Abstract
A diagnosis support program causes a computer to execute a derivation procedure of deriving, on the basis of a first pathological image corresponding to a first affected tissue, history information regarding a history of viewing the first pathological image, and diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image, diagnosis support information for supporting diagnosis of a second pathological image corresponding to a second affected tissue to be diagnosed.
Claims21
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program which, when executed, causes a computer to perform processing comprising:
- a derivation procedure of deriving, on a basis of a first pathological image corresponding to a first affected tissue wherein the first pathological image comprises a plurality of pixels, history information regarding a history of viewing the first pathological image comprising a number of times the first pathological image was viewed and a length of time over which the first pathological image has been viewed and a position of a portion of the first pathological image that was enlarged and displayed, and diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image, diagnosis support information for supporting diagnosis of a second pathological image corresponding to a second affected tissue to be diagnosed;
- and
- a learning procedure comprising assigning at least one of the plurality of pixels an attention value based on a magnification ratio of the at least one pixel, a viewing time of the at least one pixel, a number of times the at least one pixel was viewed, generating a map image comprising the attention values corresponding to the plurality of pixels, and determining the diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image by identifying a first portion of the first pathological image having a positive result and a second portion of the first pathological image having a negative result.
A diagnosis support system comprising:
- a microscope;
- and
- a derivation device that derives diagnosis support information, which is information for supporting diagnosis,
- wherein the derivation device derives, on a basis of a first pathological image corresponding to a first affected tissue, history information regarding a history of viewing the first pathological image comprising a number of times the first pathological image was viewed and a length of time over which the first pathological image has been viewed and a position of a portion of the first pathological image that was enlarged and displayed, and diagnostic information for the first affected tissue, diagnosis support information for supporting diagnosis of a second pathological image corresponding to a second affected tissue to be diagnosed that has been imaged by the microscope;
- and a learning procedure,
- wherein the learning procedures assigns at least one of the plurality of pixels an attention value based on a magnification ratio of the at least one pixel, a viewing time of the at least one pixel, a number of times the at least one pixel was viewed, generates a map image comprising the attention values corresponding to the plurality of pixels, and determines the diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image by identifying a first portion of the first pathological image having a positive result and a second portion of the first pathological image having a negative result.

A diagnosis support method comprising:
- deriving, by a computer, on a basis of a first pathological image corresponding to a first affected tissue, history information regarding a history of viewing the first pathological image comprising a number of times the first pathological image was viewed and a length of time over which the first pathological image has been viewed and a position of a portion of the first pathological image that was enlarged and displayed, and diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image, diagnosis support information for supporting diagnosis of a second pathological image corresponding to a second affected tissue to be diagnosed;
- assigning, by the computer, at least one of the plurality of pixels an attention value based on a magnification ratio of the at least one pixel, a viewing time of the at least one pixel, a number of times the at least one pixel was viewed,
- generating, by the computer, a map image comprising the attention values corresponding to the plurality of pixels, and
- determining, by the computer, the diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image by identifying a first portion of the first pathological image having a positive result and a second portion of the first pathological image having a negative result.
1 more element
A diagnosis support system comprising:
- a microscope;
- and software used for processing of a pathological image corresponding to an object to be imaged by the microscope,
- wherein the software causes an information processing device to execute, on a basis of a first pathological image corresponding to a first affected tissue, history information regarding a history of viewing the first pathological image comprising a number of times the first pathological image was viewed and a length of time over which the first pathological image has been viewed and a position of a portion of the first pathological image that was enlarged and displayed, and diagnostic information for the first affected tissue, processing of deriving diagnosis support information for supporting diagnosis of a second pathological image corresponding to a second affected tissue to be diagnosed that has been imaged by the microscope;
- and
- wherein the software further causes the information processing device to execute a learning procedure comprising assigning at least one of the plurality of pixels an attention value based on a magnification ratio of the at least one pixel, a viewing time of the at least one pixel, a number of times the at least one pixel was viewed, generating a map image comprising the attention values corresponding to the plurality of pixels, determining the diagnostic information for the first affected tissue corresponding to the first pathological image by identifying a first portion of the first pathological image having a positive result and a second portion of the first pathological image having a negative result.
