1. A method of displaying medical images comprising:

  • storing three-dimensional time-dependent image data consisting of a plurality of two-dimensional image data collected throughout a sliced tissue in a biological body to be examined by dynamic scanning of a certain time interval;

    displaying one of said plurality of scanned two-dimensional image data;

    designating a region of interest elongated along a direction on the two-dimensional image displayed;

    converting said three-dimensional time-dependent image data to a two-dimensional time-dependent image data having two aces, one axis representing the scanning time, the other axis representing, at each scan, a position in the designated region of interest;

    displaying the converted two-dimensional time-dependent image data;

    designating a position on the position axis of the displayed two-dimensional time-dependent image;

    forming a profile data of the image data values along a line perpendicular to the designated position on the position axis; and

    displaying the formed profile data.
