Medical image processing method and medical image processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A medical image processing method of processing image data representing a series of images obtained by a radiography apparatus and read by an image reading apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving the plural kinds of image data representing the series of images and respective photographing conditions when the series of images are obtained;
(b) executing image processing of the plural kinds of image data;
(c) automatically obtaining output-format control information including information as to output position, rotation and position adjustment of the series of images corresponding to the photographing conditions received at step (a) from among a predetermined set of output-format control information to be used to control an image format when the series of images are to be output in one screen; and
(d) automatically constructing a layout of the series of images to be output in one screen on the basis of the output-format control information obtained at step (c).
