Abstract:
A similar case retrieval apparatus includes: a lesion portion acquirer that acquires partial images including lesion portion images, an image feature extractor that extracts image features of each of the plurality of partial images; a location information acquirer that acquires location information of each of the partial images; a lateral position determiner that determines the right organ or the left organ in which each of the lesion portions exists based on the location information; a unilateral distribution identifier that determines whether or not a distribution of the lesion portions is a unilateral distribution; and a similar case retriever that retrieves case data from a case database including both case data for the unilateral distribution in the right organ and case data for the unilateral distribution in the left organ when the unilateral distribution identifier identifies that the distribution of the lesion portions is the unilateral distribution.

Claim (Index 3):
An apparatus comprising:\n a receiver that receives a first image showing lesion portions distributed unilaterally in a right organ; and an output device that outputs a second image selected from case data including third images, each of the third images showing lesion portions distributed unilaterally in a left organ, wherein the case data does not include fourth images, each of the fourth images showing lesion portions distributed unilaterally in a right organ, and a first partial image included in the first image and a second partial image included in the second image have a predetermined similarity.
