A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to change the position of a breast rendered in a first medical image. On the basis of the post-change position of the breast, the processing circuitry is configured to correct the position of the breast rendered in a second medical image in which the positional arrangement state of the breast is the same as that in the first medical image.

Medical image processing apparatus, mammography apparatus, and method

According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray variable diaphragm, an X-ray detector, and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube irradiates X-rays. The X-ray variable diaphragm limits an irradiation region of the X-rays. The X-ray detector detects the X-rays that have passed through an object. The processing circuitry controls a movement of the X-ray tube, the X-ray detector, and an aperture of the X-ray variable diaphragm such that, when the irradiation region on the X-ray detector moves within an imaging range, a movement velocity of the irradiation region relative to the imaging range is maintained constant.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus and control method thereof

According to one embodiment, an X-ray mammography apparatus includes a breast support, a compression plate, and a compression controller. The breast support where the breast is placed. The compression plate is arranged such that the breast is sandwiched between the breast support and the compression plate. The compression controller is configured to control the breast support to move toward the compression plate so as to compress the breast from below between the breast support and the compression plate.
