    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a storage memory, processing circuitry, and a display. The storage memory stores data of a plurality of FFR distribution maps constituting a time series regarding a coronary artery, and data of a plurality of morphological images corresponding to the time series. The processing circuitry converts the plurality of FFR distribution maps into a plurality of corresponding color maps, respectively. The display displays a plurality of superposed images obtained by superposing the plurality of color maps and the plurality of morphological images respectively corresponding in phase to the plurality of color maps. The display restricts display targets for the plurality of color maps based on the plurality of FFR distribution maps or the plurality of morphological images.

    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus of an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire time-series medical images including blood vessels of an examination subject, the time-series medical images being fluoroscopically captured in at least one direction at a plurality of points in time, generate a blood vessel shape model including time-series variation information about the blood vessels in an analysis region of the blood vessels on the basis of the acquired time-series medical images, and perform fluid analysis of blood flowing through the blood vessels on the basis of the generated blood vessel shape model.

    Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a first parameter pertaining to a force at a coronary artery of a subject and a second parameter pertaining to at least one of a shape, character, and fluid resistance related to the coronary artery. The processing circuitry is configured to set, for at least either the first parameter or the second parameter, a weighting factor associated with an anatomical position of the coronary artery. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate, on the basis of the first parameter, the second parameter, and the weighting factor, an index pertaining to a risk on the subject.
