Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and non-transitory storage medium

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory storing instructions, and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire medical image data;

receive an instruction for specifying a target lesion in the medical image data;

acquire (i) related lesion information about a related lesion, the related lesion being related with the target lesion specified by the instruction and of a different type from the target lesion, and (ii) operating state information including information as to whether detection processing for the related lesion has been implemented; and

cause a display to display the related lesion information and the operating state information so that the operating state information corresponds to the related lesion information visually.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the operating state information further includes information about feasibility of the detection processing for the related lesion.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to, in a case where the detection processing is feasible, receive an instruction for implementing the detection processing.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, in a case where the detection processing is infeasible, the at least one processor is configured to cause the display to display information about a reason why the detection processing is infeasible.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the information about the reason why the detection processing is infeasible includes information indicating that a detector for performing detection processing for a related lesion is not installed.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive an instruction for installing the detector not installed.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the information about the reason why the detection processing is infeasible includes information indicating that the medical image data is out of an implementation condition for the detection processing.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein, in a case where the medical image data is out of the implementation condition for the detection processing, the at least one processor is configured to receive an instruction for acquiring medical image data that satisfies the implementation condition.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire the related lesion information by referring to a table that associates types of lesions.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the table is generated based on at least one of relations between a primary focus and metastatic focuses, relations between complications, and relations that define types of lesions related to an evaluation of a severity risk.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to

acquire a result of the detection processing, and

cause the display to display the result of the detection processing.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the display to display identifiably the medical image data, a detection result of the detection processing, and the related lesion information and the operating state information.

13 . An information processing method comprising:

acquiring medical image data;

receiving an instruction for specifying a target lesion in the medical image data;

acquiring (i) related lesion information about a related lesion, the related lesion being related with the target lesion specified by the instruction and of a different type from the target lesion, and (ii) operating state information including information as to whether detection processing for the related lesion has been implemented; and

causing a display to display the related lesion information and the operating state information so that the operating state information corresponds to the related lesion information visually.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that when executed on a computer causes the computer to execute the information processing method according to claim 13 .
