Abstract

According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to extract a first medical image relating to a region of interest from a second medical image. The processing circuitry is configured to add, to the second medical image, reconstruction matrix information added to the first medical image.

Claims (22)

1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising

processing circuitry configured to:

extract a first medical image relating to a region of interest from a second medical image; and

add, to the first medical image, reconstruction matrix information added to the second medical image.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to display the reconstruction matrix information together with the first medical image.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry further displays image matrix information of the first medical image.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage configured to store the first medical image, metadata added to the first medical image, the second medical image, and metadata added to the second medical image,

wherein the metadata includes the image matrix information and the reconstruction matrix information.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a table that indicates an image matrix size of an image that each of a plurality of external servers is capable of storing,

wherein the processing circuitry is further configured, if a transfer instruction of an image to a first sever among the plurality of external servers is received, to determine whether or not the first servers is capable of storing the image by referring to the table, and if the first server is not capable of storing the image, to notify a message that suggests execution of processing to generate the first medical image.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the reconstruction matrix information indicates image matrix information of the second medical image.

7. A medical image processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

image a second medical image;

extract a first medical image relating to a region of interest from the second medical image; and

add to the first medical image reconstruction matrix information added to the second medical image.

8. An image archiving apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to:

extract a first medical image relating to a region of interest from a second medical image; and

add to the first medical image reconstruction matrix information added to the second medical image; and

a storage configured to store the first medical image in which the reconstruction matrix information is added.
