Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an image processing apparatus including a processor configured to: acquire projection images generated by performing tomosynthesis imaging; derive feature-structure projection images by extracting a specific structure from the plurality of projection images; derive feature-structure tomographic images respectively for tomographic planes of the subject by reconstructing the feature-structure projection images; detect at least one feature structure from the feature-structure tomographic images; and derive a corrected tomographic image for at least one tomographic plane of the subject by correcting misregistration between the projection images due to a body movement of the subject by using, as a reference, the feature structure in a corresponding tomographic plane corresponding to the feature-structure tomographic image from which the feature structure is detected, and reconstructing the projection images.
