Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit, an inference section, and a selection unit. The obtaining unit is configured to obtain a temporal subtraction image between a first medical image captured at a first point of time and a second medical image captured at a second point of time. The inference section includes a plurality of inference units, each for making an inference from the temporal subtraction image. The selection unit is configured to select, based on a region of interest in the obtained temporal subtraction image, at least one inference unit from the plurality of inference units in the inference section. In response to being selected by the selection unit, the at least one inference unit so selected makes the inference from the temporal subtraction image.
