Abstract

A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry detects, for each of target points corresponding to feature points, a reference point having a spatial correlation with the target point in a medical image. The processing circuitry generates candidate points corresponding to the target point for each of the target points by using a detection model. The processing circuitry selects, for each of the target points, a candidate point based on a position feature indicating a spatial position relationship between the target point and the reference point. The processing circuitry selects, for each of a plurality of candidate point combinations, a candidate point combination based on a structural feature indicating a spatial structural relationship between the target points. The processing circuitry outputs feature points in the medical image based on the selected candidate point and candidate point combination.
