Abstract
An annotation support apparatus manages a medical image on the basis of an attribute of each medical image, using a hierarchical structure that has one medical image as a node and includes a medical image hierarchy to which a node of the medical image belongs and at least one of an upper hierarchy higher than the medical image hierarchy or a lower hierarchy lower than the medical image hierarchy. The annotation support apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires the medical image; a display unit; an annotation input receiving unit that receives designation of any one of the node of the medical image or a node associated with the node of the medical image in the hierarchical structure and an input of annotation information related to the designated node; and an annotation storage unit that stores the annotation information to be associated with the designated node.
