A medical image processing apparatus includes: a display unit； and circuitry configured to: acquire volume data of a subject； set a target to be placed inside the subject in 3D data based on the volume data； and visualize the 3D data to display an image and information on the display unit. In the image, an epithelial tissue of the subject is not displayed, is transparent, or is semi-transparent. The information represents a port placement range where a port through which a surgical instrument reaching the target is inserted is placeable on the epithelial tissue.
