Medical image display apparatus and medical image display method

摘要

To retrieve a desired image from plural types of successive images arranged based on various physical quantities, a cuboid object that is an assembly of multiple unit cells is displayed on a display device, a successive image group is arranged according to the physical quantities of the three axes of the cuboid object that are respectively the body-axis direction position, the first time phase intervals, and the second time phase intervals narrower than the first time phase intervals, and the respective images included in the successive image group and the respective unit cells are associated on one-to-one basis and stored in a main memory. When a three-dimensional position in the cuboid object is input by a mouse operation etc., the CPU retrieves one or multiple images associated with one or multiple unit cells determined according to the input three-dimensional position from the main memory and displays the images in an image display region.

主权项

1. A medical image display device that displays medical images, comprising:
a display unit displaying a cuboid object that is an assembly of multiple unit cells; a storage unit memorizing images included in a successive image group and corresponding to respective unit cells, each unit cell of the cuboid object being associated on one-to-one basis with a corresponding image according to predetermined physical quantities for the respective three directions of the three axes of the cuboid object; an input unit inputting a three-dimensional position in the cuboid object, and a control unit controlling so that one or multiple images associated with one or multiple unit cells determined according to the three-dimensional position input from the input unit are retrieved from the storage unit and are displayed on the display unit, wherein the input unit inputs the three-dimensional position in the cuboid object using a positioning line, and the control unit controls so that the display unit displays the positioning line superimposed on the cuboid object, and wherein the input unit inputs a line width of the positioning line, and the control unit controls so that the number of images that the display unit displays is changed according to the line width of the positioning line that is input by the input unit.
