ABSTRACT:
A medical image processing apparatus which performs an image processing on a radiation image including a grid pattern obtained by performing radiography with a grid for eliminating scattered radiation, the grid being stationary and located between a subject and a detector for recording subject information, includes: a filtering section for extracting only the subject information from the radiation image by using a plurality of filters having different characteristics from each other, to eliminate the grid pattern.
