Abstract
A medical image processor and a storage medium are shown. According to one implementation, the medical image processor includes the following. An input unit is used to input a cell shape image and a fluorescent image showing expression of a specific protein. A cell nucleus extracting unit extracts a cell nucleus. A fluorescent bright point extracting unit extracts a fluorescent bright point. A region estimating unit sets a predetermined region. When the set region does not overlap with another, it is estimated to include one cell. When a plurality of the set regions overlap, it is estimated to include a plurality of cells. A feature amount calculating unit calculates a feature amount. A determining unit determines whether each estimated cell region is cancer and determines an expression status in the region based on the calculated feature amount. An output unit outputs a determination result.
