CARDIAC FUNCTION MEASUREMENT DEVICE, CARDIAC FUNCTION MEASUREMENT METHOD, AND CARDIAC FUNCTION MEASURING PROGRAM

摘要

A cardiac function measuring apparatus, a cardiac function measuring method, and a cardiac function measuring program capable of monitoring cardiac functions are disclosed. The cardiac function measuring apparatus for measuring data for evaluating cardiac functions includes an irradiation unit for irradiating a jugular with light, an imaging unit configured to acquire image data of the jugular, and a vein discriminating part configured to discriminate a shape of the jugular vein in the acquired image data and to calculate a shape complexity level indicating complexity in the shape of the jugular.
