Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is an apparatus including a computing system and supporting chest medical image reading, which detects various factors inside the lung region and provides medical staff with the detected factors together with information on symptoms of lung diseases. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus comprises a computing system and the computing system includes at least one or more processors. The at least one processor segments the airways and the blood vessels from medical images including the lungs; segments subregions corresponding to each of a plurality of intensity sections, which are divided and set on the basis of at least one of tissue property and condition of tissue, in an image of the lung region excluding the airway and the blood vessels from the medical image; and visualizes distribution of the subregions corresponding to each of the plurality of intensity sections in the image of the lung region. 컴퓨팅 시스템을 포함하며, 흉부 의료 영상의 판독을 지원하는 장치가 개시된다. 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 장치는 컴퓨팅 시스템을 포함하며 상기 컴퓨팅 시스템은 적어도 하나 이상의 프로세서를 포함한다. 상기 적어도 하나 이상의 프로세서는 폐를 포함하는 의료 영상으로부터 기도(airway)와 혈관(blood vessel)을 분할하고(segmentation), 상기 의료 영상으로부터 상기 기도와 상기 혈관을 제외한 폐 영역 영상에서 조직의 성질, 및 상태 중 적어도 하나 이상에 기반하여 구분되어 설정되는 복수의 밝기값(intensity) 구간 각각에 대응하는 소영역을 분할하고(segmentation), 상기 폐 영역 영상 내에서 상기 복수의 밝기값 구간 각각에 대응하는 상기 소영역의 분포를 시각화한다.
