  • MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND MEDICAL IMAGE TRANSFER SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160364525
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image processing apparatus includes memory circuitry, and transfer circuitry. The memory circuitry configured to store a plurality of medical images obtained by capturing a subject and a plurality of pieces of additional information respectively associated with the plurality of medical images. The transfer circuitry configured to transfer the plurality of medical images to an external apparatus in accordance with a predetermined transfer sequence. If the additional information associated with each medical image matches a predetermined determination condition, the transfer circuitry changes the predetermined transfer sequence, and transfers the plurality of medical images to the external apparatus.
