MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSOR AND PROGRAM

摘要

The aim of the present invention lies in enabling a practitioner to quantitatively ascertain the amount of expression of a specified protein in a tissue section. An image processor (2A) comprises a control unit (21), and when a ROI of an object being analysed is specified by means of an operating unit (22) from a cell form image showing the form of cells in a tissue section (bright-field image or fluorescent image), the control unit (21) extracts the cell nucleus region from the bright-field image or fluorescent image, and extracts a fluorescent bright point showing expression of the specified protein from the fluorescent image. A feature value showing the amount of expression of the specified protein in the designated ROI is then calculated and output on the basis of the fluorescent bright point and the region of the cell nucleus present in the ROI designated by the operating unit (22).
