A medical image processing apparatus having a processor configured to detect at least four reference landmarks among the left eye, the right eye, the diencephalon, the fornix, the corpus callosum, the left hippocampus, and the right hippocampus from a brain image, performs first registration including registration by similarity transformation using reference landmarks between the brain image and a standard brain image, and perform second registration by nonlinear transformation between the brain image and the standard brain image after the first registration.
