Abstract:
1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising: a vessel running data generator configured to generate vessel running data of a vessel based on volume data collected by a medical image diagnosis apparatus; a lesion site detector configured to detect positional information of a lesion site in the vessel based on the volume data; a vessel dominant region data generator configured to generate vessel dominant region data indicating a region dominated by the vessel in a region provided with nutrition based on the vessel running data; a lesion site dominant region data generator configured to generate lesion site dominant region data indicating a region dominated by the lesion site in the region provided with nutrition based on the vessel running data and the positional information of the lesion site; an ischemic region data generator configured to generate ischemic region data indicating an ischemic region in the region provided with nutrition based on the functional image data; and a diagnostic image data generator configured to generate diagnostic image data by superimposing the vessel dominant region data, the lesion site dominant region data and the ischemic region data on morphological image data or functional image data generated based on the volume data.
