Abstract

A method for controlling display of an abnormality includes obtaining a target chest X-ray image, detecting a structure including a linear structure formed of a first linear area that has been drawn by projecting anatomical structures whose X-ray transmittances are different from each other or a second linear area drawn by projecting an anatomical structure including a wall of a trachea, a wall of a bronchus, or a hair line, calculating an indicator for determining the abnormal state from the structure, comparing the indicator with a reference indicator, and determining whether the structure is in the abnormal state, and displaying, if it is determined that the structure is in the abnormal state, an image of an area of the target chest X-ray image including the structure determined to be in the abnormal state and details of the abnormal state.
