Abstract

To recognize a correspondence relation between a slice image and a scout image outside an image management device.SOLUTION: In an image interpretation terminal that processes information stored in an image management device that stores a slice image and a scout image for specifying a cross-sectional position of the slice image, when an operation of dragging and dropping the scout image onto a slice image 70 while pressing a predetermined key (Ctrl key) is performed, a composite image in which a scout image 71 is combined at a predetermined position (lower right region) in the slice image 70 is displayed on an image interpretation report (image interpretation report creation screen 231). To display a slice image and a scout image side by side on an image reading report when there is an operation of dragging and dropping the scout image onto the slice image without pressing a prescribed key.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
