Abstract:
1. An ultrasonic volume data processing device comprising: a three-dimensional region-of-interest setting unit which sets a three-dimensional region of interest for a rendering process with respect to ultrasonic volume data obtained from a three-dimensional space in a living body; and a three-dimensional ultrasonic image forming unit which executes the rendering process using data in the three-dimensional region of interest, to form a three-dimensional ultrasonic image, wherein the three-dimensional region of interest has a clipping plane which spatially separates a target tissue and a non-target tissue, and the three-dimensional region-of-interest setting unit comprises: a deformation unit which deforms the clipping plane; and an inclination unit which causes an entirety of the clipping plane to be inclined with respect to the ultrasonic volume data.
