Abstract
A medical image processing system includes an angiographic image acquisition unit, a volume data generation unit, a vessel extraction unit, a sorting unit, and an image synthesis unit. The angiographic image acquisition unit acquires an angiographic image on a region including a blood vessel. The volume data generation unit three-dimensionally reconstructs the angiographic image to generate volume data. The vessel extraction unit extracts blood vessels on the basis of the volume data. The sorting unit sorts collateral circulations and ischemic blood vessels on the basis of the blood vessels. The image synthesis unit applies different image processes to the collateral circulations and the ischemic blood vessels, and generates a synthesized image.
