An image processing devicereads the entire image of a coronary artery region, extracts a coronary artery region A from the read image data, displays the coronary artery region A, calculates cores, andof three coronary arteries A, A, and A, and calculates the lengths of blood vessels. In addition, when an operator uses a GUIthat is displayed in parallel to the entire image of the coronary artery region A to designate an arbitrary scale position on the GUI, a CPUcalculates positions on the blood vessels A, A, and Acorresponding to the designated scale position. The CPUdisplays vertical tomographic images, andat the calculated corresponding positions in a detailed image display region
