This invention provides a method for processing information that allows the discovery of a correlation between predetermined individual-related information and nucleotide sequence-related information concerning an individual. This method comprises: step (a) of calculating a percentage for each piece of nucleotide sequence-related information using a first occurrence frequency and a second occurrence frequency, wherein the first occurrence frequency is calculated for each possible piece of nucleotide sequence-related information in a given position in a nucleotide sequence based on a predetermined population and the second occurrence frequency is calculated for each possible piece of nucleotide sequence-related information in the aforementioned position based on the population gathered for predetermined individual-related information concerning an individual; and step (b) of associating the percentage calculated in step (a) with positional information representing the aforementioned position and with the nucleotide sequence-related information for each the predetermined piece of individual-related information.

Original image coordinate data representing boundary positions of an object detected through the search of the object along predetermined multiple directions is produced in advance. A range image seen from a display plane is produced through the affine transformation process for the detected boundary positions and comparison and substitution processes for distances by means of a Z-buffer. A shading process is performed based on the range image, and the resulting object image is displayed on a CRT screen or the like. This method enables the transformation of voxel-wise original image data into original image coordinate data merely through the sequential access to the original image data, eliminating the need of intricate image processes such as tracking on the object surface, and is capable of displaying a three-dimensional image of the object quickly and also enhancing the picture quality of the displayed image.

An objective is to provide a method and an apparatus for accurately extracting a region of an object particle from a urine particle image obtained by taking an image of urine particles in a urine specimen having varying properties. First, a first object region is extracted using one or more of an R image, a G image, and a B image of a urine particle image taken by an image input optical system configured to input particle images. Then, a density distribution and a size of the first object region of one or more of the R image, the G image, and the B image are calculated. Based on these feature parameters, the first object region is classified into a predetermined number of groups. A second object region is extracted from a local region including the first object region, by using one or more of the R image, the G image, and the B image, depending on each of the groups. This configuration allows stable region segmentation for each particle image even for a urine specimen in which urine particles having different sizes and tones coexist.

In the event of a suspected abnormality in the device, sample or reagent, a laboratory technician had to examine the abnormal reaction process data item by item, and infer the cause of the abnormality, which took effort and time in some cases. Abnormality judgment is assisted using: indicator computation means that computes an indicator indicating a feature parameter of a given waveform by applying a pre-defined evaluation formula to time series data of photometric values; relative indicator computation means that computes a value indicating a relationship of the indicator of target data to the indicator computed in the past; and indicator display means that simultaneously displays a value computed by the indicator computation means and the value computed by the relative indicator computation means. According to the present method, which is a method for assisting judgment of abnormality wherein a feature parameter of a given absorbance change is computed, it can be made easier to find certain abnormalities, and it becomes possible to attain more efficient device maintenance and improved device reliability without the addition of any new parts.

There is provided a system performing high-accuracy diagnostic decision support in consideration of the influence of a haplotype block and a genetic structure. Haplotype block inference means 13 infers the positions of haplotype blocks, and analyzes each of the haplotype blocks to infer a haplotype pattern of individuals with high accuracy. Genetic structure inference means 15 performs clustering the individuals on the basis of the haplotype pattern to divide a population into some subpopulations, and removes the influence of a genetic structure existing in the population. A genetic structure information database 16 and a clinical information database 11 are used to analyze association of clinical information with genetic information for providing high-accuracy diagnostic decision support knowledge. On the basis of the diagnostic decision support knowledge obtained by analyzing the association of clinical information with genetic information, risk calculation means 19 calculates a risk that a predetermined individual is affected by disease.

An annotation command data for annotating a displayed image is in the form of an original data block having a first data area holding an initial state for the displayed image and a second data area holding one or more commands and a starting time point of execution for each of the commands. Execution of each command is started at its associated starting time point of execution. For editing of the annotation command data, the original data block may be divided to produce therefrom plural secondary data blocks each having an initial state, a part of the one or more commands and a starting time point of execution for each of the part of the commands, so that one of the secondary data blocks is deleted, or a new data block having an initial state, one or more commands and starting time point of execution therefor is inserted between the secondary data blocks.
