DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diagnostic imaging apparatus highly precisely diagnosing a lesion in the large intestine by detecting pits. SOLUTION: A three-dimensional optical tomographic image is obtained by the configuration of an apparatus using an endoscope and an optical probe, images in X-Y planes perpendicular to the depth direction of a living body tissue are cut out at a plurality of depth positions, based on the three-dimensional tomographic image data, and a pit pattern shape highlighted image is generated from their average image to perform diagnostic support.
