Abstract:
Magnetic susceptibility is calculated with high accuracy without significant increase of calculation time. Provided is an image processing device comprising an image processor for creating a susceptibility image representing a magnetic susceptibility of at least one tissue of the subject, from an image created on the basis of magnetic resonance signals generated from a subject, wherein the image processor includes an image separator configured to separate from the image, a specific tissue image representing a content of a predetermined specific tissue and a frequency image, an adder-subtractor configured to calculate a post-subtraction frequency image obtained by subtracting from the frequency image, frequency change caused by the specific tissue, and an image converter configured to calculate a specific susceptibility image representing the magnetic susceptibility of the specific tissue on the basis of the specific tissue image, and to calculate a post-subtraction susceptibility image on the basis of the post-subtraction frequency image.
