  • Patent number: 10755389
    Abstract: In a case where noise reduction processing is performed on an image acquired by radiography, the noise reduction processing is prevented from being influenced by other image processing performed in advance. A structure determination unit determines a structure present in a target pixel of a preprocessed captured image. A first image processing unit performs a predetermined image processing based on a determination result of the structure present in the target pixel of the preprocessed captured image. A second image processing unit performs image processing different from the predetermined image processing on an image acquired through the predetermined image processing performed by the first image processing unit.
