Abstract
A hardness deriving device includes: an acquisition section configured to acquire plural ultrasound images obtained by ultrasound imaging a breast in a state in which the breast is pressed by a pressing member at a plurality of different pressures; and a deriving section configured to find an amount of change at corresponding points between the plural ultrasound images acquired by the acquisition section, and to derive information indicating a hardness of tissue of the breast based on the amount of change at the corresponding points.
Claims14
A hardness deriving device comprising:
- an acquisition section configured to acquire a plurality of ultrasound images obtained by ultrasound imaging a breast in a state in which the breast is pressed by a pressing member at a plurality of different pressures;
- and
- a deriving section configured to find an amount of change at corresponding points between the plurality of ultrasound images acquired by the acquisition section, and to derive information indicating a hardness of tissue of the breast based on the amount of change at the corresponding points.
A hardness deriving method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of ultrasound images obtained by ultrasound imaging a breast in a state in which the breast is pressed by a pressing member at a plurality of different pressures;
- and
- finding an amount of change at corresponding points between the plurality of ultrasound images, and deriving information indicating a hardness of tissue of the breast based on the amount of change at the corresponding points.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute hardness deriving processing, the hardness deriving processing comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of ultrasound images obtained by ultrasound imaging a breast in a state in which the breast is pressed by a pressing member at a plurality of different pressures;
- and
- finding an amount of change at corresponding points between the plurality of ultrasound images, and deriving information indicating a hardness of tissue of the breast based on the amount of change at the corresponding points.
