DIAGNOSIS ASSISTING SYSTEM, DIAGNOSIS ASSISTING PROGRAM, AND DIAGNOSIS ASSISTING METHOD

摘要

A CPR image (14) that represents a range corresponding to at least a portion of a blood vessel is generated from volume data obtained by imaging, and arranged in a predetermined region of a display screen 11C. Band shaped condition display regions (13, 15) are arranged outside the predetermined region such that they are parallel to the blood vessel represented by the CPR image. Index values, such as stenosis rates and whether plaque is present, are calculated by analyzing the volume data. The condition display regions (13, 15) are displayed in colors according to the values of the index values. Thereby, the state of the intima of the blood vessel can be sufficiently observed over a wide range, and the stenosis rates at portions of the blood vessel can be intuitively understood at the same time.
