Non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing image analysis program and image analysis method

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an image analysis program to be executed in a device that includes a display unit, an operation unit and a storage unit, for analyzing images for pathological diagnosis by using a first parameter for determining a criterion for cell nucleus determination for each diagnosis purpose and a second parameter for determining a criterion for cell nucleus determination for each diagnostician, both recorded in the storage unit, the program comprising instructions which, when the program is executed, cause the device to carry out:

• a step of first analyzing a pathological diagnosis image, including acquiring a pathological diagnosis image prepared by shooting a tissue specimen, and extracting a plurality of possibles for a cell nucleus area from the pathological diagnosis image, by using the first parameter;
• a step of second analyzing a pathological diagnosis image, including further extracting one or more cell nucleus areas from the plurality of possibles for a cell nucleus area, by using the second parameter;
• and
• a step of first carrying out display control, including causing the display unit to display the pathological diagnosis image with the one or more cell nucleus areas made recognizable.
