Conventionally, it has been difficult to display each of medical 3D images captured by different imaging devices (imaging methods or modalities) solely at a common display direction. According to the present invention, in a CT image, a coordinate system (1) based on a landmark on a bone and a coordinate system (2) based on a landmark on a skin are set and a conversion coefficient (correction amount) (Tc) between the coordinate system (1) and the coordinate system (2) is calculated and stored. When image data captured by another imaging method is displayed, if the image data includes a bone display layer, it is possible to set a coordinate system equivalent to the coordinate system (1) of the CT image, and if the image data includes a skin display layer, it is possible to set a coordinate system equivalent to the coordinate system (2) of the CT image. By correcting the set coordinate systems by using the conversion coefficient (Tc), it is possible to correct the coordinate system (1) into the coordinate system (2) or the coordinate system (2) into the coordinate system (1). Thus, it is possible to realize image displays based on a common coordinate system between different image data. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
