A medical image processing apparatus has a parameter calculating unit, a
storage unit, and an image generating unit. The parameter calculating
unit analyzes data of a plurality of time-series medical images, each
containing an image of an organ having a functional blood vessel and a
feeding blood vessel, and calculates a parameter based on at least a
blood volume in the feeding blood vessel. The storage unit stores in
advance a table that associates parameters with degrees of a cancer
progression of the organ. The image generating unit refers to the table,
obtains a degree of the cancer progression corresponding to the
calculated parameter, and generates an image to which the obtained degree
is applied on a region-by-region basis.
