Abstract:
A control device defines, for three-dimensional blood vessel data of a blood vessel corresponding to a branched center line, a cylindrical coordinate system, thereby converting this into blood vessel data in an orthogonal coordinate system. The control device uses a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in a radial direction at a first coordinate value of the coordinate axis in a center line direction and a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction at a second coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the center line direction, thereby interpolating a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction between the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value. The control device converts, after interpolation, the blood vessel data into blood vessel data in the cylindrical coordinate system.

Claim (Index 7):
A blood vessel image processing program for causing a computer to execute\n a center line specifying process of specifying a center line of a blood vessel based on three-dimensional blood vessel data showing a three-dimensional shape of the blood vessel, a protruding portion center line specifying process of specifying a center line of a protruding portion of the blood vessel from the center line specified at the center line specifying process, a branched center line specifying process of specifying a center line branched from the protruding portion center line specified at the protruding portion center line specifying process, a conversion process of defining, for the three-dimensional blood vessel data of the blood vessel corresponding to the branched center line specified at the branched center line specifying process, a cylindrical coordinate system using, as coordinate axes, a blood vessel circumferential direction about the center line, a blood vessel radial direction from the center line, and a center line direction, thereby converting the blood vessel data in the cylindrical coordinate system into blood vessel data in an orthogonal coordinate system, an interpolation process of using, on the blood vessel data converted into the orthogonal coordinate system at the conversion process, a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction at a first coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the center line direction and a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction at a second coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the center line direction, thereby interpolating a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction between the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value, and an inverse conversion process of converting, after interpolation at the interpolation process, the blood vessel data in the orthogonal coordinate system into blood vessel data in the cylindrical coordinate system.
