Medical image processing apparatus and a medical image processing method
First Claim
1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- input interface circuitry configured to input at least three landmarks in a first slice image group and a second slice image group; and
processing circuitry configured todetermine, in each of the first slice image group and the second slice image group, a first axis connecting two points out of the landmarks and a second axis that passes through another point different from the two points out of the landmarks and is orthogonal to the first axis, andperform a registration between a plurality of first slice images belonging to the first slice image group and a plurality of second slice images belonging to the second slice image group by using the first axis and the second axis in the first slice image group and the first axis and the second axis in the second slice image group.

Abstract
According to embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes input interface circuitry and processing circuitry. The input interface circuitry inputs at least three landmarks in a first and second slice image group. The processing circuitry determines, in each of the first and second slice image group, a first axis connecting two points in the landmarks and a second axis that passes through another point different from the two points and is orthogonal to the first axis. The processing circuitry performs a registration between first slice images belonging to the first slice image group and second slice images belonging to the second slice image group by using the first and second axes in the first slice image group and the first and second axes in the second slice image group.
