Patent ID: 11481956

Abstract:
A medical image processing apparatus according to embodiments includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires three-dimensional medical image data in which a structure of a subject is rendered. The processing circuitry sets an eye point and an eye direction in the three-dimensional medical image data, generates two-dimensional first medical image data from the three-dimensional medical image data, and generates two-dimensional second medical image data in which display manners differ between a first portion on the opposite side to the eye point side in the eye direction of the structure rendered in the two-dimensional first medical image data and a second portion on the eye point side of the structure rendered in the two-dimensional first medical image data. The processing circuitry displays a medical image represented by the second medical image data on a display. The processing circuitry further generates two-dimensional depth information corresponding to a plurality of pixels that constitute the two-dimensional first medical image data and generates the second medical image data in which display manners differ between the first portion constituted with a pixel with the depth information equal to or greater than a threshold and the second portion constituted with a pixel with the depth information less than the threshold, in data of the plurality of pixels that constitute the first medical image data, based on the depth information.
