Information processing apparatus and information processing method
An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit acquires a measurement field corresponding to a spatial distribution of a predetermined physical quantity in a subject of measurement. The processing circuit calculates an unknown quantity in the subject of measurement based on a first equation between the measurement field and the unknown quantity having spatial dependence, and on the acquired measurement field. The first equation is one that is acquired based on a second equation expressing a dual field divergence of which can be expressed using the measurement field, by using the measurement field and the unknown quantity, and on the Helmholtz decomposition of the dual field.

Method for measuring corpus callosum volume of fetus by means of magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging apparatus
Techniques are disclosed for measuring the corpus callosum volume of a fetus using magnetic resonance imaging. A scanogram of a fetus is acquired, and a detection area is determined using the corpus callosum position of the fetus in the scanogram. Magnetic resonance scanning is performed on the detection area to obtain a diffusion weighted image, with a gradient direction that is orthogonal or normal to an extending direction of fiber bundles of the corpus callosum. A fetal head image is cropped in the diffusion weighted image, and a predetermined threshold is applied to obtain an image including pixels having a brightness value that is greater than the threshold. Image processing is performed on the binarized image, with the largest region therein being identified as the corpus callosum, and the sum of voxel dimensions associated with the signal of the largest region being calculated as the corpus callosum volume.
