Claim:
1. A medical image display control apparatus, comprising: a memory which stores computer-executable instructions; and a processor which executes the stored instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to: calculate, using a medical image, parameters representing medical functional information for at least two pixel positions of the medical image, wherein the upper limit value and the lower limit value of each of the parameters medically represent the same functional information and whose value changes cyclically between the upper limit value and the lower limit value; calculate, with respect to a pixel position for which the parameter is not calculated, an interpolated parameter from the parameters which are calculated for the at least two pixel positions by interpolation, the calculating of the interpolated parameter is obtained by using a cyclic function in which the interpolation direction differs according to the difference between the parameters calculated for the at least two pixel positions; control the memory to store a color group in which the same color corresponds to the upper limit value and the lower limit value of said each of the parameters and whose color changes with the magnitude of said each of the parameters; map the parameters which are calculated for the at least two pixel positions and the interpolated parameter to the color group and generate a mapped color image based on the mapping and the medical image; and controls a display to display the mapped color image, wherein the parameters calculated for the at least two pixel positions represent a function of a part of a body.
