Patent number: 11954850Abstract: A medical information processing system according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry and a display. On the basis of one of the type of at least one abnormality detection algorithm to which a medical image related to an examined subject is to be input and information relevant to an abnormality detected by inputting the medical image to the abnormality detection algorithm, the processing circuitry judges whether or not urgency is present in a disorder related to the abnormality. When it is determined that the urgency is present, the display displays, in an examination list of examination orders, assessment information related to assessing the abnormality and urgency information indicating the urgency so as to be positioned adjacent to any of the examination orders related to the abnormality.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Koichi Terai, Hiroki Saito, Kenichi Usui, Yosuke Okubo, Hirobumi Nonaka
