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

A medical image processing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a storage device in which a program executed using the processor is stored,
• wherein the processor is configured to execute a command of the program to acquire a three-dimensional medical image,
• set a separation plane for separating a first region specified in the medical image,
• measure a first distance which is a nearest neighbor distance between any position on a surface of the first region and the separation plane,
• measure a second distance which is a nearest neighbor distance between any position on a surface of a second region specified in the medical image and the separation plane, and
• display at least one of first distance information indicating the first distance or second distance information indicating the second distance in a case where the medical image is displayed on a display device, wherein the first distance is between a first point on the surface of the first region and a first correspondence point on the separation plane,
• wherein the second distance is between a second point on the surface of the second region and a second correspondence point on the separation plane, and
• wherein the processor is further configured to display a resection line comprising the first correspondence point and the second correspondence point along with at least one of the first distance information or the second distance information on the display.
