In one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to: receive an ultrasonic image generated from a signal that is acquired by a detector of an ultrasonic catheter inserted into an object's body; receive an X-ray image depicting the detector and an imaging target that is at least one of a medical device inserted into the object's body and a region of interest inside the object's body; detect a position of the detector depicted in the X-ray image and a position of the imaging target depicted in at least one of the ultrasonic image and the X-ray image; and uses respective positions of the detector and the imaging target to calculate moving support information for moving the ultrasonic catheter in a manner such that the imaging target is included within a field of view “FOV” of the detector or moved towards the center of the FOV.
