Striatal image analysis apparatus, program and striatum image analysis system

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, program and system that can obtain an objective and quantitative outcome for diagnosing a tendency of a case of a linear body neurodegenerative disease for each human subject, using a three-dimensional nuclear medical image.SOLUTION: A linear body image analysis device 100 has: an image acquisition unit 20; a reference point specification unit 30; an axis set-up unit 40; and an analysis unit 50. The image acquisition unit 20 is configured to acquire a three-dimensional nuclear medical image of a head part including a linear body of a human subject. The reference point specification unit 30 is configured to specify a reference point on the basis of pixel intensity of the three-dimensional nuclear medical image inside a linear body area corresponding to a linear body of at least one of a left and right. The axis set-up unit 40 is configured to set up a reference axis passing through the reference point and extending in a long-side direction of the linear body area, and the analysis unit 50 is configured to analyze a distribution characteristic 52 of the pixel intensity in the inside of the linear body area along the reference axis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
