Abstract
There is provided a medical image processing apparatus for visualizing a tubular tissue contained in volume data. The apparatus includes: a central path determination section that determines a central path of the tubular tissue; a diameter determination section that determines a diameter of the tubular tissue at a certain point on the central path; a spacing determination section that determines at least two or more different projection spacings for projecting virtual rays along the central path, depending on the diameter of the tubular tissue; a cylindrical projection section that projects the virtual rays along the central path with the projection spacing that depends on the diameter of the tubular tissue; and an image generation section that generates a cylindrical projection image of the tubular tissue, based on information provided by projecting the virtual rays and the volume data.
