Abstract
According to an embodiment, an image analyzing device includes a first acquirer, a constructor, a first calculator, a second calculator, and a third calculator. The first acquirer is configured to acquire image information on a joint of a subject and bones connected to the joint. The constructor is configured to construct a three-dimensional shape of the bones and the joint, and relation characteristics between a load and deformation in the bones and the joint from the image information. The first calculator is configured to calculate a positional relation between the bones connected to the joint. The second calculator is configured to calculate acting force of a muscle acting on the bones connected to the joint based on the positional relation. The third calculator is configured to calculate first stress acting on the joint based on the three-dimensional shape, the relation characteristics, and the acting force.
