3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the positioning processor adjusts the time-series images by using a position of the common region, which is represented by one raw image of the time-series images as a reference, and bringing the common regions that are represented by remaining raw images into positional alignment with the reference.
4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the positioning processor adjusts the time-series images by positioning the common region along a cross-sectional direction normal to the axial direction.
5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the time-series image acquirer acquires, as the time-series images, a cross-sectional image group generated by capturing slice images along an axial direction; and
the positioning processor adjusts the time-series images by positioning the common region along a cross-sectional direction normal to the axial direction.
6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the positioning processor adjusts the time-series images by bringing the common region, which is represented by each of the raw images, into positional alignment with the common region that is represented by an adjacent raw image in a time series.
7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the common region designator designates, as the common region, at least one of a lung, a liver, a heart, a spleen, a kidney, a head, and a body.
8. An image processing method comprising:
an acquiring step of acquiring time-series images made up of a plurality of raw images generated in a time series;
a designating step of designating at least one common region that is commonly included in the acquired time-series images;
a positioning step of adjusting the time-series images by bringing a common region that is represented by at least one raw image of the time-series images into positional alignment with a common region that is represented by another raw image; and
a compressing step of performing a moving-image compression process on adjusted new time-series images (90b, 90c, 120a).
9. The image processing method according to claim 8, wherein the positioning step further acquires positioning data for positioning the common region, the image processing method further comprising:
a storing step of storing compressed data generated by the compressing step, the compressed data being associated with the positioning data.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program therein, the program causing a computer to carry out the steps of:
acquiring time-series images made up of a plurality of raw images generated in a time series;
designating at least one common region that is commonly included in the acquired time-series images;
adjusting the time-series images by bringing a common region that is represented by at least one raw image of the time-series images into positional alignment with a common region that is represented by another raw image; and
performing a moving-image compression process on adjusted new time-series images.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
