Abstract

A diagnosis assistance apparatus for assisting a diagnosis using schemas includes a storage section that stores a plurality of different schemas each configured by a figure representing a body region, an acquiring section that acquires results of a plurality of examinations that are performed on an examination target, a schema refining section that refines a schema of a body region related to a disease that is predicted from the acquired examination results, from the schemas step-by-step in accordance with progress of the examinations, and a displaying section that displays the schema refined by the schema refining section.

Claims (30)

1. A diagnosis assistance apparatus for assisting a diagnosis using schemas during a plurality of examinations which are continuously performed on an examination target, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of different schemas each configured by a figure representing a body region; and

a processor configured to execute instructions comprising:

acquiring results of the plurality of examinations;

refining a schema of a body region related to a disease that is predicted from the acquired examination results, from the schemas in a middle of the plurality of the examinations; and

controlling to display the schema refined by the schema refining section,

wherein the schema is an anatomic drawing formed by simulating a structure of a human body and simplifying the structure.

2. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the executed instructions further comprise presenting an examination by which further refining is enabled with respect to the refined schemas.

3. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the acquired examination results comprise at least one from among a blood oxygen saturation, a blood oxygen concentration, a blood carbon dioxide concentration, an amount of hemoglobin, and an intracardiac pressure.

4. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the executed instructions further comprise receiving selection of one schema from a plurality of schemas that are refined, before all examinations are ended.

5. A diagnosis assistance method which assists a diagnosis using a plurality of different schemas during a plurality of examinations which are continuously performed on an examination target, each configured by a figure representing a body region, the method comprising:

acquiring examination results of the plurality of examinations;

refining a schema of a body region related to a disease that is predicted from the acquired examination results, from the schemas in a middle of the plurality of the examinations; and

displaying the schema refined in refining step,

wherein the schema is an anatomic drawing formed by simulating a structure of a human body and simplifying the structure.

6. The diagnosis assistance method according to claim 5 , further comprising presenting an examination by which further refining is enabled with respect to schemas refined in the schema refining step.

7. The diagnosis assistance method according to claim 5 , wherein the examination results acquired in the acquiring step include at least one of a blood oxygen saturation, a blood oxygen concentration, a blood carbon dioxide concentration, an amount of hemoglobin, and an intracardiac pressure.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a diagnosis assistance program causing a computer system to perform a process for assisting a diagnosis using a plurality of different schemas during a plurality of examinations which are continuously performed on an examination target, each configured by a figure representing a body region, the process comprising:

acquiring examination results of the plurality of examinations;

refining a schema of a body region related to a disease that is predicted from the acquired examination results, from the schemas in a middle of the plurality of the examinations; and

displaying the schema refined in refining step,

wherein the schema is an anatomic drawing formed by simulating a structure of a human body and simplifying the structure.

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 8 , wherein the process further includes presenting an examination by which further refining is enabled with respect to schemas refined in the schema refining step.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 8 , wherein the examination results acquired in the acquiring step include at least one of a blood oxygen saturation, a blood oxygen concentration, a blood carbon dioxide concentration, an amount of hemoglobin, and an intracardiac pressure.

11. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the acquired examination results include at least one of a blood oxygen saturation, a blood oxygen concentration, a blood carbon dioxide concentration, an amount of hemoglobin, and an intracardiac pressure.

12. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the executed instructions further comprises receiving a selection of one schema from a plurality of schemas that are refined, before all examinations are ended.

13. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the executed instructions further comprises receiving a selection of one schema from a plurality of schemas that are refined, before all examinations are ended.

14. The diagnosis assistance apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the executed instructions further comprises receiving a selection of one schema from a plurality of schemas that are refined, before all examinations are ended.

15. The diagnosis assistance method according to claim 6 , wherein the examination results acquired in the acquiring step include at least one of a blood oxygen saturation, a blood oxygen concentration, a blood carbon dioxide concentration, an amount of hemoglobin, and an intracardiac pressure.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the examination results acquired in the acquiring step include at least one of a blood oxygen saturation, a blood oxygen concentration, a blood carbon dioxide concentration, an amount of hemoglobin, and an intracardiac pressure.
