IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM
FIG2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a console and a mammography apparatus according to the embodiment
For example, the console 6 according to this embodiment is a server computer. As illustrated in FIG2, the console 6 includes a control unit 40, a storage unit 42, an interface (I/F) unit 44, a display unit 46, and an operation unit 48. The control unit 40, the storage unit 42, the I/F unit 44, the display unit 46, and the operation unit 48 are connected to each other through a bus 49, such as a system bus or a control bus, such that they can transmit and receive various kinds of information. As illustrated in FIG2, the mammography apparatus 10 according to this embodiment comprises the radiation detector 11, the imaging unit rotating unit 19, a radiation emitting unit 28 including the radiation source 29, a control unit 30, a storage unit 32, an I/F unit 34, and an operation panel 36. The radiation detector 11, the imaging unit rotating unit 19, the radiation emitting unit 28, the control unit 30, the storage unit 32, the I/F unit 34, and the operation panel 36 are connected to each other through a bus 39, such as a system bus or a control bus, such that they can transmit and receive various kinds of information.

['10. A non-transitory recording medium recording an image processing program that causes a computer to perform: acquiring ; from a mammography apparatus or from a storage unit a radiographic image of a breast and information indicating a thickness of the breast in capture of the radiographic image; and deriving a percentage of mammary glands of a breast image in the radiographic image using different methods in a case in which the thickness of the breast is equal to or greater than a predetermined thickness and a case in which the thickness of the breast is less than the predetermined thickness.']
