Medical image processing apparatus, medical image processing system, medical image processing method, and recording medium

A medical image processing system including a terminal operated by an operator and a server apparatus capable of communicating with the terminal, the medical image processing system comprising processing circuitry configured:

• to set a curved plane between a first bone region and a second bone region included in a joint, in three-dimensional medical image data obtained by imaging the joint including at least the first bone region and the second bone region;
• to planarly reshape at least one of the first and the second bone regions along extension of the curved plane to obtain a reshaped bone region;
• and
• to generate display-purpose image data on a basis of the reshaped bone region resulting from the planarly reshaping.

A computer program product which includes a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium comprising a plurality of computer-executable instructions that cause a computer to execute:

• setting a curved plane between a first bone region and a second bone region included in a joint, in three-dimensional medical image data obtained by imaging the joint including at least the first bone region and the second bone region;
• planarly reshaping at least one of the first and the second bone regions along extension of the curved plane to obtain a reshaped bone region;
• and
• generating display-purpose image data on a basis of the reshaped bone region resulting from the planarly reshaping.
