Abstract
The present invention is to provide an apparatus presenting information serving as a reason for inference as information on findings so as to be easily recognized by a doctor. A medical diagnosis support apparatus infers a diagnostic name derived from a medical image based on image feature values indicating features of a region included in the medical image, acquires information on findings representing the features of the region included in the medical image based on the image feature values, and presents the information on the findings as a reason for the inference.
Claims19
A medical diagnosis support apparatus comprising:
- an inference unit configured to infer a diagnostic name derived from a medical image based on image feature values indicating features of a region included in the medical image;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on findings representing the features of the region included in the medical image based on the image feature values;
- and
- a presentation control unit configured to present the information on the findings acquired by the acquisition unit as a reason for the inference performed by the inference unit.
An information processing method of diagnosis support, the method comprising:
- inferring a diagnostic name derived from a medical image based on image feature values indicating features of a region included in the medical image;
- acquiring information on findings representing the features of the region included in the medical image based on the image feature values;
- and
- presenting the acquired information on the findings as a reason for the inference.
An information processing method of diagnosis support, the method comprising:
- inferring a diagnostic name derived from a medical image using image feature values indicating features of a region included in the medical image as an input;
- acquiring information on findings representing the features of the region included in the medical image based on the image feature values input for the inference;
- and
- presenting the acquired information on the findings as a reason for the inference.
