- the subcutaneous fat rank determining unit 51 and the visceral fat rank determining unit 53 store the measured subcutaneous fat amount and visceral fat amount in the subcutaneous fat threshold storage unit 294 and the visceral fat threshold storage unit 295, respectively.
- the rank of each index is determined by comparing with a threshold value.
- the plot position determination unit 55 determines a plot position representing a position indicating a measurement result on the matrix, based on the determined subcutaneous fat mass rank and visceral fat mass rank.
- the writing unit 59 performs processing for displaying the measurement result using the read format.
- format read unit 57 reads the format data of FIG. 18 in step S501.
- step S503 the subcutaneous fat rank determination unit 51 compares the subcutaneous fat amount calculated in step S7 with the subcutaneous fat threshold value stored in the subcutaneous fat threshold value storage unit 294 to calculate the subcutaneous fat value. Determine the rank to which the quantity belongs.
- step S505 the visceral fat rank determination unit 53 is calculated by comparing the visceral fat amount calculated in step S7 with the visceral fat threshold value stored in the visceral fat threshold value storage unit 295. Determine the rank to which the visceral fat mass belongs.
- step S507 the plot position determination unit 55 determines the position defined by the ranks determined in steps S503 and S505 on the matrix constituted by each index as the plot position.
- step S509 the writing unit 59 Image synthesis of the area 701 on the format of FIG. 18 read in step S501 is performed. Specifically, the writing unit 59 displays a CT image of a typical abdominal cross section previously associated with each position at each position of the matrix, and further displays a CT image at a position corresponding to the plot position. The images are combined so that an image representing the plot position is superimposed on the image (solid line circle image in the example of FIG. 20) and displayed.
- step S511 the subcutaneous fat mass and visceral fat mass are read out as the previous measurement results stored in the measurement result storage unit 296, and the ranks are determined in the same manner as in steps S503 to S509.
- the plot position is determined later, and the image is synthesized so that an image representing the plot position indicating the previous measurement result is superimposed and displayed on the CT image at the corresponding position on the matrix, similarly to step S509.
- the previous measurement result is shown as an image different from the current measurement result (in the example of FIG. 20, a dotted circle image). More preferably, as shown in FIG. 20, an image (an arrow image in the example of FIG. 20) that shows the transition from the position of the previous measurement result to the position of the current measurement result is superimposed on the matrix.
- step S511 the level determined based on the current calculation result in the display processing unit 12 is compared with the level of the previous measurement result. If there is no difference between them, that is, the previous time If there is no change in the state of the abdominal fat from to this time, it is not necessary to display the previous measurement result.
- step S513 the writing unit 59 synthesizes the visceral fat mass and the subcutaneous fat mass calculated in step S7 with the format data so as to be displayed in the format areas 703 and 704, respectively. Further, in step S515, the writing unit 59 corresponds to display the CT image associated with the position corresponding to the position determined as the plot position in step S507 on the matrix also in the format area 702. Image data is read and combined with format data.
- step S517 the display processing unit 12 performs a drawing process so that the measurement result display format data obtained by the above process is used as display data, and the series of processes ends.
- the apparatus main body 100 can display the measurement result of the subject only by performing processing for comparison with the threshold value. Can be displayed along with general trends. At that time, by displaying the transition from the previous measurement result as in the above example, it is also possible to display the tendency of the subject's subcutaneous fat, visceral fat and the like to change. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, by using a format for displaying a typical CT image in advance, even if the apparatus main body 100 is not equipped with a CT imaging function or is not connected to a CT imaging apparatus.
- a CT image corresponding to the measurement result of the subject that is, a CT image close to the abdominal section of the subject can be provided.
- the measurer can visually grasp the state of the subject's subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and the like as compared with the case where the measurement result is displayed only by numerical values and graphs. Further, by comparing with other CT images, it is possible to relatively grasp the state of the subject's subcutaneous fat, visceral fat and the like. As a result, the motivation for improving obesity, which is the center of lifestyle-related diseases, is effective for the subject.
- the CT image of the abdominal cross section is stored.
- the CT image is not necessarily limited to the CT image itself of the subject, and is an image synthesized as shown in the second embodiment. It may be.
- a representative CT image at each position on the matrix is displayed in the area 701.
- at least a position corresponding to the position determined as the plot position in step S507 is associated with the area 701.
- only the CT image associated with the plot position and the position corresponding to the determined position and the surrounding CT images may be displayed.
- the format of FIG. 18 is an example and is not limited.
- the measurement result of the subject is displayed at a position on the matrix where the vertical axis is the visceral fat mass rank and the horizontal axis is the subcutaneous fat mass rank.
- the vertical axis is the visceral fat mass rank and the horizontal axis is the subcutaneous fat mass rank.
- it may be the length and breadth of the abdomen, the lean mass, the ratio between the visceral fat mass and the subcutaneous fat mass, the abdominal circumference (waist circumference), and the like.
- threshold values necessary for ranking the measured values of subjects according to the vertical and horizontal axes of the matrix are stored in the memory unit 29.
- the measurement result may correspond to subject information such as gender and age.
