MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSIS DEVICE, IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

In the embodiment, the image-forming unit (140, 334) forms a medical image. Then the decision-making unit (143b, 334b) detects the arrival time when the contrast medium reaches the prescribed region in the medical image. The decision-making unit (143b, 334b) also establishes a color map that associates arrival times with color on the basis of a first influx time corresponding to the first designated region established in the medical image and a second influx time corresponding to the second designated region. Thereafter, a generating unit (143c, 334c) generates a converted color image wherein colors have been assigned to various regions in the medical image on the basis of the color map and arrival times in various regions of the medical image. Then, the control unit (160, 333) displays the converted color image on the monitor (13, 332).
