Abstract

With the intention of producing a tomographic image having information in depth direction in a short time, image data is produced from multiple tomographic images and a projection process is implemented for extracting a certain value from the image data at a corresponding position of the tomographic images, with the projection process being ended after the value of image data along the direction of projection process has passed a first threshold value and when the value comes to a second threshold value.
