Medical image processing apparatus, medical image diagnostic apparatus, medical image processing method, and ultrasonic image processing method

A medical image diagnostic apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• collect a plurality of chronological medical images;
• set a first region of interest in at least one of the medical images;
• carry out first tracking processing of tracking the motion of the first region of interest between the medical images and second tracking processing of tracking the motion of a second region of interest, different from the first region of interest, between the medical images;
• and
• calculate the motion of the second region of interest with respect to the first region of interest by using the result of the first tracking processing and the result of the second tracking processing.

A medical image processing method comprising:

• setting a first region of interest in at least one of a plurality of medical images;
• carrying out first tracking processing of tracking the motion of the first region of interest between the medical images and second tracking processing of tracking the motion of a second region of interest, different from the first region of interest, between the medical images;
• and
• calculating the motion of the second region of interest with respect to the first region of interest by using the result of the first tracking processing and the result of the second tracking processing.

An ultrasonic image processing method comprising:

• carrying out first tracking processing of tracking the chronological movement state of the eyeball region of a fetus in ultrasonic images;
• carrying out second tracking processing of determining erroneous tracking from the result of the first tracking processing and correcting the result;
• and
• re-tracking the chronological movement state of the eyeball region by using the result of the second tracking processing.
