Abstract
A control device including: a breast thickness acquisition unit that acquires a thickness of a breast in a pressed state by a pressing member; a depth information acquisition unit that, in a case where an ultrasound image of the breast in the pressed state is captured, acquires depth information indicating a depth to which imaging by an ultrasonography apparatus which captures the ultrasound image is possible; a deriving unit that derives imaging information indicating whether or not capture of an ultrasound image having predetermined accuracy or higher is possible by the ultrasonography apparatus on the basis of the thickness of the breast acquired by the breast thickness acquisition unit and the depth information acquired by the depth information acquisition unit; and an output unit that outputs the imaging information derived by the deriving unit.
