Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, medical image processing apparatus, and medical image processing method

A medical image processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• obtain volume data corresponding to at least one cardiac cycle and being taken of a region including a right ventricle of a patient;
• estimate motion information of a tissue in the region by using the volume data;
• calculate information including at least one selected from between wall motion information and volume information related to the right ventricle, on a basis of the motion information of the tissue;
• and
• output the calculated information, wherein
• the processing circuitry corrects first motion information of a right ventricular outflow tract, which is an outflow tract of the right ventricle, by using second motion information of a site that is positioned in a vicinity of the right ventricular outflow tract and exhibits motion similar to that of the right ventricular outflow tract.
