Abstract

The medical image processing apparatus includes a medical image acquisition unit that acquires a medical image; and a lesion detection unit that detects a lesion region in the medical image. The lesion detection unit includes a first identifier that identifies a lesion region candidate in the medical image and a second identifier that identifies whether the lesion region candidate identified by the first identifier is a blood vessel region, and detects the lesion region candidate that is not identified as the blood vessel region by the second identifier as the lesion region.
