Abstract
A rib extraction unit extracts a rib from a three-dimensional image, a core line setting unit sets a core line of the rib, and a specific axis direction determination unit determines a specific axis direction in a cross section crossing the core line of the rib. An image generation unit moves a position of the core line in the specific axis direction according to an instruction to move the core line in the specific axis direction and generates a developed image of at least one rib based on a cross section along the core line at the moved position.
Claims8
A rib developed image generation apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- extract at least one rib from a three-dimensional image including ribs;
- set a core line of the at least one rib;
- determine a specific axis direction in a cross section crossing the core line of the at least one rib;
- and
- move a position of the core line in the specific axis direction according to an instruction to move the core line in the specific axis direction and generate a developed image of the at least one rib based on a cross section along the core line at the moved position.
A rib developed image generation method, comprising:
- extracting at least one rib from a three-dimensional image including ribs;
- setting a core line of the at least one rib;
- determining a specific axis direction in a cross section crossing the core line of the at least one rib;
- and
- moving a position of the core line in the specific axis direction according to an instruction to move the core line in the specific axis direction and generating a developed image of the at least one rib based on a cross section along the core line at the moved position.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a rib developed image generation program causing a computer to execute:
- extracting at least one rib from a three-dimensional image including ribs;
- setting a core line of the at least one rib;
- determining a specific axis direction in a cross section crossing the core line of the at least one rib;
- and
- moving a position of the core line in the specific axis direction according to an instruction to move the core line in the specific axis direction and generating a developed image of the at least one rib based on a cross section along the core line at the moved position.
