Abstract
A method of displaying a medical image includes: obtaining a first image and a second image that are images of an object captured by using an X-ray; generating a synthesis image by overlapping a first overlapped region of the first image and a second overlapped region of the second image; obtaining information about synthesis accuracy representing a degree to which overlapped portions of the object represented by the first overlapped region and the second overlapped region coincide with each other; and displaying the information about the synthesis accuracy and the synthesis image together.
Claims18
A method of displaying a medical image, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image of a first region of an object;
- obtaining a second image of a second region, different from the first region, of the object, wherein the first and second images are images captured by using an X-ray, and the first region has an overlap with the second region;
- generating a synthesis image by overlapping a first image region of the first image and a second image region of the second image;
- obtaining first information about synthesis accuracy, the synthesis accuracy representing a degree to which the first image region and the second image region coincide with each other in representing a portion of the object within the overlap of the first region with the second region;
- comparing the synthesis accuracy with a threshold value;
- and
- when the synthesis accuracy is lower than the threshold value, displaying a screen including the synthesis image and an icon, which is displayed on a region corresponding to an overlapping region of the synthesis image in which the first image region of the first image is overlapped with the second image region of the second image, for executing a mode manually generating a synthesis image.
An apparatus for displaying a medical image, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- obtain a first image of a first region of an object,
- obtain a second image of a second region, different from the first region, of the object, wherein the first and second images are images captured by using an X-ray, and the first region has an overlap with the second region,
- generate a synthesis image by overlapping a first image region of the first region and a second image region of the second region,
- obtain first information about synthesis accuracy, the synthesis accuracy representing a degree to which the first image region and the second image region coincide with each other in representing a portion of the object within the overlap of the first region with the second region;
- compare the synthesis accuracy with a threshold value;
- and
- a display configured to display a screen,
- wherein, when the synthesis accuracy is lower than the threshold value, the processor is further configured to control the display to display the synthesis image and an icon, which is displayed on a region corresponding to an overlapping region of the synthesis image in which the first image region of the first image is overlapped with the second image region of the second image, for executing a mode manually generating a synthesis image.
