Claim 5:
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an operation program of an image interpretation support apparatus which causes a computer to function as:
an acquisition unit that acquires a two-dimensional standard image having information on a breast, and a plurality of tomographic images in a plurality of tomographic planes of the breast which are obtained by tomosynthesis imaging of the breast;
an acceptance unit that accepts a selection instruction of a location on the two-dimensional standard image; and
a specifying unit that, in a case where the selection instruction is accepted in the acceptance unit, specifies a corresponding tomographic plane corresponding to a selected location which is the location of which the selection instruction is accepted in the acceptance unit, from among the plurality of tomographic planes on the basis of the plurality of tomographic images;
wherein the specifying unit specifies the tomographic plane corresponding to a region composed of a pixel of the selected location and a plurality of pixels around the pixel of the selected location, as the corresponding tomographic plane corresponding to the selected location;
wherein the specifying unit obtains a representative value of pixel values of a region of the tomographic image having a positional relationship corresponding to the region, and specifies the corresponding tomographic plane on the basis of the representative value; and
wherein in a case where the pixel values of the pixels of the region of the tomographic image are sorted in an ascending order, the representative value is an average value of the pixel values of the pixels from a preset higher rank to a preset lower rank, or in a case where the pixel values of the pixels of the region of the tomographic image are sorted in a descending order, the representative value is an average value of the pixel values of the pixels from a preset higher rank to a preset lower rank.
