Abstract
The medical image processing apparatus disclosed herein includes processing circuitry configured to generate a first medical image by changing a value of an image quality parameter of a reference medical image with a first change strength predetermined for the image quality parameter, generate a second medical image by changing the value of the image quality parameter of the reference medical image with a second change strength greater than the first change strength; and switch and display the first medical image and the second medical images on a screen.
Claims20
A medical image processing apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- generate a first medical image based on a reference medical image, by changing a value of an image quality parameter of the reference medical image with a first change strength, wherein the first change strength is predetermined for the image quality parameter and the image quality parameter has been selected by a user in order to change the value of the image quality parameter with the first change strength;
- generate a second medical image based on the reference medical image, which is a same image from which the first medical image was generated, by changing the value of the image quality parameter of the reference medical image with a second change strength, wherein the second change strength is greater than the first change strength;
- and
- switch and display the first medical image and the second medical image on a screen,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to first automatically display the second medical image on the screen, after the image quality parameter has been selected by the user, and then automatically later display the first medical image on the screen.
A control method of a medical image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- generating a first medical image based on a reference medical image, by changing a value of an image quality parameter of the reference medical image with a first change strength, wherein the first change strength is predetermined for the image quality parameter and the image quality parameter has been selected by a user in order to change the value of the image quality parameter with the first change strength;
- generating a second medical image based on the reference medical image, which is a same image from which the first medical image was generated, by changing the value of the image quality parameter of the reference medical image with a second change strength, wherein the second change strength is greater than the first change strength;
- and
- switching and displaying the first medical image and the second medical image, wherein the second medical image is automatically displayed, after the image quality parameter has been selected by the user, and then later the first medical image is automatically displayed on the screen.
