Abstract

To provide an acupuncture technique analysis system and program for an acupuncture technique practice device that can accurately and easily determine the insertion angle and insertion depth of a needle inserted into a target material. [Solution] The acupuncture technique analysis system disclosed in this application comprises a member to be inserted into an acupuncture technique 11 for acupuncture technique practice, a background plate 12 positioned behind the member to be inserted into an acupuncture technique, an imaging unit 21 that acquires image data of the member to be inserted into an acupuncture technique with a needle 13 inserted into it, and an analysis unit 22 that includes a data processing unit 23, a storage unit 24, and a data output unit 25. The analysis unit extracts the needle handle portion 13a of the needle from the image data acquired by the imaging unit and detects the insertion position of the needle inserted into the member to be inserted into it, and calculates the value of the insertion angle and the value of the insertion depth of the needle inserted into the member to be inserted into it.
