Abstract:
The invention improves the quality of image diagnosis by a user. An image processing unit compares each pixel value of a perfusion image with a threshold, and extracts a lesion candidate region as a collateral circulation candidate or bypass blood vessel candidate from the perfusion image based on a comparison result. The image processing unit displays the lesion candidate region together with a blood vessel image representing the spatial distribution of blood vessels in a head.
