Abstract
An image processing system comprising includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of projection images obtained by tomosynthesis imaging in which radiation is emitted from a radiation source to a breast at different irradiation angles and a projection image is captured at each irradiation angle by a radiation detector; a tomographic image generation unit that generates a plurality of tomographic images in each of a plurality of tomographic planes of the breast, from the plurality of projection images; a composite two-dimensional image generation unit that generates a composite two-dimensional image from a plurality of images selected from among the plurality of projection images and the plurality of tomographic images; an information generation unit that generates correspondence relationship information representing a correspondence relationship between a position in the composite two-dimensional image and a depth of a tomographic plane corresponding to the position; a display controller that performs control of causing a display device to display the composite two-dimensional image; an acceptance unit that accepts region information representing a designated region designated with respect to the composite two-dimensional image displayed on the display device; and a designated tomographic image generation unit that generates, as a designated tomographic image, a tomographic image in a tomographic plane at a depth which corresponds to the designated region in the composite two-dimensional image and is specified on the basis of the correspondence relationship information, in a case where the acceptance unit accepts the region information, wherein in a case where the designated tomographic image is generated, the display controller further performs control of causing the display device to display the generated designated tomographic image.
