Abstract

The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing, and an object thereof is to provide a method for learning a threshold that can provide a more objective threshold applied to pixels in the mammography image.The present invention provides a method for learning a threshold value applied to pixels in a mammography image comprising: an acquiring step; and a learning step, wherein in the acquiring step, the mammography image is acquired, in the learning step, a relationship between the mammography image and a mammary gland pixel estimation threshold is learned, the mammary gland pixel estimation threshold is a threshold value used to calculate a mammary gland pixel area of each pixel of a mammary gland region in the mammography image, and the mammary gland pixel area is a value indicating a degree of a mammary gland pixel-likeness of the pixel in the mammography image.
