DISPOSITIF DE RECHERCHE DE CAS MÉDICAUX SIMILAIRES, PROCÉDÉ DE RECHERCHE DE CAS MÉDICAUX SIMILAIRES, ET PROGRAMME DE RECHERCHE DE CAS MÉDICAUX SIMILAIRES
Provided are a similar medical case search device, a similar medical case search method, and a similar medical case search program, with which the feature amounts of multiple regions of interest are taken into account in an integrated manner. A similar medical case search server (17) is equipped with a feature amount calculation unit (62), an individual similarity calculation unit (65), and a similar medical case search unit (67). The feature amount calculation unit (62) obtains a feature amount for each of multiple regions of interest (ROI). Each region of interest (ROI) contains one or more different object lesions (OL) and is specified in inspection data (21) containing one or more inspection images (19), and is specified so as to contain an object lesion (OL), which is a lesion existing in an inspection image (19). The individual similarity calculation unit (65) calculates an individual degree of similarity for each region of interest (ROI) by comparing the feature amount for each region of interest (ROI) and the feature amount for a medical case lesion (CL), which is a lesion in a medical case image (22) and registered in a medical case. The similar medical case search unit (67) calculates an integrated degree of similarity on the basis of multiple calculated individual degrees of similarity, and searches for similar medical cases on the basis of the integrated degree of similarity that has been calculated.L'invention concerne un dispositif de recherche de cas médicaux similaires, un procédé de recherche de cas médicaux similaires, et un programme de recherche de cas médicaux similaires, qui permet de prendre en compte de manière intégrée les quantités caractéristiques de multiples régions d'intérêt.
