Abstract
A medical image display apparatus determines a priority order of each of medical image data based on a display direction of a body model and an imaging direction of the medical image data. The medical image display apparatus displays each of the medical image data on the body model according to the priority order of the medical image data.
Claims14
A medical image display apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to control:
- a display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display each of medical image data at a position on a body model corresponding to a respective imaging site of each of the medical image data, the medical image data including data obtained in different imaging directions, and
- a determination unit configured to determine a priority order of each of the medical image data based on a display direction of the body model and an imaging direction of each of the medical image data,
- wherein the display control unit causes the display unit to display each of the medical image data on the body model according to the determined priority order of each of the medical image data,
- wherein the determination unit changes the priority order according to a change of the display direction of the body model by moving the body model,
- wherein the determination unit determines the priority order so that, as the imaging direction gets closer to the display direction of the body model, the priority order becomes higher,
- wherein the display control unit causes the display unit to redisplay each of the medical image data on the moved body model according to the changed priority order,
- wherein the higher priority order the medical image data has, the larger the medical image data is displayed, and
- wherein a color of the medical image data is changed according to the priority order.
