Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, a three-dimensional image processing apparatus includes at least a storage, an inputting unit, an image generating unit and a pointer controlling unit. The storage stores volume data of a target. The inputting unit receives an input operation for moving a pointer. The image generating unit generates a superimposed image in which a rendering image generated by performing a rendering process on the volume data and a pointer image are superimposed in consideration of information of depth. The pointer controlling unit obtains information of a three-dimensional position of the pointer. When the pointer is on the rendering image, the pointer controlling unit moves the pointer along a three-dimensional surface of a target contained in the volume data.
