    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry that obtains 1st projection data of a 1st region with 1st dynamic data and 2nd projection data of a 2nd region with 2nd dynamic data; when the 1st and 2nd dynamic data exceed a threshold and match in magnitude of motion, extracts, from the 1st and 2nd projection dataset for an angular range at a time interval or for the magnitude, a 1st projection dataset and 2nd projection dataset, respectively; when the 1st and 2nd dynamic data exceed the threshold and differ in the magnitude, extracts the 1st projection dataset from the 1st projection data for the magnitude, and extracts the 2nd projection dataset for the same magnitude from the 2nd projection data; reconstructs 1st and 2nd volume data based on the 1st and 2nd projection datasets, respectively; and generates volume data concatenating the 1st and 2nd volume data.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical device operation method includes a monitoring step and an application step. In the monitoring step, a monitoring apparatus executes first CT imaging on a treatment target person into which a first drug particle with a suppressed onset of a treatment effect is introduced, and monitors an accumulation of the first drug particles in a tissue, based on spectral information acquired by the first CT imaging. In the application step, an application apparatus applies an action for exerting the treatment effect of the first drug particle to the first drug particle accumulating in the tissue, by using as a trigger an event that the accumulation of the first drug particles in the tissue satisfies an objective condition.
