Claim 0:
1. A medical imaging system, comprising:
a processor, configured to:
acquire a first medical image obtained by capturing an image of a breast as an object using a first imaging apparatus in a state in which the breast is fixed by compression;
perform control to capture a second medical image of the breast as the object using a second imaging apparatus having a different imaging principle from the first imaging apparatus while the fixation of the breast is maintained, after the first medical image is captured, wherein the second medical image is a group of a plurality of images of an entire region of the breast;
analyze the first medical image to detect a region of interest therefrom for an analysis period, wherein an imaging period for which the second medical image is captured and the analysis period for which the first image is analyzed to detect the region of interest are partially overlap each other; and
output positional information indicating a position of the region of interest so as to capture a region-of-interest image having the region of interest as a main object is captured by the same imaging principle as that of the first imaging apparatus under different imaging conditions from the first medical image or is captured by the same imaging principle as that of the second imaging apparatus under different imaging conditions from the second medical image, after the second medical image is captured by the second imaging apparatus.
