Medical information processing apparatus and medical information processing method

A medical information processing method comprising:

• acquiring a first index value obtained based on fluid analysis that is performed based on an image including a first region of a blood vessel of a subject, the first index value being related to blood flow at each of positions in the first region of the blood vessel;
• acquiring clinical information of the subject from an external apparatus;
• judging whether the clinical information is a second index value obtained by inserting a pressure wire into a second region of the blood vessel of the subject and measuring a pressure, the second region of the blood vessel including at least a part of the first region of the blood vessel, the second index value being related to blood flow at each of the positions in the second region of the blood vessel;
• outputting a display control signal, when the clinical information is the second index value obtained by inserting a pressure wire into the second region of the blood vessel of the subject and measuring a pressure;
• displaying a first graph and a second graph on a display, the first graph being a graph in which the first index value at each of positions in a long axis direction of the blood vessel is plotted, and the second graph being a graph in which the second index value at each of the positions in the long axis direction of the blood vessel is plotted;
• and
• controlling, in accordance with reception of the display control signal, the display of the first graph and the second graph on the display such that the directions of the first and second graphs match each other.

A medical information processing system including a fluid analysis apparatus configured to perform fluid analysis on an image including a blood vessel, an external apparatus configured to acquire clinical information and a display apparatus, wherein

• the display apparatus comprising:
• processing circuitry configured to:
• acquire a first index value obtained based on fluid analysis that is performed based on an image including a first region of a blood vessel of a subject from the fluid analysis apparatus, the first index value being related to blood flow at each of positions in the first region of the blood vessel,
• acquire clinical information of the subject from the external apparatus,
• judge whether the clinical information is a second index value obtained by inserting a pressure wire into a second region of the blood vessel of the subject and measuring a pressure, the second region of the blood vessel including at least a part of the first region of the blood vessel, the second index value being related to blood flow at each of the positions in the second region of the blood vessel,
• output a display control signal, when the clinical information is the second index value obtained by inserting a pressure wire into the second region of the blood vessel of the subject and measuring a pressure,
• display a first graph and a second graph on a display, the first graph being a graph in which the first index value at each of positions in a long axis direction of the blood vessel is plotted, and the second graph being a graph in which the second index value at each of the positions in the long axis direction of the blood vessel is plotted, and
• control, in accordance with reception of the display control signal, the display of the first graph and the second graph on the display such that the directions of the first and second graphs match each other.
