  • Publication number: 20240225588
    Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus of intelligent analysis for liver tumors, including an analysis module for receiving YOLOR-based training to acquire sufficient intelligence to detect and locate liver tumor automatically and attain a mAP score as high as 0.56 required to distinguish lesions of benignant and malignant liver tumors in medical images from each other, attaining a mAP score of 0.628 for tumors at least 5 cm in size or a mAP score of 0.33 for tumors less than 5 cm in size. Thus, the area under the liver tumor differentiation curve of the analysis module and the mAP score reach 0.9 and 0.56 respectively. The values equal those of the effect of the diagnosis rate of liver tumors with CT and MRI in practice. The method is advantageous in terms of higher speed and thus can diagnose liver tumors earlier, preclude delays and radiation, but incur low cost.
