Title:
IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/008136
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An image processing device is provided with: a fluorescence-intensity- calculation unit for calculating the intensity of fluorescence in a fluorescence image in which the influence of fluorescence, from among the fluorescence generated by a living body irradiated with excitation light, other than that of an imaging plane has been removed; a fluorescence-intensity-distribution-creation unit for creating a three-dimensional fluorescence intensity distribution for the same living body from the fluorescence intensities of a plurality of fluorescence images that have been calculated by the fluorescence-intensity-calculation unit and that correspond to different cross sections of the same living body; a fluorescence-intensity-information-storage unit for storing fluorescence intensity information for a prescribed biological tissue and fluorescence intensity information for cells to be detected; a biological-tissue-identification unit for using the fluorescence intensity distribution created by the fluorescence-intensity-distribution-creation unit to identify a biological tissue that matches the fluorescence intensity information for the prescribed biological tissue read out from the fluorescence-intensity-information-storage unit; a cell identification unit for using the fluorescence intensity distribution created by the fluorescence-intensity-distribution- creation unit to identify, for each biological tissue identified by the biological-tissue-identification unit, cells that match the fluorescence intensity information for the cells to be detected read out from the fluorescence-intensity-information-storage unit; and a state determination unit for determining the state of the biological tissue on the basis of the cell information identified by the cell identification unit.
