Abstract
According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires correspondence information, based on 3D medical image data of an object, that corresponds a blood vessel to information on a dominant area of the blood vessel in a region of the object. The processing circuitry acquires a plurality of X-ray images each including the blood vessel that are collected at different time phases on the object. The processing circuitry identifies, based on the plurality of X-ray images, a flow changed vessel in which blood flow has changed between the different time phases. The processing circuitry performs registration between the flow changed vessel and the 3D medical image data. The processing circuitry estimates information on the dominant area corresponding to the flow changed vessel based on registration results and the acquired correspondence information.
