Medical image processing apparatus, medical image processing method, and program

A medical image processing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores a program to be executed by the processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• by executing a command of the program,
• acquire a three-dimensional medical image,
• receive an input of information indicating a lesion region included in the medical image,
• determine, from the medical image, a measurement reference surface serving as a measurement reference for lesion evaluation,
• three-dimensionally measure a distance between the lesion region and the measurement reference surface,
• in response to a first measurement reference surface outside a lesion region being determined as the measurement reference surface, display a measurement result including information indicating a closest distance between the lesion region and the measurement reference surface together with the medical image;
• and
• in response to a second measurement reference surface intersecting with the lesion region being determined as the measurement reference surface, display another measurement result including information indicating a farthest distance between the lesion region and the measurement reference surface.
