Abstract
A system and a method for displaying a three dimensional image and also a method for displaying a three dimensional image by selecting a ROI on at least two selected reference images from the input images obtained by scanning a body. The method is characterized in that to use distance images based on the reference value along a periphery of a selected ROI on an image slice, an interpolated ROI is used on the interposed slice image.
Claims18
A system for displaying a three dimensional image, the system comprising:
- a display;
- an image memory for storing a plurality of slice images, each of said slice images are successively arranged;
- a reference image selection means for selecting at least two reference images between which is interposed at least one additional image;
- reference ROI selecting means for selecting at least one reference ROI on each of said at least two reference images;
- and
- additional ROI decision means for selecting an additional ROI of the interposed additional image based on both the sizes of said references ROI selected on each of said reference images and a distance between one of said at least two reference images and said at least one additional image.
A method for displaying a three dimensional image, the method comprising the steps of:
- selectively displaying on a display at least two reference images between which is interposed at least one additional image;
- selecting at least one reference ROI on each of said at least two reference images;
- selecting an additional ROI of the interposed additional image based on both the sizes of said references ROI selected on each of said reference images and a distance between one of said at least two reference images and said at least one additional image.
A method for displaying a three dimensional image, the method comprising the steps of:
- displaying on a display at least two reference images having a sampling pitch and between which is the interposed at least one additional image,
- selecting a reference ROI on said at least two reference images, and
- selecting an additional ROI of the interposed additional image based on both the sizes of said references ROI selected on each of said reference images and a distance between one of said at least two reference images and said at least one additional image.
