Abstract

A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry implements registration on a medical image and each of a plurality of reference images. The processing circuitry performs deformation on the medical image based on a result of the registration. The processing circuitry sets a first region of interest on the deformed medical image. The processing circuitry sets on at least two of the plurality of reference images, a second region of interest corresponding to the first region of interest. The processing circuitry retrieves from the reference images on which the second region of interest is set, a reference image similar to an image in the first region of interest.
