Abstract
A mammography apparatus includes a diagnostic image acquisition unit that acquires a diagnostic image in which a calcification as a biopsy target is marked; a scout image acquisition unit that acquires a scout image obtained by imaging a mamma undergoing the biopsy from a specific direction; and a display unit that highlights a calcification (candidate for biological tissue examination) in the scout image which matches at least the marked calcification in the diagnostic image.
Claims23
A mammography apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- acquire a diagnostic image which is a mammography image used for diagnosis and in which a target of a biological tissue examination is marked;
- acquire a scout image obtained by imaging a mamma undergoing the biological tissue examination from a specific direction;
- and
- highlight on a display a candidate for the biological tissue examination in the scout image which matches at least the marked target in the diagnostic image.
A non-transitory device-readable medium for storing a device-executable program driving a mammography apparatus that highlights a candidate for a biological tissue examination in a biopsy image captured in the biological tissue examination, the device-executable program causing an arithmetic operation device of the mammography apparatus or an arithmetic operation device cooperating with the mammography apparatus to execute:
- calculating a tissue similarity degree used for determining the candidate to be highlighted on a display, by using a learned model that outputs a position of the candidate in the biopsy image and the tissue similarity degree which is a similarity degree between the candidate in the biopsy image and a marked target in the diagnostic image by inputting the biopsy image and the diagnostic image in which the target of the biological tissue examination is marked.
