Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a first parameter pertaining to a force at a coronary artery of a subject and a second parameter pertaining to at least one of a shape, character, and fluid resistance related to the coronary artery. The processing circuitry is configured to set, for at least either the first parameter or the second parameter, a weighting factor associated with an anatomical position of the coronary artery. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate, on the basis of the first parameter, the second parameter, and the weighting factor, an index pertaining to a risk on the subject.
