Abstract
A pattern matching unit performs pattern matching on present data obtained this time in clinical examination of a part of a subject and previous data obtained last time in the clinical examination of the part with reference patterns. Reference patterns that are most closely approximate to the present data and the previous data are selected. A distance calculator calculates a distance between selected reference patterns. A determining unit determines whether a re-examination is necessary based on the distance.

A device for confirming a validity of result of clinical examination of a part of a subject for a clinical examination, the device comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive present data that is clinical data of the part obtained this time and previous data that is clinical data of the part obtained last time;
- a storing unit configured to store a plurality of reference patterns, the reference patterns being classified into a plurality of levels;
- a selecting unit configured to select, from the reference patterns, a first reference pattern best matching with the present data and a second reference pattern best matching with the previous data;
- a calculating unit configured to calculate a value indicative of a distance between a position of the first reference pattern and a position of the second reference pattern;
- and
- a determining unit configured to determine a validity of the present data based on the value.
A method of confirming a validity of result of clinical examination of a part of a subject for a clinical examination, the method comprising:
- receiving present data that is clinical data of the part obtained this time and previous data that is clinical data of the part obtained last time;
- storing a plurality of reference patterns, the reference patterns being classified into a plurality of levels;
- selecting, from the reference patterns, a first reference pattern best matching with the present data and a second reference pattern best matching with the previous data;
- calculating a value indicative of a distance between a position of the first reference pattern and a position of the second reference pattern;
- and
- determining a validity of the present data based on the value.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for making a computer execute:
- receiving present data that is clinical data of the part obtained this time and previous data that is clinical data of the part obtained last time;
- storing a plurality of reference patterns, the reference patterns being classified into a plurality of levels;
- selecting, from the reference patterns, a first reference pattern best matching with the present data and a second reference pattern best matching with the previous data;
- calculating a value indicative of a distance between a position of the first reference pattern and a position of the second reference pattern;
- and
- determining a validity of the present data based on the value.
