Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program

An information processing method comprising:

• acquiring a first medical image of an examinee associated with a first reference position specified based on a physical feature of the examinee included in a first optical image obtained by optically imaging the examinee;
• acquiring a second medical image of the examinee associated with the first reference position or a second reference position indicating a position substantially the same as the first reference position;
• and
• outputting the first medical image and the second medical image by registering the first medical image with the second medical image based on the first reference position and the second reference position,
• wherein the first medical image is a mammography image obtained by a mammography apparatus,
• the first reference position is expressed by coordinate points indicating a plurality of joint points of the examinee included in the first optical image, and
• the second reference position is expressed by coordinate points indicating a plurality of joint points of the examinee included in a second optical image that is newly obtained.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

• acquiring a first medical image of an examinee associated with a first reference position specified based on a physical feature of the examinee included in a first optical image obtained by optically imaging the examinee;
• acquiring a second medical image of the examinee associated with the first reference position or a second reference position indicating a position substantially the same as the first reference position;
• and
• outputting the first medical image and the second medical image by registering the first medical image with the second medical image based on the first reference position and the second reference position,
• wherein the first medical image is a mammography image obtained by a mammography apparatus,
• the first reference position is expressed by coordinate points indicating a plurality of joint points of the examinee included in the first optical image, and
• the second reference position is expressed by coordinate points indicating a plurality of joint points of the examinee included in a second optical image that is newly obtained.
