Abstract
A volume rendering image is obtained based on a 3D MRI image by automatically performing appropriate opacity setting. A three-dimensional image of a subject is received, a distribution of pixel values of the three-dimensional image is calculated, a pixel value of a predetermined feature amount is calculated based on the distribution of the pixel values, and opacity is set for each of the pixel value included in the three-dimensional image based on the pixel value of the feature amount. Accordingly, the opacity can be set automatically. The volume rendering image of the three-dimensional image is generated using the opacity.
