Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus comprises a memory configured to store medical image data representative of a tissue structure and a processing circuitry configured to operationally connect to the memory, extract regions from the medical image data by performing threshold processing of the medical image data using each of a plurality of threshold values, select regions meeting at least one predetermined condition from among the extracted regions, and determine a region representative of the tissue structure in the medical image data based on the selected regions.
