Control method of information terminal and computer-readable recording medium

A control method of an information terminal which includes a display and is connected to a case retrieval system, the case retrieval system referring to a medical image database, in which medical images are registered, to retrieve a medical image,

• the display displaying an object medical image which is a medical image of a diagnostic interpretation object selected from diagnostic interpretation object candidates, disease name information not being set in additional information of the object medical image,
• the control method causing a computer of the information terminal to:
• sense first specification information indicating a region of interest in the object medical image;
• receive NC number (where NC is an integer not less than 2) of similar medical images each having a prescribed degree of similarity with a feature quantity of the region of interest indicated by the first specification information from the case retrieval system in accordance with the region of interest, disease name information being set in additional information of the NC number of similar medical images, each of the received NC number of similar medical images including a corresponding region of interest that corresponds to the region of interest and including second specification information indicating the corresponding region of interest in each of the similar medical images;
• display on the display a display screen which includes a first display region and a second display region, the first display region displaying the object medical image, the second display region displaying M number (where M is an integer not less than 1 and not more than NC) of similar medical images among the NC number of similar medical images, the second display region including ND number (where ND is an integer not less than M and not more than NC) of individual regions for displaying the M number of similar medical images, the display screen including one or more instruction buttons, which are common to the M number of similar medical images, for changing a display size of the M number of similar medical images, the one or more instruction buttons including a first instruction button, the first instruction button being for causing each corresponding region of interest included in the M number of similar medical images to be magnified and displayed at a predetermined magnification ratio, the magnification ratio being predetermined to bring a size of each magnified corresponding region of interest to be smaller than a size of each of the individual regions, the magnification ratio being different for each similar medical image;
• and
