The image generation section specifies one viewpoint position for every timing so that the relative distance between the subject of observation and the viewpoint position is constant at time intervals, and generates a medical image from the one viewpoint position for every timing. The display control section displays a plurality of medical images generated for every timing in the display section along a time series.
