• a receiving unit that receives a request for transmitting an examination order from an order request device that is a modality or a terminal device;
• an order retrieval unit that extracts an examination order to be transmitted from the plurality of examination orders recorded in the order recording unit;
• and
• an order transmission unit that transmits the extracted examination order to the order request device, wherein
• when the number of modalities that have acquired an examination order reaches the maximum number of modalities that can acquire the examination order, the order retrieval unit does not extract the examination order as an examination order to be transmitted to the order request device;
