<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood flow visualizing diagnostic device which can improve usefulness by visualizing and displaying quantities relating to the energy efficiency of a blood flow that are measured in an actual patient; and to provide a program. <P>SOLUTION: In the blood flow visualizing diagnostic device, flow rate data of blood flowing in a blood vessel in vivo is acquired; energy losses of the blood flow at multiple representative points in an area of interest within the blood vessel are calculated, according to an arithmetic expression not explicitly including the blood pressure in the blood vessel, on the basis of the flow rate data thus acquired; and then an image showing the extents of energy loss at the multiple representative points thus calculated is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
