Claim 15:
16. A medical image system in which a medical image diagnostic apparatus and a medical image processing apparatus are communicably connected via a network, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
sequentially acquire cross sectional medical images of a target of a subject acquired by performing an imaging of the target by scanning with a scanner, and position data of the acquired cross sectional medical images,
automatically determine, based on the acquired cross sectional medical images and the acquired position data, an unimaged region being a part of the target, the unimaged region being included in a data-missing area, which has a size equal to or larger than a threshold, and which appears between adjacent cross sectional medical images of the acquired cross sectional medical images, and
automatically move the scanner such that the unimaged region within the target is scanned when the unimaged region is determined.
