An image display apparatus has: a first image generator that defines each
position between a predetermined start point and end point of a tubular
structure as a first viewpoint and generates a first image obtained by
observing an image of the inside of the tubular structure from each first
viewpoint toward the end point; a second image generator that defines
each position between the start point and the end point as a second
viewpoint and generates a second image obtained by observing an image of
the inside of the tubular structure from each second viewpoint toward the
start point; and a user interface that is provided with an operation
part, a monitor and a display controller and is configured so that, in
response to an instruction from the operation part, the display
controller makes the monitor display the first image and the second
image.
