Abstract
A diagnostic assistance apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire a first ultrasound image generated by an ultrasound module, and switch between a first operating mode and a second operating mode according to whether or not reference information is combined with the first ultrasound image, according to whether or not the first ultrasound image is an image obtained in an auxiliary image mode, or according to a set value that stipulates the image quality of the first ultrasound image. The first operating mode is an operating mode that performs detection of a specific area on the basis of detection assistance information created using a second ultrasound image obtained in a main image mode. The second operating mode is an operating mode that performs detection of the specific area but does not output a detection result, or that does not perform detection of the specific area.
