Abstract
A liver region extraction unit and a structural element extraction unit extracts the liver region and structural elements, such as the hepatic artery and the hepatic vein, from a three-dimensional image, and a surface data generation unit generates surface data of the liver region and surface data of the structural elements. A pattern adding unit adds a textured pattern to at least one of the surfaces of the liver region and the structural elements, and a data generation unit generate three-dimensional model data by combining the surface data of the liver region and the surface data of the structural elements after the addition of the textured pattern. A three-dimensional model making device makes a three-dimensional model of the liver based on the three-dimensional model data.
