Title:
IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/177353
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Proposed is an image processing method and the like suitable for an analysis of magnetic resonance image data through simple arithmetic processing. An image processing device 5 performs processing on magnetic resonance image data obtained by capturing images of a plurality of sites of a living body. An MRI scanner 3 captures images of a plurality of sites of a living body to obtain magnetic resonance image data. An image processing unit 11 generates phase difference image data from the magnetic resonance image data. A signal acquisition unit 13 acquires phase difference image signals from the phase difference image data. A statistic calculation unit 15 calculates, for example, a statistic by performing statistical processing on the distribution of the phase difference image signals against phase difference on a per-site basis. The statistical processing involves, for example, calculation of a mean, a standard deviation, kurtosis, and skewness. A target substance evaluation unit 17 evaluates the amount of a target substance contained in the plurality of sites, using the statistic calculated on a per-site basis.
