ABSTRACT:
When a motion in an internal body is analyzed by employing a tomographic image, a relative motion in an internal body is analyzed by moving a viewing point to an arbitrary place. The present invention is composed of: a tomographic image acquisition device1for acquiring a tomographic image of a subject targeted for observation; a motion analysis device2to which the tomographic image acquisition device1is connected, the analysis device performing a motion analysis from the tomographic image obtained by the tomographic image acquisition device1; and a display device3connected to the motion analysis device2, the display device displaying data outputted by the motion analysis device2. The motion analysis device2includes image processing means4for processing the tomographic image obtained by the tomographic image acquisition device1, point specification means5for specifying a plurality of arbitrary points on the tomographic image after image processing by the image processing means4, viewing point conversion means6for converting a motion of a point serving as an observation point to a motion obtained by defining a point other than the observation point as a viewing point from among the plurality of points specified by the point specification means5, and data output means7for outputting data obtained by the viewing point conversion means6.
