Estimating the term…
A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires image data including image data of a blood vessel of a subject. The processing circuitry performs analysis related to the blood vessel by using the image data, and specifies a region of interest in the blood vessel based on a result of the analysis. The processing circuitry performs fluid analysis on a region other than the region of interest at a first accuracy, and performs fluid analysis on the region of interest at a second accuracy that is higher than the first accuracy.
1-3. (canceled)
An apparatus for fluid analysis in a blood vessel based on analysis of a coronary artery image, the apparatus comprising:
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to set, as a region of interest, a region in which a coronary vessel diameter is smaller than a pre-defined threshold, and display an indicator indicating a position of the region of interest on the color map.
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to receive, from an operator, an operation to set a region of interest and an operation to instruct to execute analysis, and, when receiving the operation to instruct to execute the analysis, perform the fluid analysis again.
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to generate a synthesis model of the coronary artery region by coupling models having different analysis accuracies, and perform the fluid analysis by using the synthesis model.
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to detect a vessel branch, based on a shape of the coronary artery region, and display a warning message related to reliability of fluid analysis, based on the detected vessel branch.
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
A method for fluid analysis in a blood vessel based on analysis of a coronary artery image, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having plural computer-executable instructions recorded therein, the instructions causing a computer to execute:
