Patent ID: 7436990

Claim:
A blood flow dynamic analyzing apparatus, comprising: an input means which inputs a tomogram acquired by tomogram imaging means; a first calculating means which determines a time-concentration curve indicative of information on a temporal variation in each pixel of the tomogram input by the input means; a second calculating means which determines a time-concentration curve for an inflow artery from the time-concentration curve for each pixel of the tomogram determined by the first calculating means; a third calculating means which generates an inverse filtering function from the time-concentration curve for the inflow artery extracted by the second calculating means; a fourth calculating means which generates a transfer function for each pixel of the tomogram on the basis of the reverse filtering function generated by the third calculating means and the time-concentration curve for each pixel of the tomogram determined by the first calculating means; and a fifth calculating means which forms a blood flow dynamic analysis image by using the transfer function for each pixel of the tomogram generated by the fourth calculating means.
