X-RAY DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS, MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to extract a characteristic site in a lumen that may be a constraint during insertion of a surgical device, from medical image data used for determining a path through which the surgical device is to be inserted. On the basis of the characteristic site, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a tip end direction defined in accordance with a curved shape of a tip end part of the surgical device, in each of a plurality of positions on the path. The processing circuitry is configured to output path information including the tip end direction in each of the positions on the path.
