Abstract
An image processing display and an image processing display program that can prevent interference with catheter treatment even when the distal end of a catheter is located behind a treatment apparatus on X-ray fluoroscopic images. The image processing display displays X-ray fluoroscopic images to be obtained by looking through a region including blood vessels using X-rays during treatment, and includes a treatment apparatus image extractor and an image processor. The treatment apparatus image extractor, based on X-ray fluoroscopic images, extracts treatment apparatus images representing the treatment apparatus having the property of absorbing X-rays. The image processor determines the distal end position of the catheter to superimpose and display images representing the determined distal end position of the catheter on the region of the X-ray fluoroscopic images showing the treatment apparatus.
