Abstract
An image processing apparatus including: an acquisition unit that acquires a first radiographic image captured by irradiating a subject, in which a contrast agent is administered, with radiation of a first energy and a second radiographic image captured by irradiating the subject with radiation of a second energy; a generation unit that generates a difference image between the first and the second radiographic image; and a correction unit that performs a correction on either one of the first and second radiographic images or the difference image to remove an artifact component which generates an artifact predetermined as an appearance similar to that of a contrast agent imaging by the contrast agent, wherein, in a case in which the correction unit performs the correction on the first and the second radiographic image, the generation unit generates a difference image between the corrected first and second radiographic image.
