The present invention employs an apparatus that includes a first acquisition unit that acquires information relating to an oxygen saturation distribution, a determination unit that determines, based on the information relating to the oxygen saturation distribution, whether a calculated value of an oxygen saturation at each of a plurality of positions is included in a first numerical range from 100% to a first value more than 100% or a second numerical range more than the first value, and a display control unit that causes a display unit to display an image of the oxygen saturation distributionso as to be able to distinguish whether the calculated value of the oxygen saturation at each position is included in the first or second numerical range based on a determination result.
