Abstract
A medical image processing device according to an embodiment includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured: to obtain an electron density function of an examined subject and information about a nuclide administered for the examined subject; to calculate a positron range kernel related to the examined subject, on the basis of the electron density function and the nuclide; and to reconstruct a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image of the examined subject, on the basis of the positron range kernel.
