Abstract
A diagnosis support device, which is suitable for comparing different diseases, is provided, along with others. In the diagnosis support device, the input of an MRI brain image of a subject is received, and a shrinkage score, which represents the degree of shrinkage of the brain, is calculated based on the MRI brain image. Subsequently, sites to be compared in the brain are identified. Then, a degree of shrinkage, which represents the degree of shrinkage of each of the identified sites, and a shrinkage ratio, which is the ratio between the degrees of shrinkage of the sites, are calculated, and then compared and displayed.
