A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires image data including image data of a blood vessel of a subject. The processing circuitry performs analysis related to the blood vessel by using the image data, and specifies a region of interest in the blood vessel based on a result of the analysis. The processing circuitry performs fluid analysis on a region other than the region of interest at a first accuracy, and performs fluid analysis on the region of interest at a second accuracy that is higher than the first accuracy.

Medical image processing apparatus, medical image processing method, and X-ray CT apparatus

A control method for controlling data processing acquired from medical imaging modalities by using multiple data processors connected to multiple medical imaging modalities via a network. The method includes obtaining image information for imaging to be performed with an imaging modality from the multiple imaging modalities. The method also includes obtaining load information of the multiple data processors before the imaging is completed. Allocating, based on graph information generated based on the obtained load information, at least a part of the multiple data processors to processing of data acquired in imaging based on the imaging information. The control method may conclude by performing processing of the acquired data with the allocated data processing resource.

Medical image processing apparatus, medical image processing method, and x-ray CT apparatus

A system, method and computer readable medium to render, as a single image, source data from a network of data providers, that provide source data of a respective data type. A composition space contains two-dimensional (2D) display surfaces to which the source data is provided from the data providers, and transformation operator surfaces, which are located at different positions in a depth direction than the 2D display surfaces. Each of the transformation operator surfaces represent a respective visual transformation operation on surfaces of the 2D display surfaces that are positioned at lesser depths than the transformation operator surface. Using data-centric communication, updates are published to the 2D display surfaces, the updates including the source data from the data providers, and, upon detecting an update to a subscribed 2D display surface, the subscribed 2D display surface is rendered as the single image by performing the visual transformation operations.
