Medical image processing apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium
According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes a storage and processing circuitry. The storage stores a first image indicating a breast of an object captured by a medical image diagnostic apparatus and interpretation information associated with the first image. The processing circuitry generates, based on position information of a region of interest based on the interpretation information and information of an interpretation direction, schematic diagram information for adding information about a position of the region of interest onto a schematic diagram of the breast. The processing circuitry transmits information, including the schematic diagram information, for generating the schematic diagram.

10. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry determines the layout based on information about a display region on the display.
11. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry selects, in accordance with a display region on the display, the layout from a first layout in which the interpretation information is displayed outside a region indicating the breast on the first image and a second layout in which the interpretation information is displayed in a different region outside the first image.
12. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry determines the layout in which a color of at least part of the second image is set to a color different from the first image.
13. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:
an input interface configured to accept input information from an operator,
wherein upon accepting, from the operator via the input interface, an input indicating that no abnormal finding is found on the first image, the processing circuitry determines not to transmit the first image to the display.
14. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:
an input interface configured to accept input information from an operator,
wherein upon accepting, from the operator via the input interface, an input indicating that no abnormal finding is found on the first image, the processing circuitry determines to transmit the first image to the display by decreasing a data capacity of the first image.
15. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein in a state in which different pieces of information are assigned to the first image and the second image, the processing circuitry stores the first image and the second image in the same DICOM file.
16. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry stores the interpretation information as addition information in a DICOM file corresponding to the first image.
