Abstract:
A three-dimensional image processing apparatus, comprising:a measurement position setting device which sets a plurality of measurement positions in a predetermined order in a predetermined direction of a subject; a measurement data collecting device which collects measurement data of said subject at the plurality of measurement positions; a two-dimensional image data acquiring device which acquires two-dimensional image data from said measurement data at the plurality of measurement positions in the predetermined order; a three-dimensional image data producing device which produces, every time the two-dimensional image data acquiring device acquires latest two-dimensional image data, three-dimensional image data on the basis of the latest two-dimensional image data and two-dimensional image data acquired before the latest two-dimensional image data; and a display which displays the three-dimensional image data as a three-dimensional image every time the three-dimensional image data producing device produces the three-dimensional image data.
