1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing a program; and
at least one processor which, by executing the program, causes the image processing apparatus to:
acquire three-dimensional ultrasonic image of a heart of a test subject including a plurality of target objects, the three-dimensional ultrasonic image being imaged from an esophagus of the test subject by a three-dimensional ultrasonic probe for trans-esophageal echocardiography inserted into the test subject;
acquire type information indicating one of the plurality of target objects;
acquire angle information indicating a rotation angle of a scan face of the three-dimensional ultrasonic probe; and
perform correction to rotate the three-dimensional ultrasonic image so that an orientation of the one of the plurality of target objects in the three-dimensional ultrasonic image aligns with a representative direction based on the type information and the angle information.
