Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains a morphological image and a functional image including at least a predetermined anatomical structure of a test subject; obtains reference morphological data and reference functional data corresponding to the morphological image and the functional image, respectively; individually segments the morphological image and the reference morphological data according to a function of interest appearing on the functional image; segments the functional image with reference to the segmental morphological images, and segments the reference functional data with reference to the segmental reference morphological data; performs a first registration process for aligning the segmental morphological images and the segmental reference morphological data with each other; and performs a second registration process for aligning the segmental functional images and the segmental reference functional data with each other according to a result of the first registration process.
