PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for accurately and easily imaging a detailed image of a same part suitable for comparative observation for a subject with secular change.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus for imaging a cross-sectional image of a same part of an eye part with secular change in different date and time, comprises: storage means that stores state information representing a state of the eye part and correspondence information representing a correspondence relationship with a first area in which secular change is greater than that in other area acquisition means that acquires a reference part from a second area of a fundus image of the eye part excluding the first area on the basis of the first area of the fundus image of the eye part corresponding to the state information representing the state of the eye part stored in the storage means cross-sectional image acquisition means that images a cross-sectional image of the eye part at an imaging position on the fundus image of the eye part set as a relative position to the reference part and storage means that stores the imaged cross-sectional image in association with the imaging position.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】経時変化を伴う被写体について、比較観察に適した同一部位の詳細画像を精度よく容易に撮影するための技術を提供する。【解決手段】経時変化する眼部の同一部位の断面画像を、異なる日時に撮影する撮影装置であって、眼部の状態を示す状態情報と、経時変化が他の部分よりも大きい第1の領域との対応関係を示す対応情報を記憶する記憶手段と、記憶手段に記憶された眼部の状態を示す状態情報に対応する眼部の眼底画像の第1の領域に基づき、基準部分を眼部の眼底画像の第1の領域を除いた第2の領域から取得する取得手段と、基準部分に対する相対位置として設定される眼部の眼底画像上の撮像位置の眼部の断面画像を撮像する断面画像取得手段と、撮像した断面画像と撮像位置とを対応付けて記憶する記憶手段とを備える。【選択図】 図9
