DISPLAY DIRECTION CORRECTING DEVICE, CORRECTING METHOD, AND CORRECTION PROGRAM FOR MEDICAL 3D IMAGE

摘要

In the display direction correcting device for medical 3D image, there can be specified landmark P2 of left-side area and landmark P1 of right-side area of displayed medical 3D image. The device has processing means for registering the right-and-left disposed pair of landmarks specified and on the basis thereof, correcting the inclinations of two directions (X-axis and Z-axis) while holding one direction (Y-axis) intact among three directions (X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis) constituting a 3D coordination system. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the display direction of image being important in the morphological evaluation and analysis of 3D images can be enhanced, and the effectiveness of 3D image information in clinical utilization can be strikingly enhanced.
