Abstract:
A medical image diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a gantry and a processor. The gantry includes an imaging system configured to perform an imaging process on a subject by using one of radiation and magnetism. The processor is configured to generate a second image by combining a first image acquired by imaging the subject while using an optical imaging device different from the imaging system, with a plane related to an imaging position in the imaging process using the imaging system.
