PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display an image indicating directions specifically determined for each region from an anatomical point of view in a medical diagnostic imaging apparatus. SOLUTION: A main control unit 15 receives specification of a reference plane for which the cross section of a region of an object is imaged from an operator via an input unit 11, and a coordinate system setting unit 16 specifies the kind of the region cross sectional image of the reference plane to be one of an axial plane, a sagittal plane and a coronal plane. Also, the coordinate system setting unit 16 specifies vertical, horizontal, and anteroposterior directions on the reference plane and sets a region coordinate system based on the anatomical characteristic of the region on the basis of the specified kind of the reference plane and the respective specified directions on the reference plane. Further, the main control unit 15 stores information about relationship between a patient coordinate system based on the posture during imaging of the subject and the region coordinate system in association with an image stored by a storage unit 14.
