Abstract:
The most appropriate image for a diagnostic target among a plurality of images is selected and accurate diagnosis support information is presented regardless of the type of a selected image, a modality, or the like. An image diagnosis support apparatus includes: a diagnostic information generation unit that generates diagnostic information based on a plurality of medical images; a reliability calculation unit that evaluates an image quality and calculates an image reliability for each of the plurality of medical images; and a degree-of-contribution calculation unit that calculates a degree of contribution of each of the plurality of medical images to the diagnostic information using an internal parameter indicating a degree of appropriateness of each medical image for a diagnostic target and the reliability calculated by the reliability calculation unit. An image for detection used by the diagnostic information generation unit is generated based on the degree of contribution.
