Abstract
A blood vessel position display device (1) includes an image processing device (31) configured to subject an image for analysis of a target part (2) to image processing to acquire blood vessel information including positions and shapes of blood vessels included in the target part (2), a selection device (32) configured to choose blood vessels as conforming blood vessels in which a parameter obtained from the blood vessel information satisfies specific conditions, an image generation device (33) configured to generate a projection image including display lines at least set to have lengths corresponding to the conforming blood vessels, and a projection device (40) configured to cause the positions of the display lines to correspond to the positions of the conforming blood vessels so as to project the projection image on the target part (2).
