To provide a medical image processing apparatus and a medical image processing program capable of excellently supporting guidance of a medical device which penetrates a tissue, as compared with a conventional one.SOLUTION: The medical image processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is provided with: a receiving unit which receives volume data corresponding to an anatomical region including a tissue region to be pierced by a medical device; an image generation unit which maps the position of the medical device on the volume data and using the mapped position and the volume data, generates a guidance support image for supporting the guidance of the medical device with respect to at least a part of the tissue region on the basis of the position of the medical device; and a display unit which displays the guidance support image as the guidance support image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】組織を貫く医用機器の誘導を従来に比して良好に支援することができる医用画像処理装置及び医用画像処理プログラムを提供すること。【解決手段】本実施形態に係る医用画像処理装置は、医用機器によって貫かれる予定の組織領域を含む解剖学的領域に対応したボリュームデータを受け取る受け取り部と、前記医用機器の位置を前記ボリュームデータ上にマッピングし、前記マッピングされた位置と前記ボリュームデータとを用いて、前記組織領域の少なくとも一部に関して前記医用機器の誘導を支援するための誘導支援画像を、前記医用機器の位置を基準として生成する画像生成部と、前誘導支援画像として表示する表示部と、を具備する。【選択図】 図３
