Abstract
A medical apparatus according to an embodiment comprises a setting part, a creating part, and a display controller. The setting part is used for setting an insertion route of a puncture needle for a subject onto an image based on volume data. The creating part creates a graphic schematically indicating the volume data. The display controller displays the graphic on a display, and displays a route image corresponding to the insertion route.

11. An X-ray computed tomography (CT) system for creating volume data based on results obtained from scanning a subject, comprising:
circuitry configured to; create a first multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) image indicating a cross-section in a predetermined direction to the volume data and a second MPR image indicating cross-sections in a different direction from the predetermined direction, set an insertion route of a puncture needle for the subject based on the first MPR image, detect an outline of the volume data and scale the outline of the volume data such that the scaled outline of the volume data is a predetermined size and shape, according to the scaled outline of the volume data, generate a three dimensional graphic, which schematically represents the volume data, identify an image region where the insertion route is projected on each of the cross-section of the first MPR image and the cross-sections of the second MPR image, create, for each of the first MPR image and the second MPR image with image regions identified, a cross-sectional image of a cross-section orthogonal to the cross-section of a corresponding MPR image and along a corresponding image region, and display, on a display, (i) the cross-sectional images, (ii) the three dimensional graphic, and (iii) a route image corresponding to a direction represented by the three dimensional graphic and created by converting coordinate values of the insertion route into a predetermined scale size on the three dimensional graphic, and the cross-sectional images on the display while switching these cross-sectional images. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
