Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 15:
16. The medical image processing apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
acquire a three-dimensional image generated by imaging the object,
receive a designation of the target region in the three-dimensional image,
calculate a second orbit around the target position in the three-dimensional image based on the target position and a running direction of the blood flow corresponding to the target position in the three-dimensional image in such a manner that the second orbit is within a plane orthogonal to the running direction of the blood flow and including the target position,
perform positioning processing on the three-dimensional image in such a manner that the three-dimensional image positionally matches an X-ray image obtained by using the X-ray source and the X-ray detector to image the object,
convert the second orbit calculated for the three-dimensional image into a third orbit for the X-ray source and the X-ray detector, and
output control data for causing the arm to rotate the X-ray source and the X-ray detector in such a manner that a periphery of the target position is imaged along the third orbit.
