A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a program that causes a computer to perform an obtaining process, an analyzing process, and an extracting process. In the obtaining process, the computer obtains a radiographic moving image showing a motion of a specific part of an examinee. In the analyzing process, the computer analyzes the radiographic moving image obtained in the obtaining process. In the extracting process, the computer extracts, among frames constituting the radiographic moving image, a specific frame that visibly shows a detection target in the specific part, based on a result of analyzing a dynamic state of the specific part in the analyzing process.
