The present invention provides a measurement system and an image
processing system for quantitatively figuring out the fiber bundles which
are passing through any VOI. A static magnetic field and an RF signal are
applied to a subject, and a nuclear magnetic resonance signal is received
from the subject (401). Diffusion tensor is calculated from the nuclear
magnetic resonance signals (402). As to a target area for receiving the
nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the subject, fiber bundles passing
through multiple predetermined origins, respectively, are extracted in a
form of a group of coordinate points for each of the fiber bundles, based
on the diffusion tensor calculated by the calculating means (406). At
least one VOI is set for the target area for receiving the nuclear
magnetic resonance signal (408). Out of the multiple fiber bundles
extracted by the fiber bundle extracting means, the fiber bundles having
at least one coordinate point of the group of coordinate points being
included in the VOI are discriminated and the number of which is counted
(409).
