1. A medical image processing apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
acquire medical image data to be processed,
specify a target area to be subjected to a super-resolution process and an out-of-target area not to be subjected to the super-resolution process from the medical image data based on of the medical image data, the super-resolution process being for improving image quality,
output information representing the specified target area and information representing the specified out-of-target area,
perform the super-resolution process on cropped image data resulting from cropping the specified target area from the medical image data. based on the information representing the specified target area,
generate merged image data by merging super-resolution image data with out-of-target-area image data representing the specified out-of-target area of the medical image data, the super-resolution image data being the cropped image data subjected to the super-resolution process; and
display the generated merged image data.
