Publication number: 20090318807Abstract: The schedule memory unit 23 memorizes a time schedule set in advance for saving images. The avascularization unit 30 compresses the subject's brachial region to avascularize the brachial artery, releases the avascularization after a predetermined period of time, and simultaneously transmits a decompression start signal to the controller 17. The controller 17 stores an ultrasonic image in the image storage unit 22 at a point in time when a period of time specified by the time schedule has elapsed after the decompression start signal was received. The vascular diameter measuring unit 18 determines the vascular diameters based on the ultrasonic tomography images of a blood vessel at rest and after the release of the avascularization which are stored in the image storage unit 22. Based on those diameter values, the largest vascular diameter deducing unit 20 and the % FMD calculation unit 21 perform the deduction of the largest after-release vascular diameter and the calculation of the % FMD, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2006Publication date: December 24, 2009Applicants: Shimadzu Corporation, MEDIA CROSS CO., LTDInventors: Jun-ichi Katoh, Masao Itoh
