1. A medical image processing system, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
acquire a real-time three-dimensional (3D) surgical image of an operation site stereoscopically viewable by a surgeon and a 3D model image that is a stereoscopic computer graphics (CG) image associated with the real-time 3D surgical image;
perform enhancement such that a location of the 3D model image at specific spatial positions is enhanced with respect to one of the real-time 3D surgical image or the 3D model image, at start of superimposition of the 3D model image at the specific spatial positions when the real-time 3D surgical image is stereoscopically viewed based on information set for the 3D model image; and
generate the 3D model image that moves back-and-forth in a depth direction with respect to the specific spatial positions in the real-time 3D surgical image.
