Abstract: A control device acquires a plurality of images including an ultrasound image and a photoacoustic image taken in an examination, selects a first image and a second image to be displayed superimposed on the first image, based on information relating to the examination, and generates an object for outputting at least information for displaying the second image superimposed on the first image to an external device.

Abstract: An imaging control device acquires examination order information, outputs, external to the imaging control device, a captured image obtained based on a first imaging protocol information included in the examination order information, and acquires second imaging protocol information for additional imaging based on an instruction from an external apparatus that received the output captured image.

Abstract: An apparatus according to the present invention includes a display control unit configured to control to display an ultrasound image on a first display area in a display unit. In this case, the display control unit controls to, based on information representing a display instruction given when a moving image of the ultrasound image is being displayed, display a still image of a superimposition image of the ultrasound image and a photoacoustic image corresponding to a time point of the display instruction on a second display area different from the first display area in the display unit and, on the other hand, continue the display of the moving image of the ultrasound image on the first display area.

Abstract: There is provided with an imaging control apparatus. A reception unit receives an imaging order. A control unit permits adding identification information if the received imaging order includes no identification information and to inhibit correction of the identification information upon determining that the identification information is included in the imaging order. An obtaining unit obtains information to be added as the identification information if the identification information is not included in the imaging order. A transmission unit transmits an image captured in accordance with the imaging order and either the obtained identification information or the identification information included in the imaging order, in association with each other, to an external image archiving apparatus.

Abstract: A control apparatus comprises an instruction unit configured to receive an instruction to change one of a captured image and an image that is a processed image based on the captured image to a rejected image; and an assigning unit configured to assign information representing an imaging success/failure to the image based on information of an imaging protocol of the image and information representing whether the image is the rejected image instructed by the instruction unit.

Abstract: An apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first obtaining unit configured to obtain an ultrasound image generated by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves to and from an object, a display control unit configured to control a display unit to display the ultrasound image, a second obtaining unit configured to obtain a photoacoustic signal generated by receiving photoacoustic waves generated from light irradiated to the object, and a saving control unit configured to obtain information representing a save instruction given when the ultrasound image is being displayed, and configured to save in a storage unit the ultrasound image corresponding to a time point of the save instruction and information derived from the photoacoustic signal based on the information representing the save instruction.

Abstract: An imaging control device acquires examination order information, outputs, external to the imaging control device, a captured image obtained based on a first imaging protocol information included in the examination order information, and acquires second imaging protocol information for additional imaging based on an instruction from an external apparatus that received the output captured image.
