Abstract: In the present invention, a control section distinctly displays, as indexes for indicating that data (image) switching can be performed from a starting point that is the arrayed position of data selected as a display target from among a plurality of data arrayed in virtual and multiple dimensions based on plural types of imaging parameters, information regarding the array status of the plurality of data on a display section, in association with plural directions in which data switching can be performed. As a result of this configuration, when instructing to perform data switching in a direction arbitrarily selected from among a plurality of data switching directions, the user can instruct to perform data switching while visually checking information regarding the array status of data for each data switching direction. That is, by this configuration, data in each data switching direction becomes more recognizable visually.
