Abstract
A user input obtainer receives an image movement instruction including identification information specifying a position shift or an image capture time shift to be performed and also including a displacement amount. When the identification information specifies the position shift, a slice position selector determines a tomographic image at a destination of the position shift based on the displacement amount from a set of tomographic images captured at the same time. On the other hand, when the identification information specifies the image capture time shift, the image capture time selector determines a tomographic image at a destination of the shift based on the displacement amount from sets of tomographic images that are identical to each other in terms of a patient, an examination portion, and a modality. A displaying image obtainer reads out the determined tomographic image from an image storage device and gives it to a display information generator.
