Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus including a storage, virtual endoscopic image generating unit, region identifying unit, and image generating unit. The storage stores three-dimensional images of a tubular body. The virtual endoscopic image generating unit generates, by using the three-dimensional images of the tubular body, virtual endoscopic images when an inside of a tract of the tubular body is observed based on a view point location and view direction placed inside the tract. The region identifying unit obtains an observation region and/or non-observation region based on the view point location and view direction by using the three-dimensional images. The image generating unit that generates an image that corresponds to the observation region and/or non-observation region are/is distinguishably displayed on the image obtained from the three-dimensional images.
