ABSTRACT:
A path22representing the center line of a curved cylinder21is acquired (step S1). The path22can be set by a GUI while a volume rendering image displayed on a display device is viewed. Alternatively, the path22can be set automatically when the curved cylinder21is designated as a subject of observation. Then, a region of the curved cylinder21is extracted as a subject pf observation with the path22used as the center (step S2). Then, sections23and24are generated as if the extracted region was cut open along the path22(step S3). In this case, the sections23and24are curved along the curvature of the curved cylinder21. Accordingly, CPR images are synthesized on the curved sections (step S4).
