<p>Provided is an image processing apparatus that automatically recognizes a plurality of organs, thereafter displays recognition results in an easy-to-understand manner, and further allows the displayed recognition results to be readily modified. The image processing apparatus (23) uses a given image processing algorithm to perform an image processing of medical image volume data. The image processing apparatus (23) comprises: an organ recognition algorithm executing unit (11) that applies an organ recognition algorithm to medical image volume data to generate and output, as an organ recognition result, structural information of each organ to be identified; and a recognition result displaying unit (32) that displays the organ recognition result. The image processing apparatus (23) further comprises: a recognition result determining unit (12) that acquires, via an input device (21), determination information of recognition status indicating whether or not the structural information has successfully been recognized as the organ to be identified; and an organ recognition algorithm improving unit (11) that acquires the determination information from the recognition result determining unit (12), changes reference information of each organ in accordance with the determination information, and further changes, by use of the reference information as changed, the organ recognition algorithm so as to recognize the organ to be identified.</p> |
