Abstract: A medical image display apparatus includes a device for storing image data for each study, acquired from a subject by a medical modality, and additional information thereof; a device for displaying list information about the study on a monitor based on the additional information; a device for selecting a study from the list information displayed on the monitor, in accordance with designated information; and a device for presenting volume data corresponding to the selected study and included in the image data, as information for collectively showing the presence of the volume data, i.e., as one-line list or thumbnails of a representative slice. With these features, it is possible to show that the designated study is accompanied with the acquired volume data, on a monitor screen in a simple and accurate manner, without the need to display information about all slices constituting the volume data.

Abstract: An ultrafine tube is produced by a method comprising the steps of applying a highly polymerized material on a substrate to form a resist layer on a surface of said substrate, applying a laser beam to the resist layer under such a condition that said resist layer is melted to form an ultrafine tube between the substrate and resist layer in the predetermined pattern.
