Abstract:
A medical image processing apparatus of the present invention has a three-dimensional model estimating section for estimating, based on an inputted two-dimensional image of an image of a living tissue within a body cavity, a three-dimensional model of the living tissue, a shape feature value calculating section for calculating shape feature values of respective voxels included in the three-dimensional model of the living tissue, a three-dimensional shape extracting section for extracting a first voxel group whose three-dimensional model has been estimated as a predetermined shape, in the respective voxels included in the three-dimensional model of the living tissue, based on the shape feature values, and a protruding shape detecting section for detecting the first voxel group as a voxel group configuring a protruding shape in the three-dimensional model of the living tissue.
