PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the result of an image interpretation based on the professional knowledge regarding a disease and the performance and the characteristics of a scanner, by processing image data. SOLUTION: An image-obtaining device (110) is used to obtain an anatomical model and a medical image (240). Interested regions in the medical image is classified based on hierarchies (400) comprising signal models regarding the signal information of the image-obtaining device (110). The anatomical model is delivered in a manner to represent anatomical information indicating a specified disease. A processor (120) of a calculator-supporting system which is used for the diagnosis and the detection of the disease classifies a texture kind selected from among image data collections, based on the hierarchies comprising the signal models and the anatomical model, and discriminates an anatomical context for the classified texture kind which is used for the diagnosis and the detection of the disease.
