Abstract
Provided are a medical image processing apparatus, a medical image processing method, a program, a diagnosis supporting apparatus, and an endoscope system that emphasize a region of interest in a medical image at an appropriate emphasis degree. The above problem is solved by a medical image processing apparatus including: an emphasis processing unit that emphasizes a region of interest included in a time-series medical image at a set emphasis degree; a total-time measuring unit that measures a total time during which the region of interest is emphasized; and an emphasis-degree setting unit that sets the emphasis degree to a relatively larger value as the total time is relatively longer.
Claims21
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- an emphasis processing unit that emphasizes a region of interest included in a time-series medical image at a set emphasis degree;
- a total-time measuring unit that measures a total time during which the region of interest is emphasized;
- and
- an emphasis-degree setting unit that sets the emphasis degree to a relatively larger value as the total time is relatively longer.
A medical image processing method comprising:
- an emphasis processing step for emphasizing a region of interest included in a time-series medical image at a set emphasis degree;
- a total-time measuring step for measuring a total time during which the region of interest is emphasized;
- and
- an emphasis-degree setting step for setting the emphasis degree to a relatively larger value as the total time is relatively longer.
