Abstract
There is provided a medical display control apparatus including: a display control section configured to control a display of a medical captured image for a right eye and a medical captured image for a left eye captured by an imaging device that images an observation target on a display screen and a display of a pointer object on the display screen. The display control section causes the pointer object to be displayed in correspondence with a depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye.
Claims16
A medical display control apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- control a display of a medical captured image for a right eye and a medical captured image for a left eye captured by an imaging device that images an observation target on a display screen at a depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- before receiving a region deciding operation that decides a region pointed out by a pointer object, control a display of the pointer object on the display screen at a depth position in front of the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- move the pointer object in accordance with a move operation that moves the pointer object, while keeping the depth position of the pointer object to be in front of the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- set at least one of a shape and a size of the pointer object in accordance with a region setting operation that sets the at least one of the shape and the size of the pointer object, while keeping the depth position of the pointer object to be in front of the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- and
- in response to receiving the region deciding operation, cause the pointer object to be displayed in correspondence with the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye at a location designated by the move operation and with the at least one of the shape and the size of the pointer object designated by the region setting operation, and cause the depth position of the pointer object to correspond with the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye.

A display control method executed by a medical display control apparatus, the display control method comprising:
- controlling a display of a medical captured image for a right eye and a medical captured image for a left eye captured by an imaging device that images an observation target on a display screen at a depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- before receiving a region deciding operation that decides a region pointed out by a pointer object, control a display of the pointer object on the display screen at a depth position in front of the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- moving the pointer object in accordance with a move operation that moves the pointer object, while keeping the depth position of the pointer object to be in front of the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- setting at least one of a shape and a size of the pointer object in accordance with a region setting operation that sets the at least one of the shape and the size of the pointer object, while keeping the depth position of the pointer object to be in front of the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye;
- and
- in response to receiving the region deciding operation, causing, using processing circuitry, the pointer object to be displayed in correspondence with the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye at a location designated by the move operation and with the at least one of the shape and the size of the pointer object designated by the region setting operation, and causing the depth position of the pointer object to correspond with the depth position of the medical captured image for the right eye and the medical captured image for the left eye.
