MEDICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND MEDICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

1 . A medical information processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

acquire a medical image;

narrow down a plurality of anatomical landmarks each indicating an anatomical position in the medical image to one or more anatomical landmarks to be displayed; and

cause a display to display the medical image on which the one or more narrowed-down anatomical landmarks are superimposed.

2 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to perform the narrowing down based on narrow-down information that has been input.

3 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the narrow-down information contains a role of a user, and

the processing circuitry is configured to perform the narrowing down in such a manner that at least one or more predetermined anatomical landmarks are displayed if the narrow-down information contains the role of the user and the role of the user is a doctor-in-training.

4 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a first memory configured to store the narrow-down information by an identifier of the user, wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to perform the narrowing down in such a manner that, if the identifier is input, the narrow-down information is read from the first memory based on the identifier, and one or more anatomical landmarks corresponding to the read narrow-down information are displayed.

5 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second memory configured to store, by an identifier of the user, a diagnosis and treatment department relating to image reading by the user, wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to perform the narrowing down in such a manner that one or more anatomical landmarks corresponding to the diagnosis and treatment department in the second memory are displayed based on the input identifier.

6 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to:

perform, in response to inputting of an enlargement instruction, the narrowing down in such a manner that the anatomical landmarks to be displayed are increased in number; and

cause the display to perform enlarge the medical image based on the enlargement instruction.

7 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to perform, if a cursor or at least one measurement point is displayed on the medical image, the narrowing down in such a manner that one or more anatomical landmarks located within a predetermined range from the displayed cursor or measurement point are displayed.

8 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to perform, if a lesion is detected in the medical image, the narrowing down in such a manner that one or more anatomical landmarks located within a predetermined range from a position of the lesion are displayed.

9 . The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry is configured to perform, if a difference is detected between the medical image and a past medical image corresponding to the medical image, the narrowing down in such a manner that one or more anatomical landmarks located within a predetermined range from a position of the difference are displayed.

10 . A medical information processing method comprising:

acquiring a medical image;

narrowing down a plurality of anatomical landmarks each indicating an anatomical position in the medical image to one or more anatomical landmarks to be displayed; and

causing a display to display the medical image on which the one or more narrowed-down anatomical landmarks are superimposed.
