APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR QUANTITATIVELY EVALUATING COMPLEXITY OF SHAPE AND TRAVEL OF ORGAN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a program which enables a quantitative evaluation of complexity of the shape and travel of organs such as blood vessels (especially regenerated blood vessels). SOLUTION: The program to carry out evaluation processing for quantitatively evaluating the complexity of the shape and the travel of the organ by a computer is provided. The evaluation processing includes a step (S21) for generating image data which have enhanced margin of the organ based on the image data acquired by imaging the organ and a step (S22) for calculating a fractal dimensional value for the image data which has the enhanced margin of the organ.
