摘要:
In an image display apparatus capable of storing therein a small amount of images and also capable of displaying two sorts, or more of images within a short time period, an axial image 1, a sagittal image 2, and a coronal image 3, which are loaded from a magnetic disk, are displayed on a CRT monitor 117. Image position indication FIGS. 4, 5, 6 are indicated above the respective tomographic images, and positions of the respective tomographic images are indicated on the respective image position indication FIGS. 4, 5, 6 by employing heavy lines 4a, 5a, 6a, and triangular symbols 4b, 5b, 6b. The positions of the tomographic images can be adjusted by dragging the respective triangular symbols 4b, 5b, 6b by using a mouse 118. Image position input FIGS. 7, 8, 9 are indicated under the respective tomographic images, and the positions of the respective displayed tomographic images are indicated on the image position input FIGS. 7, 8, 9 by way of drag bars 7a, 8a, 9a. Alternatively, the positions of the tomographic images may be adjusted by dragging the drag bars 7a, 8a, 9a by using the mouse 118.

摘要:
A three-dimensional image display method for displaying a three-dimensional image including depth and distance information which consists of the steps of obtaining a densified three-dimensional image according to the distance information of an original three-dimensional image using a voxel method and modifying the densified three-dimensional image using a surface method. The surface method consists of the steps of determining each minute image element group including plural image elements proximate to each other over all image elements forming the densified three-dimensional image obtained under the voxel method, computing a density gradient defined by the each minute image element group based on density data of the plural image elements, substituting each modified density data modified according to the density gradient for the density data of the plural image elements obtained under voxel method, and displaying the modified density data on a display. A system for accomplishing this method is also provided.
