Abstract
The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing, and an object thereof is to provide an information processing device capable of appropriately determining a necessity of the ultrasonography even when a high-density mammary gland area exists in a narrow area. The present invention provides an information processing device comprising: a mammary gland area extractor configured to extract a mammary gland area in a mammography image; a mammary gland pixel detector configured to detect a mammary gland pixel in the mammary gland area; and a mammary gland density calculator configured to calculate a mammary gland density based on a ratio of the mammary gland pixels to the mammary gland area, wherein the mammary gland area is a narrower area than an entire breast in the mammography image.
