Claim:
1. A medical image display apparatus, comprising: a three-dimensional image obtaining unit that obtains a three-dimensional image of a subject; a tubular tissue region obtaining unit that obtains a tubular tissue region representing a tubular tissue of the subject from the three-dimensional image obtained by the three-dimensional image obtaining unit; an endpoint identification unit that identifies, if the tubular tissue region obtained by the tubular tissue region obtaining unit is separated, each endpoint of the two tubular tissue regions connecting to the separating portion; a cross-sectional image generation unit that generates a cross-sectional image that includes the two endpoints identified by the endpoint identification unit; a display control unit that displays the cross-sectional image generated by the cross-sectional image generation unit and a three-dimensional image of the tubular tissue region; and a route receiving unit that receives input of a route connecting between the two tubular tissue regions.
