Title:
IMAGE DIAGNOSIS DEVICE AND IMAGE DIAGNOSIS METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/125715
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a configuration for generating a high-quality ultrasonic image by dynamically setting an image capture parameter suitable for the observation of an attention region on a subject while maintaining the operability for changing the position/posture of a probe. An attention region acquisition unit (1010) acquires region information defining an attention region. A position/posture acquisition unit (1020) acquires position/posture information indicating the position/posture of a probe. A parameter determination unit (1022) determines an image capture parameter on the basis of the positional relationship between an image capture range determined on the basis of the position/posture information and the attention region defined by the region information, and outputs the determined image capture parameter to an image capturing unit (1100).
