Abstract
A medical image processing apparatus includes: an abnormal shadow candidate detection section for performing an image analysis of a medical image and for carrying out a detection of a candidate region for an abnormal shadow from the medical image; and a judgment section for setting only a candidate region detected in the medical image more than once as a final result of detecting an abnormal shadow candidate when the detection is carried out by the abnormal shadow candidate detection section more than once.
Claims12
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- an abnormal shadow candidate detection section for performing an image analysis of a medical image and for carrying out a detection of a candidate region for an abnormal shadow from the medical image;
- and
- a judgment section for setting only a candidate region detected in the medical image more than once as a final result of detecting an abnormal shadow candidate when the detection is carried out by the abnormal shadow candidate detection section more than once.
A medical image processing apparatus comprising:
- an abnormal shadow candidate detection section for performing an image analysis of a medical image and for carrying out a detection of a candidate region for an abnormal shadow from the medical image;
- and
- an operation section for selecting any one of a first detection result in which only a candidate region detected in the medical image more than once is finally set as an abnormal shadow candidate and a second detection result in which a candidate region detected at least once is finally set as an abnormal shadow candidate, when the detection is carried out by the abnormal shadow candidate detection section more than once.
A program allowing the computer to realize:
- a function for performing an image analysis of a medical image and for carrying out a detection of a candidate region for an abnormal shadow from the medical image by an abnormal shadow candidate detection section;
- and
- a function for judging only a candidate region detected in the medical image more than once as a final result of detecting an abnormal shadow candidate when the detection is carried out by the abnormal shadow candidate detection section more than once.
