An operator designates a reference plane on a medical image or a region of a patient, and a setting unit specifies whether the reference plane is an axial plane, a sagittal plane, or a coronal plane. The setting unit also specifies vertical, horizontal, and anteroposterior directions on the reference plane based on an anatomical characteristic of the region. Information about relationship between a patient coordinate system and a region coordinate system is stored in association with the medical image in a first storage unit. |
