IMAGE DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention provides an image data processing device that is beneficial in order to reduce the patient's strain and botheration for the practitioner when performing the transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment, and a transcranial magnetic stimulation apparatus utilizing the image data processing device. The image data processing device is provided with: a storage means configured to store a three-dimensional MRI image of a subject's head that has been previously taken; a three-dimensional appearance image generation means configured to generate a three-dimensional appearance image of the subject's head; an image generation means configured to perform positional alignment between the three-dimensional MRI image and the three-dimensional appearance image, and to generate a three-dimensional image of the subject's head after the positional alignment; an after-movement image generation means configured to generate, when the subject's head has been moved, a three-dimensional subject's head image after the movement and the positional alignment; an operational object image generation means configured to generate an operational object image indicating a current position of an operational object operated and moved so as to maintain a positional relation with a specific portion on the three-dimensional MRI image of the subject's head; and a display means configured to display the three-dimensional image of the subject's head after the movement and the operational object image in one image.
