Claim:
1. A tomographic image analyzing apparatus for analyzing dynamic distribution images, which are tomographic images, acquired at a slice plane of a brain at different times over a predetermined period of time to show a distribution of a radioactive drug through the brain, the apparatus comprising: a storage device storing beforehand standard data showing a shape of a standard brain; a distribution image standardizing device transforming a form of the brain in the dynamic distribution images into a form of the standard brain shown in the standard data by selecting one image in which the form of the brain is recognizable from the dynamic distribution images and by comparing the form of the brain in the one image and the form of the standard brain, whereby the dynamic distribution images are converted to standardized distribution images showing the distribution of the radioactive drug; and an analyzing device carrying out an analysis of time variations of radioactive drug distribution based on the standardized distribution images.
