An image processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured: to obtain a plurality of images taken so as to include a target site of a subject in temporal phases; and to calculate an index indicating a state of an adhesion at a boundary between a first site of the subject corresponding to a first region and a second site of the subject corresponding to a second region, by using classification information used for classifying each of pixels into one selected from between a first class related to the first region and a second class related to a second region positioned adjacent to the first region in a predetermined direction, on a basis of mobility information among the images in the temporal phases with respect to the pixels in the images that are arranged in the predetermined direction across the boundary between the first region and the second region of the images.
