IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An image processing device includes an image generation section that generates plural tomographic images; a first specification section that displays at least one tomographic image in which an object of interest has been captured, and that allows a user to specify a position of the object of interest; a second specification section that displays at least one tomographic image including a region from the object of interest to a side from which a biopsy needle is to be inserted, and allows the user to specify a desired pass-through region of the biopsy needle and/or a non-pass-through region; a detection section that detects a path of the biopsy needle passing through the pass-through region and reaching the object of interest; and a warning section for issuing a warning if the detected path is outside a predetermined movement range of the biopsy needle.
