Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: image entering means for reading slice data; image processing means for being supplied with slice data read by said image entering means and processing the supplied slice data into reconstructed image data; and memory means for storing data; said memory means comprising: slice data storage means for storing slice data supplied to said image processing means; and reconstructed image data storage means for storing reconstructed image data produced by said image processing means; said image processing means comprising: significance detecting means for determining whether the slice data stored in said slice data storage means is of significance or not; moved distance/tilt calculating means for calculating a moved distance and tilt of the slice data that has been detected as being of significance by said significance detecting means; and reconstructed image data generating means for calculating positional coordinates of a reconstructed image area to which said slice data is to be projected, based on the moved distance and tilt of the slice data which has been calculated by said moved distance/tilt calculating means, and generating reconstructed image data.
