Abstract
A first-image and a second-image representing the same organ of the same subject imaged at the same time are obtained, and an organ-region is extracted from the first-image. The extracted organ-region is displayed on a display screen. An input of an air-region included in the first-image and an input of exceeding or lacking portion information representing that the air-region is a lacking portion or an exceeding portion of the organ are received, and the received air-region and the received exceeding or lacking portion information corresponding to the air-region are obtained, as correction information. Corresponding positions are matched with other between the first-image and the second-image. The organ-region extracted from the first-image is corrected based on the correction information. At least an air-region in the second-image located at a position corresponding to the air-region corresponding to the correction information is extracted, as a part of the organ-region in the second-image.
