Abstract

A report creating support apparatus displays, on a display unit, an evaluation item associated with a diagnosis target and a plurality of evaluation values for the evaluation item, determines one indicated evaluation value from the plurality of evaluation values displayed, and superimposes criteria information of the indicated evaluation value and criteria information of not less than one evaluation value other than the indicated evaluation value among the plurality of evaluation values on display.

Claims

1. A report creating support apparatus comprising:

a first display processing unit configured to display, on a display unit, an evaluation item associated with a diagnosis target and a plurality of evaluation values for the evaluation item;

a determination unit configured to determine one indicated evaluation value from the plurality of evaluation values displayed by said first display processing unit; and

a second display processing unit configured to superimpose criteria information of the indicated evaluation value and criteria information of not less than one evaluation value other than the indicated evaluation value among the plurality of evaluation values on display by said first display processing unit.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the criteria information of the evaluation value other than the indicated evaluation value is criteria information of an evaluation value adjacent to the indicated evaluation value on a predetermined array of the plurality of evaluation values.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the criteria information of the evaluation value other than the indicated evaluation value is criteria information of evaluation values excluding the indicated evaluation value on a predetermined array of the plurality of evaluation values.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said second display processing unit simultaneously displays the criteria information of the indicated evaluation value and the criteria information of evaluation values other than the indicated evaluation value on the display unit.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said second display processing unit displays the criteria information of the indicated evaluation value and the criteria information of evaluation values other than the indicated evaluation value in a predetermined display frame on the display unit.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said second display processing unit switches and displays the criteria information of the indicated evaluation value and the criteria information of evaluation values other than the indicated evaluation value at predetermined time intervals.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said determination unit determines the one evaluation value indicated by pointing a cursor position to one of the plurality of evaluation values.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the evaluation item and the plurality of evaluation values displayed by said first display processing unit are selected based on identification information input by a user.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the identification information is attribute information of the image as the diagnosis target.

10. A report creating support method comprising:

a first display processing step of displaying, on a display unit, an evaluation item associated with a diagnosis target and a plurality of evaluation values for the evaluation item;

a determination step of determining one indicated evaluation value from the plurality of evaluation values displayed in the first display processing step; and

a second display processing step of superimposing criteria information of the indicated evaluation value and criteria information of not less than one evaluation value other than the indicated evaluation value among the plurality of evaluation values on display in the first display processing step.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for controlling a computer to execute respective steps of claim 10.
