Title:
MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND X-RAY DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/162931
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment is provided with a vascular image-generating unit and a pixel value scale-generating unit. The vascular image-generating unit acquires temporal changes in the contrast medium concentration on the basis of at least the X-ray contrast image data and generates vascular image data having pixel values that correspond to the times at which the contrast medium concentration reached specified conditions according to a gray scale or color scale. The pixel value scale-generating unit creates said gray scale or color scale by assigning the changes in at least one cycle's worth of pixel values in a period shorter than the period from the initial time of the temporal changes in contrast medium concentration to the completion time.
