According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry extracts a rigid region from predetermined medical image data among a plurality of items of medical image data. Further, between first medical image data and second medical image data among the plurality of items of medical image data, the processing circuitry performs rigid registration on the rigid region and performs non-rigid registration on a region other than the rigid region.

Medical image processing apparatus and medical image processing method

According to an embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes an extraction unit, a calculation unit, and a selection unit. The extraction unit extracts an image region having an image element value larger than a predetermined value from a first image of at least one time phase and second images of a plurality of time phases. The calculation unit calculates a feature quantity that fluctuates in accordance with motion of the image region for the first image of at least the one time phase and the second images of the time phases. The selection unit selects the first image and the second image having similar image features of the image region based on the feature quantity from among the first image of at least the one time phase and the second images of the time phases.
