Output device and method, suitable for use in diagnosis

摘要

An output device that outputs a schematic view showing a position of a diseased part of a human body, comprises: a read-out unit adapted to read out a plurality of schematic views output from a storage unit adapted to store the schematic views, and a control unit adapted to output the plurality of schematic views read out by the read-out unit to an output unit, wherein the read-out unit selects a schematic view to be read out based on an output format that has been set by a user.

1. An output device that outputs a schematic view showing a position of a diseased part of a human body, comprising:
a memory adapted to store a plurality of schematic views and a plurality of medical images, wherein at least one of the schematic views includes a layer superimposed thereon; an acquisition unit adapted to acquire an evaluation value for each layer at a plurality of timings; a detection unit adapted to detect a change in the acquired evaluation value for a layer that is greater than a predetermined threshold value; a read-out unit adapted to read out the schematic view in a case in which the change is greater than the predetermined threshold value; and a display unit adapted to display the schematic view read out by said read-out unit by superimposing layers, wherein said display unit displays, from the plurality of medical images stored in said memory, a medical image which corresponds to the schematic view read out by said read- out unit, and wherein said acquisition unit, said detection unit, said read-out unit, and said display unit are implemented using a CPU.
