Abstract:
1. An image processing device which applies a predetermined processing algorithm to a medical image so as to perform an image processing, comprising: a storage unit that calculates reference characteristic curve data in which pixel values are computed centered on any point of a region of interest for a reference image, and stores the reference characteristic curve data and a part in correlation with each other in advance; a calculation unit that calculates target characteristic curve data in which pixel values are computed centered on any point of a region of interest for a processing target image; a comparison unit that compares the target characteristic curve data calculated by the calculation unit with the reference characteristic curve data stored in the storage unit; a selection unit that selects a part stored in correlation with reference characteristic curve data having high correlation with the target characteristic curve data from the storage unit on the basis of a result of the comparison by the comparison unit; and an image processing unit that performs image processing to which a processing algorithm corresponding to the part selected by the selection unit is applied.
