Abstract
There is provided an image display device capable of easily checking an enormous number of tomograms. Display synthesis means (326) synthesizes continuous n tomograms from an enormous number of tomograms and causes tomogram display means (323) to display the synthesized image. Thus, the number of tomograms to be displayed becomes 1/n. Thus, it is possible to easily check the enormous number of tomograms of series data. Moreover, since no thinning of tomograms is performed, it is possible to prevent oversight of necessary information.
Claims15
An image display device comprising:
- tomographic image storing means for storing series data formed of a number of successive tomographic images;
- tomographic image displaying means for displaying the stored tomographic images;
- switching operation means for receiving an input operation to switch the tomographic images in a continuous forward or rearward direction;
- image switching means for switching the displayed tomographic images in the successive forward or rearward direction in accordance with the input operation;
- and
- display combining means for combining n (where n means a natural number equal to or larger than two) successive images of the tomographic images, and for causing the tomographic image displaying means to display the combined image.
A method of displaying an image in an image display device which stores series data formed of a number of successive tomographic images, displays the stored tomographic images, receives an input operation for switching the tomographic images in a continuous forward or rearward direction, and switches the displayed tomographic images in the successive forward or rearward direction in accordance with the input operation, comprising the step of combining n successive images of the tomographic images and displaying the combined image.
A computer program for an image display device which stores series data formed of a number of successive tomographic images, displays the stored tomographic images, receives an input operation for switching the tomographic images in a continuous forward or rearward direction, and switches the displayed tomographic images in the successive forward or rearward direction in accordance with the input operation,
- the computer program causing the image display device to combine n successive images of the tomographic images and display the combined image.
