Abstract

Providing a diagnosis assisting apparatus that allows, in a diagnostic screen of a tubular tissue, easy understanding of the positional relationship between a curved cutting surface represented by a CPR image and the tubular tissue. Extracting a tubular tissue region representing a tubular tissue from volume data obtained by imaging and setting a core line to the tubular tissue, generating a CPR image which includes the core line and a longitudinal section of the tubular tissue region, obtaining the longitudinal section from the CPR image generation means, generating a pseudo three-dimensional image that includes a mark representing the obtained longitudinal section, as well as the tubular tissue in the extracted tubular tissue region based on the volume data, and displaying the pseudo three-dimensional image.

First claim
