Abstract
Provided is a diagnostic assistance system whereby it is possible to allocate to highly skilled pathologists boundary region tissue specimens whereupon a malign/benign determination is difficult. The diagnostic assistance system includes: an input element for receiving an input of a degree of malignancy of a tissue specimen; a storage element for associating and storing a diagnostician with the degree of skill thereof; and a control element for, when the degree of malignancy is an intermediate value, querying the storage element and determining the diagnostician with the degree of degree of skill which is greater than or equal to a reference value.
Claims12
A diagnostic assistance system, comprising:
- an input means which inputs a degree of malignancy of a tissue specimen;
- a storage means which stores a diagnostician and a skill level thereof which are associated each other;
- and
- a control means which, in the case that the degree of malignancy is an intermediate degree, determines the diagnostician, whose skill level is equal to or higher than a reference level, with reference to the storage means.
A diagnostic assistance method, comprising:
- inputting a degree of malignancy of a tissue specimen;
- storing a diagnostician and a skill level thereof which are associated each other;
- and
- determining the diagnostician, whose skill level is equal to or higher than a reference level, in the case that the degree of malignancy is an intermediate degree.
A computer-readable recording medium which records a diagnostic assistance program causing a computer to execute:
- an input step of inputting a degree of malignancy of a tissue specimen;
- a storage step of storing a diagnostician and a skill level thereof which are associated each other;
- and
- a control step of determining the diagnostician, whose skill level is equal to or higher than a reference level, with reference to the skill level stored in the storage step, in the case that the degree of malignancy is an intermediate degree.
