Patent ID: 8884958

Claim:
An image processing system, comprising: a first image creating unit configured to create a first image by performing a rendering processing on volume data which is three-dimensional medical image data; a second image creating unit configured to create a second image different from the first image by performing the rendering processing on the volume data; and a display controller configured to control to display the first image and the second image, respectively, in different ones of a designated region that is designated in a display surface of a display unit and a background region other than the designated region, wherein the display unit displays a stereoscopic image by displaying a disparity image group having a predetermined disparity number, such that the stereoscopic image is viewable with a sense of depth or protrusion with respect to the display surface, and displays a planar image by replacing a plurality of identical images into the disparity image group to be displayed, such that the planar image is viewable without the sense of depth or protrusion, the first image creating unit creates, as the first image, the disparity image group to be displayed as the stereoscopic image, the second image creating unit creates the planar image, as the second image, in which an object is represented, the object being the same as or corresponding to an object represented in the stereoscopic image, and the display controller controls to display the stereoscopic image in any one of a designated region designated in a display surface of the display unit and a background region other than the designated region and display the planar image in the other region.
