Abstract
A CPU acquires a distance image which indicates a distance to an imaging target and is captured by a TOF camera using, as an imaging region, a region including at least a portion of a region in which an attachable and detachable member is attached to a mammography apparatus. Further, the CPU acquires reference distance information related to a reference value of a distance between the attachable and detachable member and the TOF camera in a state in which the attachable and detachable member is attached to the mammography apparatus. Furthermore, the CPU determines whether or not the attachable and detachable member is attached to the mammography apparatus on the basis of the distance image and the reference distance information.
