IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM
FIG8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display of, for example, a radiographic image on a display unit by the console according to the embodiment
In addition, the control unit 40 may determine which of predetermined categories classified on the basis of the percentage of the mammary glands derived in Steps S204 to S206 the breast belongs to and may display the category in addition to the percentage of the mammary glands. In this case, the "category" may be the same as or different from the type of breast. The criteria for determining the category are not particularly limited. For example, in a case in which the percentage of the mammary glands in the entire breast and the percentage of the mammary glands in a portion of the breast are derived, the category classified according to a combination thereof may be used. FIG8 illustrates an example of the display of the radiographic image, information indicating the percentage of the mammary glands, and information indicating the category on the display unit 46 by the control unit 40 in this case. FIG8 illustrates an example in which a radiographic image 50 includes a breast image 54 and a direct region (an image of the direct region) 56 and information 60 indicating the percentage of the mammary glands and information 62 indicating the category are displayed in the direct region 56 of the radiographic image 50 so as to be superimposed on the direct region 56.

information
['1. An image processing apparatus (6) comprising: an acquisition unit (40) that is adapted to acquire a radiographic image of a breast and information indicating a thickness of the breast in capture of the radiographic image; and a derivation unit (40) that is adapted to derive a percentage of mammary glands of a breast image in the radiographic image acquired by the acquisition unit  characterized in that  the derivation unit is adapted to use 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.']
