Blood flow measurement apparatus

Abstract

A blood flow measurement apparatus of an embodiment includes an image acquisition unit, an image region specification unit, a measurement location setting unit, a scanner, and a blood flow information generation unit. The image acquisition unit acquires an image of a living body. The image region specification unit analyzes the image to specify a plurality of blood vessel regions. The measurement location setting unit sets a plurality of measurement locations that intersects with the plurality of blood vessel regions. The scanner scans a plurality of cross sections of the living body corresponding to the plurality of measurement locations using optical coherence tomography. The blood flow information generation unit generates blood flow information on the living body based on data acquired through the scan.
