Abstract
An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire pieces of change information indicating temporal changes in computed tomography (CT) values of a myocardium and a right ventricular of a subject based on a plurality of chronologically consecutive images that are generated by an X-ray CT apparatus by scanning the subject to which a contrast agent is administered. The processing circuitry is configured to correct the piece of change information on the myocardium based on the piece of change information on the right ventricular.
