Title:
X-RAY DIAGNOSIS SUPPORTING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/137294
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An X-ray diagnosis supporting apparatus, a program, and a storage medium for performing local quantitative evaluation of the function of, e.g., a lung to be examined and obtaining evaluation results effectively usable for image interpretation and diagnosis. A moving picture processing section (23) determines the movement amount by measuring the position of the diaphragm from a moving picture, specifies a moving picture of the maximum inspiration and a moving picture of the maximum expiration of CT images, and determines relative ventilation information for each divided breast area by using a pixel difference value. A CT image processing section (24) performs linear interpolation, creates a coronal image, a saggital image, and a raysum image, and measures the position of the diaphragm from the raysum image. An integrating section (25) aligns the frame of the moving picture having a respiration level equal to that of the CT image with the raysum image created from the CT image, and superimposes the ventilation information on the coronal image and the moving picture.
