<p>Conventional medical image processing devices have involve the problem that a cut surface not perpendicular to a reference plane but crossing the reference plane at a desired angle cannot be produced though a cut surface perpendicular to the reference plane can be produced. A cutting line is set for a three-dimensional image viewed perpendicularly to a reference plane. Then, the displayed image is changed to an image viewed from the direction of the cutting line, and a straight line showing the reference plane and a straight line showing the cut surface based on the cutting line are displayed over the image. The displayed straight line showing the cut surface is tilted with respect to the straight line showing the reference plane. The image of the cut surface produced by cutting an object with a cutting surface specific to the tilted straight line is displayed.</p> |
