Abstract
The image quantifying method and apparatus perform quantification from two-dimensional digital image information. The method and apparatus set a background region which is not including a region of interest around the region of interest to be quantified in a two-dimensional image based on the two-dimensional digital image information, determine a statistical distribution of pixel-based intensity for all pixels in the background region, determine an average intensity of the region of interest which serves as a reference for finding the region of interest significant from a statistical quantity obtained from the statistical distribution and test the region of interest for its significance based on the determined reference average intensity. By the method and apparatus, even a region of interest having low intensity can be tested for its significance in a sufficiently rational and correct manner to realize correct quantitative treatment and analysis of the image in that region of interest.
