Abstract:
A medical imaging apparatus includes a cardiac lumen region identifying unit, a myocardium identifying unit, and a generating unit. The cardiac lumen region identifying unit is configured to identify a cardiac lumen region from a medical image including a heart region. The myocardium identifying unit is configured to identify a face of a myocardium region obtained by extending a face of the cardiac lumen region, identified by the cardiac lumen region identifying unit, by a certain distance toward a myocardium side. The generating unit is configured to generate a color-coded image in which the face of the myocardium region, identified by the myocardium identifying unit, is colored in colors according to signal values of the medical image corresponding to positions on the face of the myocardium region.

Claim (Index 11):
A medical image processing system comprising:\n a medical image processing apparatus including\n a first identifying unit configured to identify a face of a myocardium region, using a three-dimensional medical image including a heart region; \n a first generation unit configured to generate a three-dimensional color-coded image colored according to signal values on the identified face of the myocardium region; \n a second identifying unit configured to identify a coronary artery, using the three-dimensional medical image; and \n a display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display a superimposed image generated by superimposing the identified coronary artery on the three-dimensional color-coded image.
