MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry configured to acquire geometric data indicating a position of a region of interest set on a first blood vessel image, specify a corresponding region in a second blood vessel image that corresponds to the region of interest on the basis of the geometric data, and acquire information on the corresponding region.
1 . A medical image processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to
acquire geometric data indicating a position of a region of interest set on a first blood vessel image,
specify a corresponding region in a second blood vessel image that corresponds to the region of interest on a basis of the geometric data, and
acquire information on the corresponding region.
2 . The medical image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information on the corresponding region is an index related to blood flow in the corresponding region.
3 . The medical image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information on the corresponding region is a slice including the corresponding region in the second blood vessel image.
4 . The medical image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the geometric data is data that ties position information of the region of interest to the first blood vessel image.
5 . The medical image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the geometric data is a binarized image that is generated on a basis of the first blood vessel image and distinguishes pixel values of the region of interest from pixel values of a region other than the region of interest.
6 . The medical image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the geometric data is text data indicating position coordinates of the region of interest.
