Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a fluorescence intensity information storage configured to store therein fluorescence intensity information and fluorescence intensity information; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: calculate intensities of fluorescence in a plurality of fluorescence images; create a three-dimensional fluorescence intensity distribution of the same living body from the calculated intensities of fluorescence of the plurality of fluorescence images; identify, by using the created fluorescence intensity distribution, body tissue that is matched with the fluorescence intensity information on the predetermined body tissue read from the fluorescence intensity information storage; identify, by using the created fluorescence intensity distribution, for each of pieces of the identified body tissue, a cell that is matched with the fluorescence intensity information on the detection target cell read from the fluorescence intensity information storage; and determine a state of the identified body tissue based on information on the identified cell.
