<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display blood flows in a three-dimensional form suitable for diagnosis. <P>SOLUTION: In the image processor, a tissue image generater 14a generates a tissue image including depth values through volume rendering based on the three-dimensional tissue data stored in a three-dimensional data storage part 13; a blood flow conversion part 14b uses particles for dispersing blood flows shown in three-dimensional blood flow data stored in the three-dimensional data storage part 13 and converting the blood flows into three-dimensional particle data; a blood flow image generation part 14c generates a blood flow image including depth values from the three-dimensional particle data; an integrated image generation part 14d generates an integrated image based on both the depth values of each pixel contained in the tissue image and of each particle contained in the blood flow image, and by adjusting the order of expressing these particles and tissues; and a display controller 16 controls the sequential display of the integrated images on a monitor provided at an output part 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
