Abstract
A medical image processing device includes a first image acquiring unit, a second image acquiring unit, a first likelihood distribution calculating unit, a trackability determining unit, and a tracking unit. The first image acquiring unit acquires first images which are transparent images of the patient. The second image acquiring unit acquires second images which are transparent images of the patient generated at a time different from that of the first images. The first likelihood distribution calculating unit calculates a first likelihood distribution indicating a distribution of likelihoods indicating a likeness to the object in the first images. The trackability determining unit determines whether the object is trackable on the basis of the first likelihood distribution. The tracking unit tracks the position of the object in the second images on the basis of the result of determination.
