Image processing apparatus and image processing method

Abstract

An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry configured to acquire medical image data; acquire, in relation to the medical image data, first region information representing a first region; acquire a first inference result by a first inference processing of applying a first inference model to first medical image data based on the medical image data, and a second inference result by a second inference processing of applying a second inference model to second medical image data based on the medical image data; and acquire, on the basis of the first region information, second region information that is a region satisfying a predetermined condition, from at least regions based on the first inference result or regions based on the second inference result. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire, as the second region information that is the region satisfying the predetermined condition: a region extending from the first region to outside of the first region, the region being among the regions based on the first inference result; or a region extending from the first region to the outside of the first region, the region being among the regions based on the second inference result.
