Patent ID: 6925199

Claim:
A computer readable recording medium storing a diagnosis supporting program for controlling a computer, said program performing: detecting a lesion position from a diagnosis target image; extracting image-wise feature quantities of the lesion position detected by said detecting; retrieving reference images which are image-wise similar to the diagnosis target image out of a database stored with reference images and feature quantities of reference images, based on said extracting; and calculating image-wise similarities between each of the reference images stored in the database and the diagnosis target image, respectively, by matching the feature quantities of each of the reference images stored in the database with the feature quantities of the diagnosis target image, wherein the diagnosis target image and the reference images comprise at least one of CT images and MRI images, wherein said retrieving retrieves reference images in order of similarity as calculated by said calculating, wherein said calculating calculates similarities, taking into account a weighting set for each organ; and wherein the weighting set is set so as to correspond to the feature quantities of each of a plurality of organs and the corresponding reference images.
