DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An imaging apparatus and method determines distribution and a type of tissue attribute in a vascular cross section based on reflected wave data of ultrasound detected by an imaging core and interference light data including a reflected wave of light detected by the imaging core. A portion of match/mismatch is determined by comparing respectively classified vascular tissue attributes. Then, the distribution of the body tissue attributes is displayed by superimposing the distribution on any one of an ultrasound cross-sectional image, an optical interference cross-sectional image, and a composite image between the ultrasound cross-sectional image and the optical interference cross-sectional image, in a display form in which the match/mismatch can be identified.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus for diagnosis which generates a vascular cross-sectional image based on ultrasound and a vascular cross-sectional image based on optical interference, comprising:
a probe for rotatably and movably accommodating an imaging core having an ultrasound transceiver and an optical transceiver; first classification means for determining distribution and a type of tissue attribute in a vascular cross section, based on reflected wave data of ultrasound detected by the imaging core; second classification means for determining the distribution and the type of the tissue attribute in the vascular cross section, based on interference light data including a reflected wave of light detected by the imaging core; determination means for determining a portion of match/mismatch by comparing respective vascular tissue attributes classified by the first classification means and the second classification means; and display means for displaying the distribution of body tissue attributes determined by the determination means in a display form in which the match/mismatch can be identified.
