1. A medical image processing device that applies information to an organ appearing in a three-dimensional medical image, the medical image processing device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the one or more processors, configured to store a medical image processing program when executed by the one or more processors, causes the device to:
acquire a user operation;
specify from the three-dimensional medical image in which one or more organs appear, an organ of interest to which to apply information;
apply color information or pattern information to the organ of interest that has been specified in the three-dimensional medical image in response to the user operation; and
control a display device so as to display the three-dimensional medical image;
wherein the medical image processing program further causes the device to:
acquire a designated place representing a place that is designated in response to the user operation,
specify as the organ of interest from the three-dimensional medical image, an organ positioned at the designated place that has been acquired, and
apply the color information or the pattern information to the organ of interest that has been specified,
wherein the medical image processing program further causes the device to:
acquire a first designated place representing the designated place that is initially designated in response to the user operation and thereafter acquires a second designated place representing the designated place that is designated in response to the user operation,
specify as the organ of interest from the three-dimensional medical image, an organ positioned at the first designated place that has been acquired, and
apply the color information or the pattern information to the second designated place of the organ of interest that has been specified,
wherein the medical image processing program further causes the device to:
acquire a series of second designated places, and
continuously apply the color information or the pattern information to places in the series of the second designated places of the organ of interest that has been specified, in response to the user operation.
