Abstract
An image processing device is an image processing device that causes a display to display, as a three-dimensional image, three-dimensional data representing a biological tissue. The image processing device includes: a control unit configured to form, in the three-dimensional data, a cutting region for exposing a lumen of the biological tissue in the three-dimensional image, and to display, on the display, a two-dimensional image representing a portion corresponding to the cutting region in one cross section of the biological tissue at a position corresponding to the one cross section in the three-dimensional image.
