An information processing system includes an automatic processing server that includes a CPU-20 and a storage unit storing instructions executable by the CPU-20, and a workstation that includes a CPU-30 and a storage unit storing instructions executable by the CPU-30. The CPU-20 carries out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process. The CPU-30 specifies a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among a plurality of processes performable by a plurality of applications, and performs the second process for the medical image subjected to the first process. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing system comprising: at least one processor; and a memory configured to store an instruction and optimization information of a plurality of processes, executable by the processor, the processor being configured to carry out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process, specify, referring to the optimization information, a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among the plurality of processes, and perform the optimized second process for the medical image subjected to the first process, wherein the optimization information includes information indicating a correspondence between the processing result of the first process and at least one of the plurality of processes that are performed depending on the processing results of the first process, a retention period of the processing results of the plurality of processes or priority ranks of performing the plurality of processes. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to specify a retention period of a processing result of the second process, the retention period depending on the processing result of the first process, and retain the processing result of the second process for the specified retention period. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to specify, in a case where the second process includes two or more processes, priority ranks of the two or more processes depending on the processing result of the first process, and perform the two or more processes included in the second process on the basis of the specified priority ranks. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to specify a process that is not to be performed as the second process from among the plurality of processes. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the first process includes a process of detecting presence or absence of a matter of concern from the medical image, and the processor is configured to not specify the second process in a case where the processing result of the first process includes a detection result indicating that the matter of concern is not present. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the medical image is a medical image conforming to a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standard, and the plurality of processes are processes determined in accordance with a tag of the DICOM. ### Claim 7 An information processing system comprising: a first processing apparatus comprising at least one processor; and a second processing apparatus comprising at least one processor and a storage that stores optimization information of a plurality of processes executable by the processor, the processor of the first processing apparatus being configured to carry out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process, the processor of the second processing apparatus being configured to specify, referring to the optimization information, a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among the plurality of processes, and perform the optimized second process for the medical image subjected to the first process, wherein the optimization information includes information indicating a correspondence between the processing result of the first process and at least one of the plurality of processes that are performed depending on the processing results of the first process, a retention period of the processing results of the plurality of processes or priority ranks of performing the plurality of processes. ### Claim 8 An information processing method in which a computer performs a process comprising: carrying out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process, specifying, referring to optimization information of a plurality of processes, a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among a plurality of processes, and performing the optimized second process for the medical image subjected to the first process, wherein the optimization information includes information indicating a correspondence between the processing result of the first process and at least one of the plurality of processes that are performed depending on the processing results of the first process, a retention period of the processing results of the plurality of processes or priority ranks of performing the plurality of processes. ### Claim 9 A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to perform a process comprising: carrying out an image analysis for a medical image as a first process, specifying, referring to the optimization information of a plurality of processes, a second process that depends on a processing result of the first process, from among a plurality of processes, and performing the optimized second process for the medical image subjected to the first process, wherein the optimization information includes information indicating a correspondence between the processing result of the first process and at least one of the plurality of processes that are performed depending on the processing results of the first process, a retention period of the processing results of the plurality of processes or priority ranks of performing the plurality of processes.
