Abstract:
1. An image display system comprising an image data obtaining means which obtains image data consisting of three-dimensional pixel values representing an object, a cross section designating means for designating an arbitrary cross section of the object, a depth designating means for designating a depth perpendicular to the designated cross section, a cross-section projected-image data generating means which generates, on the basis of the image data, cross-section projected-image data representing a cross-section projected-image obtained by projecting, onto a plane parallel to the designated cross section, averages of the pixel values arranged in the directions of depth in the region defined by the designated cross section and the designated depth including the designated cross section, an image processing condition setting means which sets image processing conditions on the basis of the designated depth, an image processing means which carries out image processing on the cross-section projected-image data on the basis of the image processing conditions set by the image processing condition setting means, and a display means which displays an image on the basis of the cross-section projected-image data processed by the image processing means.
