MEASUREMENT DEVICE, MEASUREMENT METHOD, AND MEASUREMENT PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measurement device, a measurement method and a measurement program with which the presence/absence and/or the size of an aneurysm generated in a vascular path can be evaluated with relatively simple configuration and by simple procedure.

SOLUTION: The measurement device includes: a detection means for detecting respective pulse wave signals at a first measurement position of a vascular path from the heart of a subject through a part where the occurrence of an aneurysm is expected, and a second measurement position of a vascular path from the heart of the subject through a part different from the part where the occurrence of the aneurysm is expected; a comparison means for making the comparison of frequency properties between the pulse wave signals to calculate comparison results; and a determination means for determining at least one of the presence/absence and the size of the aneurysm on the basis of a prescribed feature amount with respect to a frequency included in the comparison results.
