DIAGNOSIS ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND PROGRAM

摘要

Provided is a GUI-containing system that effectively utilizes kymographic images, integrates information to be used for diagnosis in a viewing system and allows accurate diagnosis even by physicians who have little experience with stethoscopes. With this diagnosis assistance system (100), a control unit (31) of a diagnostic console (3) extracts the lung field regions from the respective image frames of a plurality of image frames representing the movements of the chest, which have been transmitted from an imaging console (2); divides said extracted lung field regions into a plurality of sub-regions; correlates the divided sub-regions in the plurality of image frames with each other and analyses same; thereby calculating previously established characteristic quantities that represent the movement of the divided sub-regions. When the regions for display of analysis results are selected by the operating unit (33), the characteristic quantities for the selected sub-regions are displayed.
