Image diagnosis assistance apparatus, control method, and program

An image diagnosis assistance apparatus comprising:

• a display control unit configured to display a cross-sectional image on a display unit;
• a first obtaining unit configured to obtain sight-line information regarding a sight line of a user, the sight-line information including position information on a display screen of the display unit;
• a second obtaining unit configured to obtain a moving speed of the sight line of the user;
• and
• a determination unit configured to determine an observed area with respect to the cross-sectional image displayed by the display control unit based on the sight-line information obtained by the first obtaining unit and the moving speed obtained by the second obtaining unit.

A control method for controlling an image diagnosis assistance apparatus, the method comprising:

• displaying a plurality of cross-sectional images on a display unit by sequentially switching the plurality of cross-sectional images;
• obtaining sight-line information regarding a sight line of a user, the sight-line information including position information on a display screen of the display unit;
• obtaining a switching speed for switching the plurality of cross-sectional images;
• and
• determining an observed area with respect to the displayed plurality of cross-sectional images based on the obtained sight-line information and the obtained switching speed.
