1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
acquire a three-dimensional image by capturing, with a camera, a subject laid on a table of a magnetic-resonance imaging apparatus;
recognize an object included in the acquired three-dimensional image;
detect, based on a three-dimensional arrangement in the acquired three-dimensional image, a loop having a potential of generating an induced current by a magnetic field generated by the magnetic-resonance imaging apparatus, the loop being either a first loop formed by a combination of the subject and a cable of a radio frequency (RF) coil used in the magnetic-resonance imaging apparatus or a second loop formed by the subject; and
display, on a display, a detection position image in which a first image indicating the detected loop in a highlighted form is superimposed on a second image showing respective parts of the magnetic-resonance imaging apparatus.
