a display controller configured to cause the first display and the second display to display an image;
an operation part for operating a pointer displayed on the first display and the second display;
an annotation generator including a position specifying part configured to receive designation of a position on the medical image displayed on the first display by using the pointer and specifying the position of the medical image data of a portion corresponding to the medical image at the position, and attach to the medical data, the annotation data representing a position specifying annotation that makes it possible to view the position on the medical image based on the position of the medical image data of the portion specified by the position specifying part;
an address information acquiring part configured to acquire address information for reading out the medical image data to which the annotation data is attached;
a linking part configured to link the address information to a link object such as a string designated by using the pointer on the generation screen displayed on the second display; and
a sign attaching part configured to base on the designation of the position on the medical image and a designation of the link object corresponding to the designation of the position attach a unique identification sign indicating a correspondence relation between the generated position specifying annotation and the designated link object to the designated position both on the medical image and to a position of the designated link object;
wherein when receiving designation of the corresponding link object after the linking, based on designation of the position on the medical image and designation of the link object corresponding to the designation of the position, the display controller refers to the medical image data to which the annotation data linked to the link object is attached and highlights the position specifying annotation indicating the position on the medical image corresponding to the link object.

Abstract
A first display displays a medical image based on medical image data. A second display displays a generation screen for generating a string of a medical imaging report. A display controller causes the first display and the second display to display images. An operation part is for operating a pointer displayed on the first display and the second display. An annotation generator receives designation of a position on the medical image displayed on the first display by using the pointer, and attaches sign data representing a position specification sign to the medical image data. An address information acquiring part acquires address information for reading out the medical image data to which the sign data is attached. A linking part links the address information to a link object such as a string designated by using the pointer and displayed on the generation screen displayed on the second display.
