AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing medical image diagnosis systems face challenges in efficiently handling large volumes of medical images from health checkups, particularly in reducing the burden on doctors when diagnosing both normal and abnormal images, and in managing the complexity and resource demands of multiple disease-specific AI models.

Method used

A medical image diagnostic system that includes a first determination to classify images as normal or abnormal, followed by specific AI models for each organ to detect abnormalities, with differentiated display and processing modes to reduce doctor workload.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively reduces the burden on doctors by quickly identifying normal images and focusing detailed analysis on potentially abnormal ones, optimizing hardware resource use and improving diagnostic efficiency.

Abstract

Provided are a medical image diagnostic system, a medical image diagnostic method, and a program that reduce the burden on a doctor when image diagnosis is performed on a large number of medical images, such as in health checkups. The above-described problem is solved by a medical image diagnostic system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory that stores commands for execution by the at least one processor, the at least one processor performing a first determination for determining whether a medical image obtained by photographing a subject is normal, and performing a second determination for determining whether there is any abnormality from the medical image when it is determined in the first determination that the medical image is not normal.
