Abstract:
An image processing apparatus obtains information representing a region of interest from a three-dimensional image, and, when a projection direction of the three-dimensional image is changed, based on the projection direction and the information representing the region of interest, determines a parameter that indicates a thickness of projection used in projection processing. The image processing apparatus uses the determined parameter to generate a projection image by applying projection processing toward the projection direction to the three-dimensional image.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the determining unit, in a case where two planes orthogonal to the projection direction are arranged to sandwich the entirety of the region of interest with each plane in contact with the region of interest, determines the parameter such that the thickness represents a range sandwiched by the two planes.
