Patent ID: 8275447

Claim:
A medical image diagnostic system comprising: a medical imaging apparatus configured to acquire a radiation image of an object to be inspected projected on a projection surface by applying radiation to the object, acquiring an ultrasonic slice image of the object along a slice surface substantially orthogonal to said projection surface by transmitting ultrasonic waves toward the object and receiving ultrasonic echoes reflected by the object, and generating first image data representing plural ultrasonic slice images along plural slice surfaces, second image data representing at least one radiation image along a surface substantially orthogonal to the plural slice surfaces, and location data representing locations of said plural slice surfaces on said projection surface; a medical image storage apparatus configured to correlate and store the first image data, the second image data, and the location data generated by said medical imaging apparatus; and a medical image display apparatus configured to display at least one ultrasonic slice image along at least one slice surface based on the first image data loaded from said medical image storage apparatus, and to display at least one radiation image along a surface substantially orthogonal to the at least one slice surface and a marker indicating a location of said at least one slice surface on said projection surface based on the second image data and the location data loaded from said medical image storage apparatus.
