Abstract: A processor analyzes an image obtained by imaging a subject including a tubular structure in which a fluid flows, thereby deriving fluid information regarding flow of the fluid at each of pixel positions in the tubular structure. The processor derives, within the tubular structure included in the image, a matching degree between the fluid information at a plurality of pixel-of-interest positions set at a first sampling interval and the fluid information at a plurality of pixel positions within a predetermined region based on the pixel-of-interest positions. The processor sets a second sampling interval for displaying the fluid information in accordance with the matching degree. The processor samples the fluid information at the set second sampling interval and causes a display to display the fluid information.
