Abstract
An image interpretation support apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of projection images obtained by tomosynthesis imaging in which a radiation is irradiated to a breast from different irradiation angles by a radiation source and a projection image is captured at each irradiation angle by a radiation detector; a first generation unit that generates a plurality of tomographic images on each of a plurality of tomographic planes of the breast from the plurality of projection images; a second generation unit that generates a synthetic two-dimensional image from a plurality of images among the plurality of projection images and the plurality of tomographic images; a detection unit that detects an object of interest candidate region estimated to include an object of interest from the synthetic two-dimensional image; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the object of interest is included in the object of interest candidate region on the basis of the plurality of tomographic images.
