1. A method for medical diagnostics, comprising:
- receiving three-dimensional (3D) volume data of at least a part of a body;
generating two-dimensional (2D) slices including cross-sections of the 3D volume data cut from a cross-section cutting direction;
outputting results of a determination of whether a lesion in at least two of the 2D slices is benign;
selecting a plurality of the at least two 2D slices based on the results; and
outputting a result of a final determination of whether a lesion included in the 3D volume data is benign based on the selected 2D slices.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for medical diagnostics includes receiving three-dimensional (3D) volume data of a part of a patient'"'"'s body, and generating two-dimensional (2D) slices including cross-sections of the 3D volume data cut from a cross-section cutting direction. The apparatus and the method also determine whether a lesion in each of the 2D slices is benign or malignant and output results indicative thereof, select a number of the 2D slices based on the results, and make a final determination whether the lesion is benign or malignant based on the selected 2D slices.
