Image processing device and ultrosonic diagnostic device

An area dividing unit 103 divides an ultrasound image into sub-areas in accordance with an initial contour. An evaluation value calculating unit 104 calculates evaluation values on the basis of information which includes, for example, brightness value-related information (e.g. contrast distribution)...

Zusammenfassung:An area dividing unit 103 divides an ultrasound image into sub-areas in accordance with an initial contour. An evaluation value calculating unit 104 calculates evaluation values on the basis of information which includes, for example, brightness value-related information (e.g. contrast distribution) and position-related information (e.g. a distance from a reference point) of each of the sub-areas, and shape-related information (e.g. presence/absence of an edge). An area selecting unit 106 selects one or more sub-areas according to the calculated evaluation values. An each area processing unit 105 performs image processing appropriate to the selected sub-areas. An image reconstructing unit 107 reconstructs the ultrasound image using the sub-areas for which image processing has been performed.
