Provided is an image processing device capable of effectively displaying the details of a plurality of different branches included in a structure that is divided into a plurality of branches. An image processing device 100 reads the entire image of a coronary artery region, extracts a coronary artery region A from the read image data, displays the coronary artery region A, calculates cores 41, 42 , and 43 of three coronary arteries A 1 , A 2 , and A 3 , and calculates the lengths of blood vessels. In addition, when an operator uses a GUI 33 that is displayed in parallel to the entire image of the coronary artery region A to designate an arbitrary scale position on the GUI 33 , a CPU 101 calculates positions on the blood vessels A 1 , A 2 , and A 3 corresponding to the designated scale position. The CPU 101 displays vertical tomographic images 321, 322 , and 323 at the calculated corresponding positions in a detailed image display region 32. |
