         8 . A medical report writing support system comprising:
 an analyzing unit which analyzes a difference regarding at least one of a change in key images between a first report and a second report regarding a predetermined patient and a change in hyperlinks, and determines whether a difference exists therebetween;   a specification unit which specifies at least one of an operator of the second report, an operator who referred to the second report, and an operator who referred to the first report; and   a notification unit which notifies the specified operator about existence of the difference, when the analyzing unit determines that the difference exists.   
     
     
         9 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 8 , further comprising
 a difference information generation unit which generates difference information based on an analyzed result of the analyzing unit.   
     
     
         10 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the difference information generation unit generates differential information representing at least one of correction, addition, and deletion of text strings included in the first version of the report, as the difference information.   
     
     
         11 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the difference information generation unit generates, as difference information, differential information representing at least one of deletion or replacement of a key image attached to the first version of the report, attachment of a new key image to the first version of the report, change in an image parameter for the key image attached to the first version of the report, correction, addition, and deletion of a comment on the key image attached to the first version of the report.   
     
     
         12 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the difference information generation unit generates differential information representing any one of correction, addition, and deletion of a hyperlink included in the first version of the report.   
     
     
         13 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a specification unit which specifies at least one of an operator of the second version of the report, an operator who has referred to the second version of the report, and an operator who has referred to the first version of the report; and   a notification unit which notifies the specified operator about existence of the difference information, when the difference information has been generated.   
     
     
         14 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 8 , wherein
 a predetermined instruction is an instruction for storing the second version of the report.   
     
     
         15 . The medical report writing support system according to  claim 8 , wherein
 a predetermined instruction is an instruction for starting the analysis and input by the operator through an input unit at an arbitrary timing.   
     
     
         16 . A medical report writing unit comprising:
 an analyzing unit which analyzes a difference regarding at least one of a change in key images between a first version of a report and a second version of the report regarding a predetermined patient and a change in hyperlinks, and acquires an analyzed result; and   a difference information generation unit which generates difference information based on the analyzed result.   
     
     
         17 . A medical image observation unit comprising:
