Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance precision when a blood vessel lumen in a blood vessel whose image is picked-up is drawn. SOLUTION: A plurality of volume images 130-134 which are temporally resolved are generated in a diagnostic imaging system 100 and a diagnostic imaging. A time passage projection processor 140 temporally collapses the volume images. A space projection processor 146 performs a maximum or minimum value projection along radiation passing through the voxel of a three- dimensional image. When the temporal collapse and the maximum or minimum value projection are continued by a certain order, the volume images temporally resolved are reduced to be two-dimensional images 148 which are temporally collapsed and also spatially projected. Time passage information is recorded in a database so that auxiliary diagnostic information or timing information for subsequent reference is obtained.
