Abstract
According to embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes input interface circuitry and processing circuitry. The input interface circuitry inputs at least three landmarks in a first and second slice image group. The processing circuitry determines, in each of the first and second slice image group, a first axis connecting two points in the landmarks and a second axis that passes through another point different from the two points and is orthogonal to the first axis. The processing circuitry performs a registration between first slice images belonging to the first slice image group and second slice images belonging to the second slice image group by using the first and second axes in the first slice image group and the first and second axes in the second slice image group.
