<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate diagnostic image data effective for the diagnosis of an ischemic heart disease in a medical image processing apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: A medical image processing apparatus includes: a vessel running data generating unit which generates vessel running data of a vessel based on volume data collected by a medical image diagnosis apparatus; a lesion site detecting unit which detects positional information of a lesion site in the vessel based on the volume data; a vessel dominant region data generating unit which generates vessel dominant data indicating a region dominated by the vessel in a region provided with nutrition based on the vessel running data; a lesion site dominant region data generating unit which generates lesion site dominant region data indicating a region dominated by the lesion site in the region provided with nutrition based on the vessel running data and the positional information of the lesion site; and a diagnostic image data generating unit which generates diagnostic image data by superimposing the vessel dominant region data and the lesion site dominant region data on morphological image data or functional image data generated based on the volume data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
