Abstract
An image analyzer unit performs lesion site detection for each tomographic image. In response to a lesion site detection state, the image analyzer unit outputs a position data array and a size data array that represent temporal change in position and size of the lesion site. A rate of change calculator unit calculates a rate of change that represents a degree of temporal change in tomographic image content. A smoother unit smooths the position data array and the size data array in accordance with the rate of change. A mark is generated based on the smoothed position data array and the smoothed size data array.
