Abstract:
Information indicating the correspondence relationship of imaging conditions, the thickness of an object, and the thickness of a specific composition included in the object, and a contrast correction amount is stored. The thickness of the object and the thickness of a specific composition included in the object of each unit region having one or two or more pixels of the radiation image are acquired. For each unit region of the radiation image, a contrast correction amount corresponding to a combination of the imaging conditions, the thickness of the object acquired for the unit region, and the thickness of the specific composition is acquired with reference to the stored information indicating the correspondence relationship, and contrast correction is performed using the acquired contrast correction amount.

Abstract:
A processor specifies a target bone, which is a target of state evaluation of a bone, from a radiation image of a subject, determines whether or not the state evaluation of the bone is possible based on a specification result of the target bone, derives an evaluation result by performing the state evaluation of the bone using the target bone in a case in which it is determined that the state evaluation of the bone is possible, and performs the state evaluation of the bone by changing an evaluation method in a case in which it is determined that the state evaluation of the bone is not possible.
Abstract:
A density region setting unit sets a specific density region having a preset width with respect to a subject region of a radiation image. A compression processing unit performs a dynamic range compression process with respect to the radiation image on the basis of a first compression amount for compressing at least one of the maximum value or the minimum value among pixel values of the subject region into the specific density region and a preset second compression amount for compressing at least one of a high-density region or a low-density region in the specific density region, to generate a dynamic range compression image.
Abstract:
A partial region extraction unit extracts a partial region including a distal portion in the vicinity of a boundary between a subject region including the distal portion and a void region from a radiological image including the distal portion of the human body. A designation region determination unit determines at least one of the void region and the partial region as a designation region for designating the partial region.
