    摘要: The method of segmenting a lesion in an image according to the present invention includes the steps of: obtaining an image of a region of interest from an image of a lesion; adjusting the contrast of the obtained image of the region of interest such that the contrast changes according to the distance from the center of the region of interest; removing noise from the image whose contrast is adjusted; and separating the region of the lesion from the noise-removed image. In the step of adjusting the contrast, the image is adjusted such that the contrast is increased as it goes away from the center of the region of interest, and thus it is possible to segment the lesion while maintaining the original shape of the lesion, thereby reliably segmenting the lesion even in the case where the inside of the lesion is not uniform.

    摘要: There are provided a method and support device for measuring jawbone mineral density using a jawbone X-ray image. The method for measuring jawbone mineral density includes: obtaining a jawbone X-ray image using a support device for jawbone; defining a region of interest from the obtained jawbone X-ray image; and measuring jawbone mineral density from the defined region of interest. Therefore, the support device for measuring jawbone mineral density may be useful to measure jawbone mineral density with a jawbone X-ray imaging device, which has been widely used in dental clinics, by using the method.

    摘要: A non-intrusive wearable respiratory failure alarm apparatus and method capable of detecting a user's respiratory failure state by estimating a change in a user's respiratory rate, while minimizing restrictions on a user's behavior are provided. The non-intrusive wearable respiratory failure alarm apparatus includes: a chest girth measurement unit including one or more resistive electro-threads attached to or worn on a user's chest, and generating a resistance value corresponding to the user's chest girth through the resistive electro-threads; a signal processing unit calculating a user's respiratory rate and whether or not the user is in respiratory failure by referring to the resistance value; and an output unit providing information regarding the user's respiratory rate and/or information regarding whether or not the user is in respiratory failure to the user or a monitoring device.
