Abstract
In a CPR image generation apparatus, method, and program, a CPR image is generated so as to include a region of interest, such as a branch, a myocardium, a plaque, and a lesion. A structure extraction unit 22 extracts a coronary artery region 30 from a three-dimensional image G0. A cross section setting unit 23 sets a cross section Pk perpendicular to a reference line L0 for each point on the reference line L0 in the coronary artery region 30. In a case where a region of interest is present on each cross section Pk, a cutting plane determination unit 24 determines one cutting plane Ck in each cross section including the reference line L0 and the region of interest. An image generation unit 25 generates a CPR image G10 including the cutting plane Ck.
Claims20
A CPR image generation apparatus, comprising:
- a structure extraction unit that extracts a target structure from a three-dimensional image acquired by imaging;
- a cross section setting unit that sets a cross section perpendicular to a reference line of the target structure at each point on the reference line;
- a cutting plane determination unit that determines one cutting plane in each cross section, which includes the reference line and a region of interest, in a case where the region of interest is present on each cross section;
- and
- an image generation unit that generates a CPR image including the cutting plane in each cross section.
A CPR image generation method, comprising:
- extracting a target structure from a three-dimensional image acquired by imaging;
- setting a cross section perpendicular to a reference line of the target structure at each point on the reference line;
- determining one cutting plane in each cross section, which includes the reference line and a region of interest, in a case where the region of interest is present on each cross section;
- and
- generating a CPR image including the cutting plane in each cross section.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a CPR image generation program causing a computer to execute:
- a step of extracting a target structure from a three-dimensional image acquired by imaging;
- a step of setting a cross section perpendicular to a reference line of the target structure at each point on the reference line;
- a step of determining one cutting plane in each cross section, which includes the reference line and a region of interest, in a case where the region of interest is present on each cross section;
- and
- a step of generating a CPR image including the cutting plane in each cross section.
