Abstract
The image processing apparatus includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain first volume data showing a morphological shape of an object and second volume data showing information corresponding to a position spatially different from a position of the object. The processing circuitry is configured to provide the information in the second volume data to the position of the object in the first volume data.
Claims20
An image processing apparatus, comprising
- processing circuitry configured to
- obtain first volume data showing a morphological shape of a coronary artery supplying nutrition to a heart and second volume data showing cardiac function information, or obtain first volume data showing a morphological shape of a head blood vessel and second volume data showing brain function information, and
- provide luminance information from the second volume data at a position of the coronary artery or the head blood vessel in the first volume data.
A medical image diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
- a scanner imaging a heart to generate one of first volume data showing a morphological shape of a coronary artery supplying nutrition to the heart and second volume data showing cardiac function information, or taking an imaging of a head to generate one of first volume data showing a morphological shape of a head blood vessel and second volume data showing brain function information;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to obtain other data between the first volume data and the second volume data, and
- provide luminance information from the second volume data at a position of the coronary artery or the head blood vessel in the first volume data.

An image processing method, comprising:
- obtaining first volume data showing a morphological shape of a coronary artery supplying nutrition to a heart and second volume data showing cardiac function information from a memory, or obtaining first volume data showing a morphological shape of a head blood vessel and second volume data showing brain function information;
- providing luminance information from the second volume data at a position of the coronary artery or the head blood vessel in the first volume data to generate third volume data;
- and
- displaying the third volume data as an image to a display.
