Abstract
This invention is directed towards a medical image processing apparatus capable of providing effective information on glaucoma by integrating the tomographic image of the retina obtained by an optical coherence tomograph (OCT: Optical Coherence Tomography) and visual function information obtained by a perimeter. The medical image processing apparatus associates visual field measurement results with a fundus camera image (S). The medical image processing apparatus registers, on the fundus camera image associated with the visual field measurement results, a layer thickness distribution which is obtained from an OCT tomographic image and indicates the thickness of the nerve fiber layer in the retina layer of an eye to be examined (S). After that, the medical image processing apparatus presents information indicating glaucoma of the eye to be examined, based on the layer thickness distribution registered on the fundus camera image, and the visual field measurement results (S).
