Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises an image data acquisition section, a variation detecting section, a selecting section, and a storage section. The image data acquisition section acquires a series of image data groups including a time-varying element of a subject under examination. The variation detecting section detects a variation of the varying element in the series of image data groups. The selecting section selects a desired image data group out of the image data groups on the basis of the variation detected by the detecting section. The storage section stores the desired image data selected by the selecting section.
