POLARIZATION IMAGE MEASUREMENT/DISPLAY SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polarization image measurement/display system that can display an exposed tissue from a lesioned part or the like in an identifiable manner by obtaining a polarization property image and can support a doctor to make a diagnosis.SOLUTION: A polarization image measurement/display system comprises: an exposure unit that sequentially exposes a subject to multiple polarized light beams having different polarization states; an imaging unit that sequentially images reflected light from the subject each time the polarized light beams is emitted, and outputs its light intensity image information; a polarization conversion processing unit that applies polarization conversion processing to multiple pieces of the light intensity image information by the reflected light to convert those into multiple pieces of polarization property image information having different polarization properties; a display conversion processing unit that converts the respective pieces of polarization property image information into multiple pieces of polarization property image information for display so as to visually display those; an image combination unit that generates composite image information by combining two or more polarization property images for display that respectively correspond to the pieces of the polarization property image information for display among multiple polarization property images for display, on the basis of the pieces of polarization property image information for display; and a display unit that displays the composite image corresponding to the composite image information, on the basis of the composite image information.
