    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes first specifier, second specifier, determiner and display controller. First specifier collates an ischemic region calculated from a blood vessel visualized into a three-dimensional image in a plurality of phases with a dominating region of the blood vessel, and specifies a culprit vessel in the ischemic region. Second specifier specifies a culprit stenosis in the culprit vessel based on a pressure index calculated from the blood vessel. Determiner determines a connection position to connect a bypass vessel that makes a detour around the culprit stenosis. Display controller displays the determined connection position on a display.

    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 diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an imager, a storage, and processing circuitry. The storage stores therein a correspondence relationship between each of disease patterns and scans used for performing a differential diagnosis process on the disease pattern. The processing circuitry obtains, based on image data acquired by a first scan, a disease pattern having a possibility of being applicable to the subject and a first index value indicating a degree of applicability of the disease pattern. The processing circuitry outputs information indicating the disease pattern to a display when it is possible to perform the differential diagnosis process based on the first index value and outputs an imaging condition used for performing a second scan based on the correspondence relationship and the disease pattern having the possibility when it is not possible to perform the differential diagnosis process based on the first index value.
