Abstract
A similar case retrieval apparatus includes: a lesion portion acquirer that acquires partial images including lesion portion images, an image feature extractor that extracts image features of each of the plurality of partial images; a location information acquirer that acquires location information of each of the partial images; a lateral position determiner that determines the right organ or the left organ in which each of the lesion portions exists based on the location information; a unilateral distribution identifier that determines whether or not a distribution of the lesion portions is a unilateral distribution; and a similar case retriever that retrieves case data from a case database including both case data for the unilateral distribution in the right organ and case data for the unilateral distribution in the left organ when the unilateral distribution identifier identifies that the distribution of the lesion portions is the unilateral distribution.
