Abstract
An image acquisition unit acquires a phase contrast image consisting of a plurality of phases for each of three spatial directions, in which a pixel value of each pixel represents a velocity of fluid for each of the three directions, the phase contrast image being acquired by imaging a subject including a structure inside which fluid flows by a three-dimensional cine phase contrast magnetic resonance method. An identification unit identifies a region of the structure in the phase contrast image on the basis of a maximum value of the velocity of the fluid between corresponding pixels in each of the phases of the phase contrast image.
