There is provided a patient registration system according to the present invention, including: a CT data capturing device; an X-ray television imaging device; and an image processing device for generating a two-dimensional DRR image based on the captured CT data, and then calculating an amount of displacement between a first diseased site position when the CT data is captured and a second diseased site position when the X-ray television image is captured. The image processing device carries out processes of: three-dimensional analysis for extracting an amount of three-dimensional characteristic from the three-dimensional CT data; two-dimensional analysis for extracting an amount of two-dimensional characteristic from both of the DRR image and the X-ray television image; characteristic evaluation for evaluating the extracted characteristic amounts; area limitation for selecting an area where the evaluated characteristic amounts are present; and displacement estimation for estimating an amount of displacement between the first diseased site position and the second diseased site position within the selected area, whereby achieving quick and accurate registration of patient.
