Patent attributes
An image processing apparatus includes a moving image acquiring unit that acquires a moving image including a plurality of frame images a respiratory information acquiring unit that performs a respiratory information acquiring processing of acquiring respiratory information synchronized at times at which the frame images are captured, a blood-flow-restricted time determining unit that performs a blood-flow-restricted time determining processing of determining, on the basis of the respiratory information, a blood-flow-restricted time indicating a time at which the blood flow of the target region is assumed to be restricted due to respiration, and a blood flow analysis correcting unit that performs a blood-flow-analysis content correcting processing of excluding the frame image captured at the blood-flow-restricted time from targets for blood flow analysis or decreasing the blood-flow-analysis importance of the frame image compared with another time period.
