Abstract
According to one embodiment, it is an subject to reduce the occasion that a region of interest falls outside an image due to the influence of respiratory motion or pulsation. A medical image processing apparatus causes an slice image generation unit to generate a series of slice images from a series of volume data files associated with a three-dimensional region of an subject, and causes a slice position determination unit to determine each of a plurality of slices respectively corresponding to the slice images based on the position of a specific region included in the plurality of volume data files.
