Image processing apparatus, magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and image processing method
An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry recognizes at least one of chest wall, vessels, nodules, and tumors by increasing sensitivity to a gradient and a sensitivity to a cavity structure in three-dimensional data including a lung area. The processing circuitry generates lung image data corresponding to the lung area by performing a data removing process for removing data derived from the chest wall and a data holding process for holding data derived from at least one of the vessels, the nodules, and the tumors on a basis of a result obtained by the recognizing. The processing circuitry outputs the lung image data.
