1. A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to:
associate multiple medical images in which an observation target is imaged by each of multiple imaging devices including a first imaging device and a second imaging device located at a same position relative to the observation target; and
depth-composite each of a medical image for a right eye and a medical image for a left eye among the multiple medical images by using information obtained by a third imaging device, wherein one or both of an in-focus position and an in-focus range of the third imaging device is different from an in-focus position and an in-focus range of the at least one of the first imaging device and the second imaging device.
