IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE, METHOD AND PROGRAM

摘要

In the present invention, when a 3D medical image is displayed on a 3D display, the position of accompanying information displayed at the same time is appropriately controlled. The position of the accompanying information in the coordinate system of a 3D signal value that is an item to be drawn is computed, and said position is saved in a storage unit. By integrating a 3D data area and an accompanying information area, a drawing process unit generates an output image to be displayed in a display unit, said 3D data area being drawn for an area specified by mask information that specifies an area to be drawn among an array of the 3D signal value that is the item to be drawn, and being drawn on the basis of information that specifies a drawing method for a 2D image based on the 3D signal value array, and said accompanying information area being drawn for the accompanying information, which is associated with the item to be drawn, and being drawn on the basis of position information for the accompanying information determined by a drawing control unit. The display unit displays the drawn output image.

主权项

1. An image display device, comprising:
a display unit that displays an output image that has been drawn; a storage unit that has stored an array of 3D signal values that is a drawing object, mask information for designating an object area for drawing in the array of the 3D signal values, information for designating a drawing method for a 2D image based on the array of the 3D signal values, accompanying information that has been related to the drawing object, information on arrangement and display plans that has been set for the accompanying information, and information relevant to characteristics of the display unit; a drawing control unit that computes the position of the accompanying information in a coordinate system of the 3D signal value that is to be the drawing object on the basis of the mask information, the information for designating the drawing method for the 2D image, the information on the arrangement and display plans and the information relevant to the characteristics of the display unit and stores it into the storage unit; and a drawing processing unit that generates an output image to be displayed on the display unit by integrating together a 3D data area to be drawn on the basis of the information for designating the drawing method for the 2D image for the area that has been designated by the mask information in the array of 3D signal values that is the drawing object, and an accompanying information area to be drawn on the basis of information on the position of the accompanying information that has been determined by the drawing control unit for the accompanying information.
