APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CREATING OPTIMAL 2-DIMENSIONAL MEDICAL IMAGE AUTOMATICALLY FROM 3-DIMENSIONAL MEDICAL IMAGE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for automatically generating an optimal 2D medical image from a 3D medical image are provided to supply the optimal 2D image to medical professionals by extracting from the 3D medical image. CONSTITUTION: A 2D image generator is composed of an input(21), an image processor(22), a storage(23), an output(24) and a user interface(25). The input transmits 3D volume image data from a 3D image detection device to the image processor. The output outputs a 2D image with an image display device. The input and the output connect the image processor and the 3D image detection device.
