Abstract
An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a scanning protocol creation unit, an image acquisition unit, a post-processing unit, and a storage unit. The scanning protocol creation unit creates a scanning protocol for a particular part of body of an object. The image acquisition unit acquires source image data by scanning the particular part using an imaging device according to scanning parameters in the scanning protocol. The post-processing unit performs post-processing on the source image data according to post-processing parameters in the scanning protocol to obtain processed image data. The storage unit stores the scanning protocol, or store the source image data and the processed image data or index identifiers thereof in association with parameters related to the scanning protocol as single job data of the object. The scanning protocol includes the scanning and the post-processing parameters, and information related to the imaging device and the post-processing unit.
