Abstract
An image processor which can accurately and promptly obtain information about a ventricle of a living body, such as the boundary diagram, the volume, the centroid movement view and a three-dimensional view. An X-ray projection of a part to be diagnosed is quantized. The boundary and centroid of the part are obtained from the optimal ternary data using the variance of the gray-level of the image and the separation degree of a histogram. The volume and three-dimensional view of the part are obtained from this data using the gray-level method.
