PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical image processor for sequencing segments in the order of matching with a human intuition.SOLUTION: A medical image processor 1 is configured to, when two segments do not intersect, and there is a shared section in which the two segments coexist in an X-axial direction, determine the hierarchical order in a Y-axial direction of the partial segments of the two segments in the shared section, and to sequence the hierarchical order in the Y-axial direction of the two segments in accordance with the hierarchical order of the partial segments. The medical image processor 1 is configured to, when the two segments intersect, define the partial segments of the two segments in the shared section where the two segments coexist in the X-axial direction as four division segments divided at the intersection of the two segments, and to sequence the hierarchical order in the Y-axial direction of the two segments.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】人間の直感と一致する順番で線分を順序付けることができる医用画像処理装置等を提供する。【解決手段】本発明に係る医用画像処理装置1は、二線分が交わらず、X軸方向について共に存在する共有区間がある場合、共有区間にある二線分の部分線分のY軸方向についての上下関係を判断し、部分線分の上下関係に従って二線分のY軸方向の上下関係を順序付ける。二線分が交わる場合には、二線分がX軸方向について共に存在する共有区間にある二線分の部分線分を、二線分の交点で分割した4本の分割線分として、二線分のY軸方向の上下関係を順序付ける。【選択図】図7
