  • Patent number: 10098604
    Abstract: A medical image processing device includes a port, a processor and a display. The port acquires a plurality of image data from a living body. The processor classifies the plurality of image dam to genes ate a plurality of image groups based OH a first time component. The first time component is defined by a first time interval among imaging times at which the plurality of image data are generated. The processor correlates each image data in one image groups with each image data in another image group, based on both an actual time and a time ratio of a second time component. The second time component is defined by a second time interval among the imaging times being shorter than the first time interval. The display displays images based on the plurality of image data based on the correlation of the image data in the image groups.

  • Publication number: 20170287211
    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus includes a port, a processor and a display. The port acquires volume data. The processor sets a three-dimensional region in the volume data, acquires three vectors orthogonal to each other from the three-dimensional region, calculates three surfaces to which the vectors are normal lines, and generates three cross-sectional images of the volume data by setting the respective surfaces as cross-sections. The display shows the generated cross-sectional images. The processor shifts at least one surface in parallel along the corresponding normal line and regenerates a cross-sectional image in which the shifted surface is a cross-section.
