Abstract
A diagnosis target image is input, and a template ROI which is set on an image to divide the area on the image into predetermined areas in anatomical terms, physiological terms, or other scientific terms is read out from a storage unit. A matching processing unit warps the template ROI in correspondence with each diagnosis target image on the basis of the feature information of the diagnosis target image extracted by a feature information extraction unit. This warping is executed until an index indicating the degree of matching between the template ROI and the diagnosis image exceeds a predetermined threshold. The warped template ROI is displayed on a display unit upon being superimposed on the diagnosis image.
Claims20
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit which stores at least one of template ROIs set on an image;
- an input unit which inputs a diagnosis target image;
- a matching processing unit which executes first matching processing of matching the template ROI with the diagnosis target image used for image diagnosis by warping the template ROI;
- and
- an output unit which outputs the warped template ROI and the diagnosis image in a predetermined form.
A medical image processing method comprising:
- first matching processing of matching a template ROI set on an image with a diagnosis target image used for image diagnosis by warping the template ROI;
- and
- outputting the warped template ROT and the diagnosis image in a predetermined form.
