MEDICAL CROSS-SECTIONAL IMAGE DISPLAYING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING CROSS-SECTIONAL IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for displaying a two-dimensional cross-sectional image of an arbitrary base plane which matches to a subject's head without providing extra labor to an operator.SOLUTION: A medical cross-sectional image displaying apparatus is connected to a display unit for displaying a cross-sectional image of a head. The medical cross-sectional image displaying apparatus comprises: a conversion parameter obtaining unit (41) for obtaining a conversion parameter indicating a difference in shape between a standard head and a subject's head on the basis of volume data on the subject's head and volume data on the standard head; a subject base plane generating unit (43) for generating an anatomical base plane of the subject's head on the basis of the conversion parameter and an anatomical base plane of the standard head; and a cross-sectional reconstruction unit (45) for generating a cross-sectional image at the anatomical base plane of the subject's head on the basis of the volume data on the subject's head and displaying the cross-sectional image on the display unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
