Embodiment Construction

[0033] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0034] exist figure 1 , schematically illustrates a cross-section through the abdomen of an organism. In detail, in figure 1 , shows the situation when the index value representing the visceral fat mass is measured. In addition, the X direction is the spine direction, the Z direction is the thickness direction of the living body, and the Y direction is the left-right direction. figure 1 The shown cross section is a cross section when the head side is viewed from the foot side.

[0035] exist figure 1 Here, the living body 10 is the abdomen, the lower side is the back, and the upper side is the abdominal surface 12 . For example, the living body 10 is placed in a supine position on a bed. A subcutaneous fat layer 14 exists inside the living body 10 . The subcutaneous fat layer 14 is a layer including skin. On its inner side there is a muscle layer 16, and on its...

Abstract

In a metabolic syndrome examination, a probe is placed in contact upon a surface of an abdomen, and transmission and receiving of ultrasound is carried out. In a tomographic image which is formed thereby, a length a between the surface of the body and the abdominal aorta, and a length a1 between the outer edge of a visceral fat containing region and the abdominal aorta, are measured. An abdominal circumference length c is measured separately. Taking approximating an abdominal cross-section with an ellipse as a premise, a total area of the abdomen is computed from the abdominal circumference length c and the length a. An area of the visceral fat region is computed from the total area and the ratio of the length a1 to the length a as an area of a similar ellipse (partial area). An index which represents a visceral fat quantity is computed from this partial surface area and one or more personal parameter values for a subject.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic system, in particular to an ultrasonic diagnostic system for measuring visceral fat. Background technique [0002] Ultrasonic diagnostic systems are effectively used in the medical field. An ultrasonic diagnostic system is generally constituted by an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, or is constituted as a combination of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and a computer. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is composed of an ultrasonic probe that transmits ultrasonic waves to a living body and receives reflected waves from the living body, and an apparatus body that performs image formation and measurement based on received signals from the ultrasonic probe. Ultrasonic diagnosis can avoid problems such as radiation exposure that occur in X-ray diagnosis, and does not require a large-scale mechanism that is required in X-ray diagnosis. In view of such convenience, ultrasound diagnosis can be expected to b...
