Abstract
Provided is an image processing device including a hardware processor. The hardware processor: obtains a static image and a dynamic image of a same subject by radiographic imaging; detects, on the static image, a first analysis target area; detects, on the dynamic image, a second analysis target area corresponding to the first analysis target area; analyzes the second analysis target area of the dynamic image to generate a functional information representative from change caused by biological motion; deforms and positions the second analysis target area so that the second analysis target area corresponds to the first analysis target area; overlays the functional information representative of the deformed and positioned second analysis target area on the static image.
Claims10
An image processing device comprising a hardware processor,
- wherein the hardware processor:
- obtains a static image and a dynamic image of a same subject by radiographic imaging;
- detects, on the static image, a first analysis target area;
- detects, on the dynamic image, a second analysis target area corresponding to the first analysis target area;
- analyzes the second analysis target area of the dynamic image to generate a functional information representative from change caused by biological motion;
- deforms and positions the second analysis target area so that the second analysis target area corresponds to the first analysis target area;
- overlays the functional information representative of the deformed and positioned second analysis target area on the static image to generate a single final output image;
- and
- displays the single final output image on a display,
- wherein the functional information representative indicates ventilation, blood flow, a ventilation and blood flow balance, a lung motion amount, or a lung movement direction, and the hardware processor generates the functional information representative from a frame image where the change caused by the biological motion is a maximum among multiple frame images of the dynamic image.
