Abstract

A three-dimensional image producing method of determining, as display candidates, voxel data having a value exceeding a display threshold set for density, and voxel data of a specified classification selected from among voxel data classified into a plurality of display classifications, and projecting the voxel data as the display candidates onto a projection plane on the basis of predetermined display conditions to form a three-dimensional image.
