Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus and a medical image processing method that can improve extraction accuracy of a tumor region included in a diagnosis target image are provided. The medical image processing apparatus configured to extract a predetermined region from a diagnosis target image includes: an organ extraction unit configured to extract an organ region from the diagnosis target image; and a tumor extraction unit generated by executing machine learning using a known tumor region included in each medical image group as teacher data and using an organ region extracted from the medical image group and the medical image group as input data. The tumor extraction unit is configured to extract a tumor region from the diagnosis target image using the organ region extracted from the diagnosis target image by the organ extraction unit.
