| 1. An apparatus for describing three-dimensional image data, comprising:
a descriptor database for storing descriptors describing characteristics of the three-dimensional image data at an acquisition
procedure, a representing procedure, and a display procedure;
a descriptor adding means for reading in at least one of an acquisition descriptor, a representing descriptor, and a display
descriptor describing the characteristics of the three-dimensional image data inputted from outside at each step and adding
the descriptor to the three-dimensional image data; and
a registration means for registering the three-dimensional image data with the descriptor endowed by the descriptor adding
means in a three-dimensional image data database.
