the coronary artery bulls eye image, and data representing the distances are displayed simultaneously on the screen of a display device.
