Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry configured: to sequentially acquire X-ray images; to set a unit number of frames used as a unit during image processing; and to sequentially generate images in each of which a pixel value of each pixel expresses either the largest pixel value or the smallest pixel value among corresponding pixels in X-ray images corresponding to the unit number of frames, on the basis of the X-ray images corresponding to the unit number of frames including each of new X-ray image that is sequentially acquired and at least one X-ray image acquired before the new X-ray image.
Claims20
A medical image processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured:
- to sequentially acquire X-ray images;
- to set a unit number of frames used as a unit during image processing;
- and
- to sequentially generate images in each of which a pixel value of each pixel expresses either a largest pixel value or a smallest pixel value among corresponding pixels in X-ray images corresponding to the unit number of frames, on a basis of the X-ray images corresponding to the unit number of frames including each of new X-ray image that is sequentially acquired and at least one X-ray image acquired before the new X-ray image.
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store therein time series X-ray images;
- and
- processing circuitry configured:
- to set a unit number of frames used as a unit during image processing;
- and
- to generate an image in which a pixel value of each pixel expresses either a largest pixel value or a smallest pixel value among corresponding pixels in X-ray images corresponding to the unit number of frames, while using each of a plurality of consecutive frames included in the X-ray images in the time series as a target frame, on a basis of the X-ray images corresponding to the unit number of frames including the X-ray image in the target frame that is among the time series X-ray images and at least one X-ray image acquired before the X-ray image in the target frame.
