Abstract
A scoliosis diagnosis assistance device includes: a first shape information acquisition module configured to acquire back shape information representing the three-dimensional shape of a back of a subject; a second shape information acquisition module configured to acquire minor-symmetry information representing a three-dimensional shape having a minor-symmetry relationship with the three-dimensional shape of the back of the subject with respect to a sagittal plane of the three-dimensional shape; a deviation distribution acquisition module configured to acquire a distribution of deviation between the three-dimensional shape represented by the back shape information and the three-dimensional shape represented by the mirror-symmetry information; and an output controller configured to cause a display to display the distribution of deviation, for example.
