Abstract
A method of displaying a standard observational X-ray CT image for diagnostics for use in an X-ray CT apparatus or an X-ray CT image display apparatus and an apparatus for displaying the same image are disclosed. The standard observational X-ray CT image can be displayed as a display image of at least one of an X-ray CT sectional image and a three-dimensional CT volume image depending on its purpose. The present method involves a step of designating the interested area with respect to the maxillofacial area of the object, a step of producing the standard observational X-ray CT image of the designated interested area, based on the dental arch reference information prepared in advance, and a step of displaying on a display means the standard observational X-ray CT image of the object thus produced.
