Abstract
An interlobar position specifying unit specifies an interlobar position in a lung field area included in a three-dimensional image. An expansion unit expands a plane area at the interlobar position in a thickness direction to generate an expansion area including an interlobar membrane. A projection processing unit processes the expansion area by a projection method that emphasizes the interlobar membrane to generate a projection image. The display control unit displays the projection image on a display.
Claims8
An interlobar membrane display apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- specify an interlobar position in a lung field area included in a three-dimensional image;
- extend a plane area at the interlobar position in a thickness direction to generate an expansion area including an interlobar membrane;
- processes the expansion area by a projection method that emphasizes the interlobar membrane to generate a projection image;
- and
- display the projection image on a display.
An interlobar membrane display method comprising:
- specifying an interlobar position in a lung field area included in a three-dimensional image;
- expanding a plane area at the interlobar position in a thickness direction to generate an expansion area including an interlobar membrane;
- processing the expansion area by a projection method that emphasizes the interlobar membrane to generate a projection image;
- and
- displaying the projection image on a display.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores an interlobar membrane display program causing a computer to execute:
- a procedure of specifying an interlobar position in a lung field area included in a three-dimensional image;
- a procedure of expanding a plane area at the interlobar position in a thickness direction to generate an expansion area including an interlobar membrane;
- a procedure of processing the expansion area by a projection method that emphasizes the interlobar membrane to generate a projection image;
- and
- a procedure of displaying the projection image on a display.
