Abstract:
1. A medical image diagnosis device, comprising: processing circuitry that a memory that stores image data taken from a plurality of the viewpoints; and an interface device that selects a desired imaging range from among the plurality of imaging ranges, on a human body model displayed on a display device, wherein the human body model is divided into at least three regions in a cranio-caudal direction, and is divided into at least three regions in a direction perpendicular to the cranio-caudal direction in order to set a plurality of angular directions with matrix-like segments, and the interface device specifies one from the plurality of angular directions to select the imaging range, the processing circuitry classifies a plurality of pieces of the image data stored in the memory into the plurality of imaging ranges to generate thumbnail images, and outputs the thumbnail images within the desired imaging range selected by the interface device, and the display device displays the thumbnail images within the desired imaging range output from the processing circuitry with the human body model.
