IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND IMAGEPROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

There is provided an image processing method for creating a fusion image wit h automatic and high superposition accuracy. The image processing method includes: (a) a voxel normalization step for generating a first normalized 3 D image corresponding to a first 3D image and a second normalized 3D image corresponding to a second 3D image by making the voxel size and the voxel quantity the first 3D image based on a plurality of first tomograms obtained from an arbitrary portion of an examinee identical to those of the second 3D image based on a plurality of second tomograms obtained from the same portio n in the valid field of view; and (b) a fusion image generation step for generating a fusion image by using the first normalized 3D image and the second normalized 3D image.
