Abstract
A medical-use image data analyzing apparatus, aiming for detecting with a simple operation, presence or extent of difference in timing of movements among local portions as to facilitate diagnosis of diseases such as cardiac infarction, includes: an image input unit configured to input an image data of a test subject; a movement detector configured to detect movement of the test subject, based on the image data; a time distance calculator which calculates a time distance up to a time point when movement parameter, which is calculated from the movement, reaches local maximum or local minimum; a display device configured to display the time distances for the respective local portions of the test subject; and a memory.
Claims5
A medical-use image data analyzing apparatus comprising:
- an image input unit configured to input a time-series image data of an object to be measured;
- a movement detector configured to detect displacements of respective local portions on the object to be measured, based on the time-series image data;
- a time distance calculator which calculates a movement parameter from the displacement within a preset time section of a period for the time-series image data, and calculates a time distance up to a time point when the movement parameter reaches maximum or minimum value within the preset time section;
- and
- a display device configured to generate a new image by a color or a pattern allocated according to the time distance calculated about each of the local portions, overlap the new image on an original image, and display the overlapping images.
A method of analyzing medical-use image data comprising the steps of:
- inputting a time-series image data of an object to be measured;
- detecting displacements of respective local portions on the object to be measured, on basis of the time-series image data;
- calculating a movement parameter from the displacement within a preset time section of a period for the time-series image-data, and calculating a time distance up to a time point when the movement parameter reaches the maximum value or the minimum value in the preset section;
- and
- generating a new image by a color or a pattern allocated according to the time distance calculated about each of the local portions, overlapping the new image on an original image, and displaying the overlapping images.
A program for analyzing medical-use image comprising:
- data stored on a computer-readable medium to cause a computer to execute instructions of:
- inputting a time-series image data of an object to be measured;
- detecting displacements of respective local portions of the object to be measured on basis of the time-series image data;
- calculating a movement parameter from the displacement within a preset time section of a period for the time-series image data, and calculating a time distance up to a time point when the movement parameter reaches maximum or minimum value within the preset time section;
- and
- generating a new image by a color or a pattern allocated according to the time distance calculated about each of the local portions, overlapping the new image on an original image, and displaying the overlapping images.
