Abstract:
An apparatus for estimating a malignant tumor includes: a segmentor configured to segment a first medical image of an object into a first ROI including a mass and a second medical image of the object into a second ROI including a mass; an interest region determiner configured to acquire a first matched ROI and a second matched ROI, which is matched to the first matched ROI based on location information of the first ROI and the second ROI, respectively; a feature extractor configured to extract a similar feature indicating a degree of similarity between the first matched ROI and the second matched ROI, from the first matched ROI and the second matched ROI; and a classifier configured to generate malignant tumor information indicating whether the mass included in the first matched ROI and the second matched ROI is the malignant tumor, based on the extracted similar feature.
Abstract:
A medical image displaying apparatus includes: an image obtainer that obtains a medical image of an object without placing a physical ruler beside the object; a controller that generates a virtual ruler based on a location of the image obtainer when the medical image is obtained; and a display that displays the virtual ruler on the medical image.
Abstract:
A method of displaying a virtual ruler on separate images of an object includes: dividing the object into imaging areas in a predetermined direction and obtaining the separate images corresponding to the imaging areas; obtaining a first distance value for each respective separate image, as a distance from a reference point to a first side of the respective separate image, and a second distance value for each respective separate image, as a distance from the reference point to a second side of the respective separate image, the first side being opposite to the second side along the predetermined direction; and displaying the virtual ruler, which indicates distance values between the first distance value and the second distance value of each respective separate image, on each of the respective separate images.
