The entire disclosure of Japanese patent Application No. 2017-158124, filed on Aug. 18, 2017, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to an image processor, an image processing method, and an image processing program.
Computer-aided diagnosis (hereinafter also referred to as “CAD”), which supports diagnosis of a medical doctor or the like by causing a computer to perform image analysis on a medical image obtained by imaging a diagnostic target region of a subject and presenting an abnormal area in the medical image, is known.
The advantages and features provided by one or more embodiments of the invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the appended drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not intended as a definition of the limits of the present invention:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the overall configuration of an image processor according to an embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the image processor according to an embodiment;
Hereinafter, one or more preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Note that, in the present specification and the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to constituent members having substantially the same functional configurations and redundant explanation will be omitted.
[Overall Configuration of Image Processor]
First, the outline of the configuration of an image processor 100 according to an embodiment will be described.
