Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a hardware processor configured to cause a display part to simultaneously display first display information indicating a first lesion candidate region obtained by computer processing on medical information and second display information indicating a second lesion candidate region specified by a user on the basis of the medical information, wherein, in a case where the first display information and the second display information are displayed at the same time, the hardware processor distinguishably displays the first display information and the second display information.

2 . A display apparatus according to claim 1 , comprising:

a hardware processor configured to,

acquire first information indicating a first lesion candidate region obtained by computer processing on medical information,

acquire second information indicating a second lesion candidate region specified by a first user based on the medical information,

cause a display part to simultaneously display first display information based on the first information and second display information based on the second information, and

acquire an image interpretation finding created by a second user based on the medical information,

wherein, in a case where the first display information and the second display information are displayed at the same time, the hardware processor distinguishably displays the first display information and the second display information, and

wherein the hardware processor acquires the image interpretation finding based on a confirmation result of the first display information and the second display information by the second user.

3 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor displays the first display candidate information in a selectable manner and displays second display candidate information corresponding to the second display information identical to the first display information as display candidate information that cannot be selected.

4 . The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein when the hardware processor causes the second display candidate information to be displayed as non-selectable display candidate information, the hardware processor notifies the user of a reason why the second display candidate information is non-selectable.

5 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hardware processor displays the first display candidate information in a selectable manner, and displays second display candidate information corresponding to the second display information identical to the first display information as selectable display candidate information, and

wherein in a case where the second display candidate information is selected, a reason for not displaying the second display information is notified to the user.

6 . The display apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the hardware processor obtains permission information that permits the second display information to be changed, and

wherein in a case where the permission information is acquired, the first display information and the second display information are caused to be displayed in a distinguishable manner by changing the second display information.

7 . The display apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising a storage section configured to store, when the second display information is changed, the second display information before the change corresponding to the changed second display information.

8 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor causes the first display information and the second display information to be distinguishably displayed by differentiating at least one selected from the group consisting of a shape, a line type, a thickness, a color, brightness, transparency, and a symbol between the first display information and the second display information.

9 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor adds identification information of at least one of a character and a symbol to the second display information to display the first display information and the second display information in a distinguishable manner.

10 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first display information is first annotation information, and the second display information is second annotation information.

11 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage section in which the second display information that can be distinguished from the first display information indicating the first lesion candidate region is stored.

12 . A medical information display system comprising:

a display apparatus comprising:

a hardware processor configured to cause a display part to simultaneously display first display information indicating a first lesion candidate region obtained by computer processing on medical information and second display information indicating a second lesion candidate region specified by a user on the basis of the medical information,

wherein, in a case where the first display information and the second display information are displayed at the same time, the hardware processor distinguishably displays the first display information and the second display information,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to perform control to selectively display first display candidate information for adding the second display information,

wherein the display apparatus further includes an operation part with which the user selects the first display candidate information, and

wherein the first display candidate information is information corresponding to the second display information that is distinguishable from the first display information.

13 . A medical information display system according to claim 12 , comprising:

a hardware processor configured to,

acquire first information indicating a first lesion candidate region obtained by computer processing on medical information,

acquire second information indicating a second lesion candidate region specified by a first user based on the medical information,

cause a display part to simultaneously display first display information based on the first information and second display information based on the second information, and

acquire an image interpretation finding created by a second user based on the medical information,

wherein, in a case where the first display information and the second display information are displayed at the same time, the hardware processor distinguishably displays the first display information and the second display information and acquires the image interpretation finding based on a confirmation result of the first display information and the second display information by the second user.

14 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-readable program causing a computer of a display apparatus to perform, causing a display part to simultaneously display first display information indicating a first lesion candidate region obtained by computer processing on medical information and second display information indicating a second lesion candidate region specified by a user on the basis of the medical information,

wherein, in a case where the first display information and the second display information are displayed at the same time, the first display information and the second display information are distinguishably displayed,

wherein the computer is configured to perform control to selectively display first display candidate information for adding the second display information,

wherein the display apparatus further includes an operation part with which the user selects the first display candidate information, and
