A medical image processing device of an embodiment includes first and second image acquirers, a generator, and a calculator. The first image acquirer acquires a first fluoroscopic image of a patient. The second image acquirer acquires a second fluoroscopic image according to radiation of the patient at a time point different from that of acquisition of the first image using a detector. The generator generates a reconstructed image by reproducing the second image from the first image virtually arranged in a three-dimensional space on the basis of a position of the detector in the three-dimensional space. The calculator obtains a suitable position on the first image in the three-dimensional space on the basis of a degree of similarity between the second image and the reconstructed image. The generator generates the reconstructed image for use in the calculator and has a range larger than a range corresponding to the second image.
