Medical image processing apparatus, medical image processing method, machine learning system, and program

Abstract

There are provided a medical image processing apparatus, a medical image processing method, a machine learning system, and a program that can reduce the volume of communication and can reduce the processing load of retraining or additional training that is performed by a machine learning apparatus. A medical image processing apparatus () includes: a trainer () that performs additional training for a first computer-aided diagnosis device on the basis of an input medical image; an evaluation unit that compares a second computer-aided diagnosis device obtained by the additional training with the first computer-aided diagnosis device and evaluates whether learning difference information about the additional training contributes to improvement of performance of the first computer-aided diagnosis device; a communication determination unit that determines, on the basis of a result of evaluation, whether the learning difference information is to be communicated; and a communication unit () that outputs the learning difference information in accordance with a result of determination by the communication determination unit.
