Diagnostic imaging support in which image data of high magnification is generated to image data of low magnification for classification thereof

A diagnostic imaging support method comprising:

• acquiring image data of high magnification of sample tissue;
• generating image data of low magnification from the acquired image data of high magnification, extracting a region of interest from the generated image data of low magnification, calculating a feature value indicating a feature of the region of interest, and classifying the generated image data of low magnification into group by each image data pattern of a plurality of sample tissue according to the calculated feature value;
• and
• extracting a region of interest from the image data of high magnification based on the image data of high magnification which is a base of the image data of low magnification classified by the image classifying portion, and the region of interest of the image data of low magnification, calculating a feature value of the region of interest, and evaluating whether or not the image data of high magnification is pathological tissue of the classified group based on the calculated feature value.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

• a process that acquires image data of high magnification of sample tissue;
• a process that generates image data of low magnification from the acquired image data of high magnification, extracts a region of interest from the generated image data of low magnification, calculates a feature value indicating a feature of the region of interest, and classifies the generated image data of low magnification into a group by each image data pattern of a plurality of pathological tissue according to the calculated feature value;
• and
• a process that extracts a region of interested from the image data of high magnification based on the image data of high magnification which is a base of the classified image data of low magnification, and the region of interest of the image data of low magnification, calculates a feature value of the region of interest, and evaluates whether or not the image data of high magnification is pathological tissue of the classified group based on the calculated feature value.
