Claim 4:
5. An information processing method comprising the steps of:
acquiring, by a first acquisition mechanism, a medical image obtained by imaging a subject;
acquiring, by a second acquisition mechanism, an inspection result of the medical image;
performing, by an inference mechanism, inference on the medical image; and
controlling, by a control mechanism, outputting of an inference result of the medical image by the inference mechanism to an external device based on an inspection result of the medical image acquired by the second acquisition mechanism,
wherein acquiring the inspection result of the medical image and performing the inference on the medical image are performed in parallel, and
wherein an inspection of the medical image is performed on a part corresponding to an imaged part of the subject specified from an imaging order, and in the case where the inference on the medical image is completed earlier than the acquisition of the inspection result of the medical image on the part corresponding to the imaged part of the subject, the inference result of the medical image is not output to the external device until the inspection result of the medical image on the part corresponding to the imaged part of the subject is acceptable.
