Method of displaying virtual ruler on separate image or medical image of object, medical image obtaining apparatus, and method and apparatus for displaying separate image or medical image with virtual ruler

摘要

A method of displaying a virtual ruler on separate images of an object includes: dividing the object into imaging areas in a predetermined direction and obtaining the separate images corresponding to the imaging areas; obtaining a first distance value for each respective separate image, as a distance from a reference point to a first side of the respective separate image, and a second distance value for each respective separate image, as a distance from the reference point to a second side of the respective separate image, the first side being opposite to the second side along the predetermined direction; and displaying the virtual ruler, which indicates distance values between the first distance value and the second distance value of each respective separate image, on each of the respective separate images.

1. A method of displaying a virtual ruler on a plurality of separate images of an object, the method comprising:
obtaining the plurality of separate images corresponding to a plurality of imaging areas of the object and information about locations at which an image obtainer obtains each of the plurality of separate images; obtaining a first distance value for each respective separate image of the plurality of separate images, as a distance from a reference point to a first side of the respective separate image, and a second distance value for each respective separate image, as a distance from the reference point to a second side of the respective separate image, by using the information about the locations at which the image obtainer obtained each respective separate image, the first side being opposite to the second side along a predetermined direction; and generating a virtual ruler which indicates distance values between the first distance value and the second distance value of each respective separate image; and displaying the virtual ruler on each of the respective separate images.
