Abstract
Various embodiments of this disclosure provide a medical imaging apparatus and a method of processing a medical image. The medical imaging apparatus includes a data obtainer configured to obtain raw data generated by performing a tomography scan on an object. The medical imaging apparatus also includes a processor configured to obtain, from the raw data, a plurality of pieces of monochromatic image data respectively corresponding to a plurality of energy levels. The processor is also configured to receive an external input that sets a combination of weights respectively applied to the plurality of pieces of monochromatic image data. The processor is also configured to generate a synthetic image by applying the combination of the weights to the plurality of pieces of monochromatic image data. The medical imaging apparatus also includes a display configured to display the generated synthetic image.
