Abstract
The invention provides an image display apparatus for displaying three cross sectional images for enabling efficient observation of a three-dimensional distribution of the images between a plurality of positions of interest when there are the plurality of positions of interest (abnormal shadow candidates) in three-dimensional medical image data. The apparatus determines a display switch parameter for each coordinate axis according to a positional relationship between a first position of interest and a second position of interest on a displayed image for each coordinate axis, and displays the cross sectional images by switching the cross sectional images in parallel from the first position of interest toward the second position of interest according to the determined display switch parameter.
