Abstract

A medical image processing apparatus for visualizing a tissue includes: a memory; and a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes: acquiring volume data including the tissue; setting a cut surface for cutting the tissue in the volume data; and first performing processing relating to visualization of the tissue. The first performing includes: second performing rendering that causes ray attenuation on the volume data to generate a rendering image including the tissue cut along the cut surface; and displaying on a display unit display information including the rendering image in which a contour line of the tissue on the cut surface is highlighted.
