Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a storage unit, a blood flow information generation unit and a blood flow inhibition index generation unit. The storage unit stores volume data or data of a series of images regarding an organ of an object. The blood flow information generation unit generates, based on the volume data or the data of the series of images, first blood flow information of a first region and second blood flow information of a second region different from the first region. The blood flow inhibition index generation unit generates, based on the first blood flow information and the second blood flow information, a blood flow inhibition index representing a degree of inhibition of a blood flow in a blood vessel regarding the first region or the second region.
