A 2D mammogram image is synthesized from at least one of tomosynthesis projection images and/or the tomosynthesis reconstructed image data. In a simplest form, the mammogram may be synthesized by selecting one of the tomosynthesis projection images for display as a synthesized mammogram. Other methods of synthesizing a mammogram include re-projecting and filtering projection data and/or reconstructed data. The synthesized mammogram is advantageously displayed together with at least a portion of the reconstructed data to aid in review of the reconstructed data. The present invention thus provides a familiar image which may be used to facilitate review of a tomosynthesis data set.

The present invention provides an element data management apparatus, an element data management method, a program, and a data structure of element data for improving the utility value of environmental maps. An element data storage section (40) stores at least one piece of element data including environment data generated on the basis of sensing data acquired by a tracker and including sensing time point data associated with a time range in which an element represented by the environment data is estimated to be present in real space on the basis of a time point at which the element was sensed. According to environment data generated on the basis of new sensing data, an element data updating section (48) identifies the element data associated with additional environment data constituting a portion or all of the environment data. The element data updating section (48) associates the element data including the additional environment data with the identified element data.

An object management system, an aircraft design system, and a method for managing an object. A three-dimensional environment with a model of an object and an avatar representing a human operator from a viewpoint relative to the avatar is displayed on a display system. A motion of the human operator is detected. An interaction between the avatar and the model of the object is identified in real time using information about motions of the human operator that are detected in real time. The interaction changes a group of dimensions in the model of the object. Further, the interaction between the avatar and the model of the object in the three-dimensional environment is displayed on the display system, enabling design changes in the model of the object made by the human operator.
