A graphics processing unit (GPU), an image processing apparatus including the GPU, and an image processing method using the GPU are provided. The graphics processing unit includes a texture memory configured to store a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) slices formed by slicing volume data or 2D texture, a texture mapping unit configured to perform 2D texture mapping on the 2D texture and to perform 2D texture sampling on the plurality of 2D slices, and a calculation processor configured to perform volume rendering using sampling values of the 2D texture sampling. |
