Abstract
An image analyzer detects a lesion for each frame (tomographic image). When the lesion is detected, lesion information (detection flag, position information, and size information) is produced. An indication controller causes a mark surrounding the lesion to be displayed when it is judged that a mark display condition is satisfied, based on the lesion information or the like. The indication controller causes the mark to be deleted from a screen when detection of the lesion is continued and a mark display restriction condition is satisfied.
