Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: a movement section which scrolls a medical image on a screen in a scroll direction during a scroll operation; a display control section which controls a display section to display the medical image in a manner that an observation reference position of a diagnosis region of the medical image passes through a display reference position of a display region of the screen throughout the scroll operation of the medical image on the screen; and a scaling section to (i) determine whether a width in a lateral direction which is perpendicular to the scroll direction of the diagnosis region is equal to or larger than a reduction threshold which is set based on a width of the display region, and (ii) when a determination result thereof indicates that the width of the diagnosis region is equal to or larger than the reduction threshold, reduce only the width of the diagnosis region such that the width in the lateral direction of the diagnosis region is smaller than the width of the display region without reducing a length in the scroll direction of the diagnosis region, so as to enable the medical image to be displayed in the display region throughout the scroll operation without a user having to move the medical image in the lateral direction.
