Medical image diagnostic apparatus, medical image diagnostic method, and storage medium

A medical image diagnosis method, using a computer, the method comprising:

• acquiring physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion;
• controlling a display to display a plurality of methods for deriving a recommended position information of a bed device, the plurality of methods using different reference examination subject information;
• determining a method for deriving as selected by an operator among the displayed plurality of methods for deriving;
• deriving and outputting bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the acquired information about the imaging target portion, using the determined method for deriving, the bed position information including a height of a top board of the bed device with respect to a reference position, the bed device being configured to support the top board on which the examination subject is mounted such that the top board can move in a height direction;
• and
• controlling the bed device to move the top board to the height included in the output bed position information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to:

• acquire physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion;
• control a display to display a plurality of methods for deriving a recommended position information of a bed device, the plurality of methods using different reference examination subject information;
• determine a method for deriving as selected by an operator among the displayed plurality of methods for deriving;
• derive and output bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the acquired information about the imaging target portion, using the determined method for deriving, the bed position information including a height of a top board of the bed device with respect to a reference position, the bed device being configured to support the top board on which the examination subject is mounted such that the top board can move in a height direction;
• and
• control the bed device to move the top board to the height included in the output bed position information.
