Medical image processing device, operation method to derive indirect findings in medical image showing at least shapes and properties of tissue of a lesion, and operation program of medical image processing device

Abstract

Provided are a medical image processing device, an operation method of the medical image processing device, and an operation program of the medical image processing device, which can contribute to find the lesion that is hardly depicted, by using a method based on the thought of the doctor. A CPU includes an image acquisition unit, a first derivation unit, and a second derivation unit. The image acquisition unit acquires a medical image. The first derivation unit analyzes the medical image to derive indirect finding information related to an indirect finding that represents at least one feature of a shape or a property of peripheral tissue of the lesion associated with an occurrence of the lesion. The second derivation unit derives lesion presence probability information indicating a presence probability of the lesion based on the indirect finding information.
