Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, as mentioned above, the current projection image only shows surface information, such as the thickness of the plaque and calcification formed on the blood vessel wall, and cannot display information related to the spatial distribution.
For example, in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, etc., information on the spatial distribution of plaque sites and calcification sites is important, but current image processing devices cannot provide such information

Embodiment 1

[0040] The medical image diagnosis apparatus 1 in Embodiment 1 collects three-dimensional image data. For example, the medical image diagnostic apparatus 1 is an X-ray CT apparatus that collects three-dimensional X-ray CT images, an MRI apparatus that collects three-dimensional MRI images, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that collects three-dimensional ultrasonic images, or the like. The medical image database 2 in Embodiment 1 stores three-dimensional image data collected by the medical image diagnosis apparatus 1 . For example, the medical image database 2 is a database of a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) that manages medical images, a database of an electronic chart system that manages karts added to medical images, and the like.

[0041] Here, the image processing apparatus 100 of the first embodiment acquires three-dimensional image data specified by an operator such as a physician from the medical image database 2 , performs image processing on the ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an image processing device and a medical image diagnosis device, which can display information related to the spatial distribution of plaque sites and calcification sites on a virtual roaming image. A generation unit, a determination unit, a measurement unit, and a display control unit are provided. The generating unit generates a virtual endoscopic image observed in the set viewpoint position and line of sight direction from the three-dimensional image data. The specifying unit analyzes the three-dimensional image data, and specifies a plaque site and / or a calcified site. The measurement unit measures information related to the spatial distribution of the plaque site and / or the calcification site specified by the specifying unit. The display control unit controls to display information related to the spatial distribution measured by the measurement unit together with the virtual endoscopic image generated by the generation unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image processing device and a medical image diagnosis device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a method (hereinafter referred to as "VE (Virtual Endoscopy)" method) for generating a virtual endoscopic image from three-dimensional image data collected by a medical image diagnostic apparatus is generally known. The medical image diagnostic apparatus is, for example, an X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) apparatus, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus (hereinafter referred to as “MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)” apparatus), an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, and the like. In the VE method, the image processing device accepts the setting of the viewpoint position, the direction of the line of sight, and the angle of view around the direction of the line of sight. Then, the image processing device generates a projected image by projecting the three-dimensional image data in a radial perspective from the viewpoint po...
