<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To analyze and evaluate the systolic timings of myocardia at various positions of a heart. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus 1 obtains myocardial thicknesses at various positions of a heart within a plurality of three dimensional images V1 through VN, obtained by imaging a heart at a plurality of temporal phases within a single cardiac cycle, at each of the temporal phases. The image processing apparatus obtains representative values that represent the systolic phase of the myocardia at each position, based on the obtained myocardial thicknesses at each temporal phase, and outputs the obtained representative values. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
