PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve quality of a diagnosis index showing a persons obesity state.SOLUTION: Tomographic images G1, G2, ..., showing two or more cross sections in an abdominal areas Hb of a subject H are used to obtain a distribution of a subcutaneous fat areas Fp in the abdominal area Hb and a distribution of visceral fat areas Fo. The two kinds of distributions related to the subject H are compared with two kinds of distributions related to a human body model M that are obtained in advance and that correspond to the two kinds of distributions, and a diagnosis index showing an obesity state of the subject H is obtained.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】人の肥満の状態を示す診断指標の品質を高める。【解決手段】被験者Hの腹部領域Hb中の2つ以上の断面を示す断面画像G1、G2・・・を用いて、腹部領域Hb中の皮下脂肪領域Fpの分布と内臓脂肪領域Foの分布とを求める。被験者Hに関する上記2種類の分布と、その2種類の分布に対応する予め求めておいた人体モデルMについての2種類の分布とを比較して、被験者Hの肥満の状態を示す診断指標を得る。【選択図】図2
