Abstract

A dynamic analysis system includes an imaging unit, an attenuation process unit and an analysis unit. The imaging unit images a dynamic state of a subject, thereby generating a plurality of frame images showing the dynamic state of the subject. The attenuation process unit performs an attenuation process to attenuate an image signal component of a product in the frame images. The analysis unit analyzes the dynamic state of the subject based on the frame images after the attenuation process.

Claims (10)

1. A dynamic analysis system that analyzes a plurality of frame images showing a dynamic state of a chest of a subject, comprising:

an operation unit to select a region in a lung field region of the subject; and

an analysis unit that calculates a characteristic amount of indicating a local motion in the lung field region, wherein

the analysis unit calculates, based on the selected region and the calculated characteristic amount, a ratio of the characteristic amount in an unselected region except the selected region from the lung field region that is an entire lung field region to the characteristic amount in the entire lung field region.

2. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristic amount indicating the local motion in the lung field region is the characteristic amount indicating a ventilation function or a bloodstream function in the lung field region.

3. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristic amount indicating the local motion in the lung field region is the characteristic amount indicating local signal change in the lung field region.

4. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 3 , wherein

the characteristic amount indicating the local signal change in the lung field region is an inter-frame difference value, and

the analysis unit calculates a ratio of an integrated value of the inter-frame difference value of the unselected region except the selected region from the entire lung field region to an integrated value of the inter-frame difference value of the entire lung field region.

5. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 1 , further comprising a display unit that displays an analysis result based on the ratio calculated by the analysis unit.
