Abstract
With the present invention, using the schematic depiction of the tubular tissue in which the run path of the tubular tissue is adjusted so that the tubular tissues may not overlap, the information of the tubular tissue acquired from the volume image (three-dimensional image) is mapped onto this schematic depiction and displayed on the display device, whereby it is possible for the user to confirm all the information of the tubular tissue at a glance without need of performing an operation of rotating the displayed image in grasping the overall image of the tubular image.
Claims11
A medical image display apparatus comprising:
- an extraction device which extracts a tubular tissue from a volume image of a subject;
- an information acquisition device which acquires an information of the extracted tubular tissue;
- a position information acquisition device which extracts an anatomical first feature point of the extracted tubular tissue and acquires a three-dimensional positional information of the first feature point;
- a storage device which stores a two-dimensional schematic depiction of the tubular tissue in which a run path of the tubular tissue is adjusted so that tubular tissues to be displayed may not overlap, the schematic depiction being associated with a positional information on the schematic depiction of an anatomical second feature point of the tubular tissues to be displayed;
- a mapping device which associates the first feature point with the second feature point and maps the acquired information of the tubular tissue to a corresponding position of the schematic depiction, based on a positional information of each of the associated feature points;
- and
- a display control device which displays the schematic depiction read from the storage device on a display device and displays the mapped information of the tubular tissue on the display device.
A medical image display program causing a computer to execute the functions of:
- extracting a tubular tissue from a volume image of a subject;
- acquiring an information of the extracted tubular tissue;
- extracting an anatomical first feature point of the extracted tubular tissue and acquiring the three-dimensional positional information of the first feature point;
- associating the first feature point with an anatomical second feature point of the tubular tissues to be displayed by using a two-dimensional schematic depiction of the tubular tissue stored in a storage device, the schematic depiction in which a run path of the tubular tissue is adjusted so that tubular tissues to be displayed may not overlap and a positional information on the schematic depiction of the second feature point;
- mapping the acquired information of the tubular tissue to a corresponding position of the schematic depiction, based on a positional information of each of the associated feature points;
- and
- displaying the schematic depiction read from the storage device on a display device and displaying the mapped information of the tubular tissue on the display device.
