Abstract

A specific region such as a continuous epithelial structure is automatically detected in a cell aggregate. A region detecting method includes an input step (S01) of inputting an image obtained by imaging a cell aggregate, an outline detecting step (S02) of detecting an outline of the cell aggregate together with an order along the outline from the input image, a region detecting step (S03) of detecting a specific region included in the cell aggregate based on the detected outline and order, and an output step (S04) of outputting information indicating the detected region.
