1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
acquire an ultrasound image by capturing a vein in a predetermined region from a center to a periphery of a subject with an ultrasound probe;
detect an abnormal portion at which an abnormality occurs in the vein from the acquired ultrasound image;
determine whether a puncture in the vein is appropriate or inappropriate according to the detected abnormal portion, and output a determination result on a display,
wherein the abnormal portion is a portion at which a thrombus forms;
determine that a puncture at a position on a periphery side with respect to the abnormal portion is inappropriate in order to prevent the thrombus from exfoliating and reaching a circulatory organ; and
output information indicating a warning included in the determination result, wherein
the determination result includes at least an image of a vein to be punctured, and
the information indicating the warning is information, in the image of the vein to be punctured, that allows recognition of abnormalities in the vein on the center side.
