To enable a user to easily recognize an inspection for which image reading needs to be performed preferentially.SOLUTION: According to a control unit 21 of a server device 2, an image reading priority setting screen 330 (336) for inputting the order of preference among a plurality of items in inspection information and a priority condition per item is displayed by an image display device 3, and the order of preference among a plurality of items in inspection information and the priority condition per item having been inputted from the screen are set to a user database 253. Then, the inspection information stored in an inspection information database 252 is sorted and the order of preference of image reading between inspections is determined on the basis of the order of preference among a plurality of items in inspection information and the priority condition per item that have been set, and information relating to an inspection for which image reading needs to be performed preferentially is displayed by display means in a user recognizable manner.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5【課題】優先的に読影を行うべき検査をユーザーが容易に認識できるようにする。【解決手段】サーバー装置２の制御部２１によれば、検査情報における複数の項目間の優先順位及び項目毎の優先条件を入力するための読影優先順位設定画面３３０（３３６）を画像表示装置３に表示させ、当該画面から入力された複数の項目間の優先順位及び項目毎の優先条件をユーザーＤＢ２５３に設定する。そして、設定された複数の項目間の優先順位及び項目毎の優先条件に基づいて、検査情報ＤＢ２５２に記憶されている検査情報をソートして検査間の読影優先順位を決定し、優先的に読影を行うべき検査に関する情報をユーザーが識別可能な態様で表示手段に表示させる。【選択図】図５
