Abstract
An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry extracts a fixed object included in chronologically collected X-ray images and having a substantially fixed position. The processing circuitry detects a target object included in each of the X-ray images, on the basis of extraction results of the fixed object. The processing circuitry generates a plurality of corrected images by a correction process to substantially match, with a reference position, the detected position of the target object in an X-ray image other than a reference X-ray image, the reference position being the detected position of the target object in the reference X-ray image.
