Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a chronological transition of signal intensities for each of the pixels in a plurality of X-ray images chronologically acquired by using a contrast media. The processing circuitry is configured to correct the chronological transition of the signal intensities on the basis of a level of similarity between at least two mutually-different signal intensities within the chronological transition of the signal intensities.
