ABSTRACT:
In executing projection processing for the purpose of enhancing the efficiency of diagnosis, if a threshold is reached again after a specific value of a pixel reaches the threshold in the x direction in which tomographic planes are arrayed, the execution of the projection processing is ended, and a projected image is generated. Then, in generating that projected image by executing projection processing, tomograms are so synthesized with the projected image that the positions of the pixels projected in the x direction and the pixels of the tomograms generated in the x direction match each other in the scanned three-dimensional area of the subject, and the synthesized images are thereby generated.
