11 . The information management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to derive the correspondence information in which the finding and a generation method for medical information that includes the finding are further associated with each other.
12 . The information management apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor analyzes the finding remark in the medical document by using a natural language processing method to acquire the at least one finding about the at least one region of interest included in the medical image.
13 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
at least one processor,
the processor being configured to
acquire a target medical image that is a generation target of medical information,
identify a target region of interest included in the target medical image, identify a finding corresponding to medical image information that is about the target region of interest retrieved from a database in which a plurality of pieces of correspondence information in each of which a finding and medical image information about a region of interest among various regions of interest included in a medical image among various medical images are associated with each other are registered,
display the target medical image on a display,
in response to the target region of the interest in the target medical image selected by a user, displaying a finding remark corresponding to the finding corresponding to the medical image information on the display along with the target medical image, and
generate a medical document comprising the finding remark and associate the medical document with the target medical image,
wherein when the target region of interest includes an abnormal area, the processor derives correspondence information in which the finding and the medical image information are associated with each other on a per-type-of-abnormal-area basis.
14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the database is created by registering correspondence information derived by the information management apparatus according to claim 1 .
15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to identify the finding that is related to a change from a healthy state of the target region of interest, with reference to the correspondence information.
16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to further generate medical information that includes the identified finding.
17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the correspondence information is information in which the finding and a generation method for medical information that includes the finding are associated with each other, and
the processor is configured to identify a generation method for the medical information about the target region of interest with reference to the database, and
derive the medical information that includes the identified finding on the basis of the identified generation method.
18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores an information management program causing a computer to perform:
a procedure of acquiring a medical image and a medical document associated with the medical image,
a procedure of analyzing a finding remark in the medical document to acquire at least one finding about at least one region of interest included in the medical image,
a procedure of deriving correspondence information in which the at least one finding and medical image information about the region of interest are associated with each other, a procedure of registering the correspondence information in a database,
