IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF ESTIMATING AN INFLUENCE ON A VISUAL FUNCTION BASED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF LESION UNDER A RETINA, AN IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND A STORAGE MEDIUM
PURPOSE: An image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a storage medium are provided to determine an influence on a visual function by only using a tomogram of an eye portion by quantifying positional relation with a predetermined site and the distribution state of a lesion position.CONSTITUTION: A tomogram acquiring unit(110) is formed in order to acquire a tomogram of an eye portion of a tested subject. An information acquiring unit is formed in order to acquire information about a predetermined site and the location information about a predetermined organizational structure from the tomogram. A calculation unit calculates an evaluation value based on the relation between the information about the predetermined site and the location information about the predetermined organizational structure. An image processing unit(130) comprises an eye portion feature acquiring unit(131), a lesion detecting unit(132), and a time function influence determination unit(133). The time function influence determination unit comprises a time function recoverability determination unit(1331) and a time function prediction unit(1332).COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012화상 처리 장치는, 피검체의 안부의 단층상을 취득하도록 구성된 취득 유닛, 단층상으로부터 소정의 부위의 정보와 소정의 조직 구조의 위치 정보를 취득하도록 구성된 정보 취득 유닛, 및 소정의 부위의 정보와 소정의 조직 구조의 위치 간의 관계에 기초하여 평가값을 산출하도록 구성된 산출 유닛을 포함한다.
