1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
acquire pixel values of at least three different types of magnetic resonance (MR) images;
cause a display to display a diagram in which values based on the pixel values are arranged in a region with at least three-dimensional axes, wherein
when a number of types of the MR images is greater than a number of dimensions of the diagram, the processing circuitry is further configured to determine at least one combination of MR images with a same number as the number of dimensions of the diagram among the MR images, and cause the display to display the diagram regarding the at least one combination, wherein
the processing circuitry is further configured to acquire pixel values of a region of interest in the MR images, and
the processing circuitry is further configured to determine the combination of the MR images based on a position of the region of interest.
