Analyzing apparatus and analyzing method

An analyzing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured:

• to calculate a tissue characteristic parameter value with respect to each of a plurality of positions within a region of interest, by analyzing a result of a scan performed on a patient;
• to determine a measurement candidate region in the region of interest by performing an analysis while using the tissue characteristic parameter values;
• and
• to cause the measurement candidate region to be displayed over an image based on the tissue characteristic parameter values.
