    Abstract: Noise is reduced for a medical image for which noise cannot be quantified by a general-purpose image quality evaluation index. An image processor has a preprocessor that generates input images including an original image and one or more images with reduced noise compared with the original image; and a noise reduction processor outputs an image, which is obtained by reducing noise from the original image based on the input images, by applying a learned network. The learned network used in the noise reduction processor is constructed by performing deep learning using a plurality of learning sets in which one or more of a medical image including noise, a noise-reduced image obtained by performing noise reduction processing on the medical image, and an intermediate image obtained during the noise reduction processing are input images and a correct image is obtained based on the input images an output image.
