| 摘要 |
An image processor according to the invention is provided with a storage that stores the volume data of a medical image including a chest of an examined body, a search range setting device that specifies a cardiac search range based upon an air region corresponding to a lung in a tomographic image acquired based upon the volume data, a ventricular cluster detector that detects a ventricular region from the cardiac search range, a long axis detector that detects the long axis of a ventricle from the detected ventricular region, a multiplanar reconstruction processor that generates plural sectional images perpendicular to the detected ventricular long axis based upon the volume data, a ventricular wall detector that detects the inner wall and the outer wall of the ventricle from each of the plural sectional images, a ventricle analyzer that analyzes the ventricle based upon the detected ventricular inner/outer walls and a controller that makes a series of processes from a process for limiting the range including the heart to a process for analyzing the ventricle automatically proceed according to an instruction to start automatic analysis.
