Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing apparatus includes a memory unit which stores data of a first projection image and data of a second projection image, which are associated with the same object and are captured in different imaging directions, a display unit which displays the data of the first projection image and the data of the second projection image, a designation operation unit which is configured to designate a plurality of points on the displayed first and second projection images, and an operation supporting unit which generates operation supporting information for supporting an operation of designating, by the designation operation unit, the plurality of points on the second image, which anatomically correspond to the plurality of points designated on the first projection image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a memory unit which stores data of a 3D image relating to a target blood vessel within a subject; a vector calculation unit which extracts a center axis of the target blood vessel using the data of the 3D image and calculates tangent vectors with respect to multiple points on the center axis; an angle calculation unit which calculates angles of the tangent vectors to a projection plane which is orthogonal to said…
