Abstract
A first extraction unit that extracts a region of a pulmonary nodule drawn in an image, a second extraction unit that extracts a region of a structure drawn in the image, a setting unit that sets a decision boundary to be at a position away from the pulmonary nodule region by a distance determined on a basis of a size of the pulmonary nodule region, a decision unit that decides whether or not the structure region extracted by the second extraction unit contacts with both a region related to the pulmonary nodule region and the decision boundary, and an acquisition unit that acquires, as a region of a desired structure, the structure region decided by the decision unit to contact with both the pulmonary nodule region and the decision boundary in the structure region extracted by the second extraction unit are included.
