Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical image processing apparatus, an image processing method and a medical image device. The medical image processing apparatus comprises a deformation field calculation unit, a deformation field weighting unit and an image deformation unit. The deformation field calculation unit may calculate a field of deformation of a first image of an object with respect to a second image. The deformation field weighting unit may weight the field according to motion intensities of respective components of the object. The image deformation unit may deform the first image by using the weighted field.
