Abstract

According to one embodiment, a medical processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry adds incidental information including information regarding a kind concerning each of a plurality of regions in a heart to an analysis result of each of the regions. The analysis result is obtained by analyzing medical data. The processing circuitry determines a display position of the analysis result of each of the regions based on the incidental information.

First claim

merge images corresponding to the identified regions.

4. The medical processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the incidental information includes information of a disease name regarding the region, and
the processing circuitry is configured to
identify a region related to the disease name and a region adjacent to the region related to the disease name from the regions based on the incidental information, and
merge images corresponding to the identified regions.

5. The medical processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the incidental information includes a plurality of measurement values measured in the region, and
the processing circuitry is configured to
identify a region corresponding to a measurement value outside a reference range among the measurement values, and a region adjacent to the region corresponding to the measurement value outside the reference range, and
merge the image corresponding to the identified region.

6. The medical processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the regions include the left ventricle, the left atrium, the right ventricle, and the right atrium.

7. The medical processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to
