Patent ID: 8355775

Claim:
An image diagnosing support method comprising: acquiring a plurality of images obtained by imaging a same region of a same object with one or more medical imaging apparatuses; selecting a first image from a first medical imaging apparatus and a second image from another medical imaging apparatus, the first and second images registering a common spatial position of a magnetic sensor, as an alignment reference; simultaneously displaying said first image and said second image in the same section of the object; designating one or more of first reference points in an extraction region desired by a user, on said first image; extracting a first region on said first image on a basis of each of said first reference point and the brightness information on said first image; automatically designating one or more second reference points on said second image, matching said one or more first reference points, on the basis of the positional information of said first reference points on the first image; and extracting a second region on said second image on a basis of each of said second reference point and the brightness information on said second image; wherein the boundary of a region extracted from said first image and the boundary of a region extracted from said second image and said second reference point, are displayed superposed over said second image, and the boundary of a region extracted from said second image and the boundary of a region extracted from said first image and said first reference point, are displayed superposed over said first image, and automatically adjusting gain and dynamic image parameters so as to match the distribution range of image signal values in the extraction region with maximum gradation range of image displaying to display.
