1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
determine a first area and a second area in a medical image, wherein the first area corresponds to a mask area in the medical image;
estimate a blurring amount in the medical image including a biological body motion of a subject based on a plurality of features of the second area instead of the mask area;
detect a mask diameter of the mask area in the medical image;
perform, based on the blurring amount and the mask diameter, blurring correction processing so as not to remove a screen motion caused by the biological body motion; and
output a corrected medical image based on the blurring correction processing.
