Abstract:
1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising: a designation unit configured to designate a first designation point in first three-dimensional image data and designate a second designation point in second three-dimensional image data different from the first three-dimensional image data; an association unit configured to associate the first designation point designated in the first three-dimensional image data and the second designation point designated in the second three-dimensional image data; a cross-sectional-image generating unit configured to generate, based on a first cutting plane including the first designation point associated by the association unit, a first cross-sectional image based on the first three-dimensional image data and generate, based on a second cutting plane including the second designation point associated with the association unit, a second cross-sectional image based on the second three-dimensional image data; and a change unit configured to cooperatively rotate each of a of the first cutting plane in the first three-dimensional image data and a around the first designated designation point and the second cutting plane in the second three-dimensional image data around the second designated designation point; wherein the cross-sectional-image generating unit generates, based on the first cutting plane and the second cutting plane rotated by the change unit, the first cross-sectional image based on the first three-dimensional image data and the second cross-sectional image based on the second three-dimensional image data.
