This paper proposes a process to detect the slice with BME and its location as the rationale of the judgment from an MRI scan and shows its effectiveness using 86 MRI scans. In the future, we plan to develop a process for detecting other findings such as bone erosion from MR scans, followed by the development of a diagnostic support system.
