An apparatus acquires a first converted image by converting resolution of a first image of a subject into first resolution, acquires a second converted image by converting resolution of a second image into the first resolution, acquires first deformation information for executing image registration between the first converted image and the second converted image with the first resolution, and generates a subtraction image with the first resolution based on the first deformation information, the subtraction image showing a difference between the first converted image and the second converted image, or generates a second subtraction image based on second deformation information obtained in such a manner that resolution of the first deformation information is converted into the resolution of the first image, the second subtraction image showing a difference between the first image and the second image.
