COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

A computer-aided diagnostic apparatus characterized by comprising first affected area detecting means for detecting an affected area candidate from an image captured by a first modality, second affected area detecting means for detecting an affected area candidate from an image of the same region of interest of the same subject captured by a second modality different from the first modality, detection result combining means for comparing the results of the detections by the first and second affected area detecting means, and correspondence display means for displaying the affected area candidate detected by the first affected area detecting means superimposingly on the image analyzed by the second affected area detecting means together with the position related to the affected area and for displaying the affected area candidate detected by the second affected area detecting means superimposingly on the image analyzed by the first affected area detecting means together with the position related to the affected area. With this constitution, a computer-aided diagnostic apparatus for double-checking the images captured by a plurality of devices while comparing the images.
