Abstract
According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, a detection algorithm storage, an abnormal area detecting unit and an outputting unit. The image acquiring unit acquires image data of a corpse. The detection algorithm storage stores an abnormal area detection algorithm. The abnormal area detecting unit uses the abnormal area detection algorithm to the image data of the corpse and analyzes the image data to detect an abnormal area. The outputting unit outputs information of the abnormal area detected by the abnormal area detecting unit.
Claims8
A medical image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image acquiring unit configured to acquire image data of a corpse;
- a detection algorithm storage unit in which an abnormal area detection algorithm is stored;
- an abnormal area detecting unit configured to apply the abnormal area detection algorithm to the image data of the corpse and analyze the image data to detect an abnormal area, wherein the abnormal area detecting unit is further configured to determine a level of influence on a cause of death by using at least one of previous illness information of the corpse, time information elapsed after the death, a symptom that appears immediately before the death and resuscitation information;
- and
- an outputting unit configured to output information of the abnormal area detected by the abnormal area detecting unit.
