Abstract
An aspect provides an image processing apparatus processing three-dimensional image data generated based on a photoacoustic wave generated from inside of a subject. The image processing apparatus includes first three-dimensional image acquisition unit for acquiring first three-dimensional image data in which a first region corresponding to a first substance in the subject is extracted from the three-dimensional image data, second three-dimensional image acquisition unit for acquiring second three-dimensional image data in which a second region corresponding to a second substance in the subject is extracted from the three-dimensional image data, first two-dimensional image acquisition unit for acquiring first two-dimensional image data associated with three-dimensional positional information of the first region from the first three-dimensional image data, and second two-dimensional image acquisition unit for acquiring second two-dimensional image data associated with three-dimensional positional information of the second region from the second three-dimensional image data.
