Title:
MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, X-RAY CT APPARATUS AND MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/099004
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a medical image processing apparatus capable of improving the accuracy of identifying malignant transformation of tumor candidates. The medical image processing apparatus of an embodiment has a specifying means, a first computing means, a second computing means, and a third computing means. The specifying means receives medical image data that is obtained by imaging of a subject by a medical image capturing apparatus and specifies a tumor candidate from said medical image data. The first computing means determines morphologic information representing morphologic characteristics of the specified tumor candidate on the basis of said medical image data. The second computing means determines functional information in the specified tumor candidate on the basis of said medical image data. The third computing means determines a progression characteristic value representing the disease progression of the disease candidate on the basis of the morphologic information and functional information.
