  • Patent number: 11602322
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, an apparatus, and a system for detecting and classifying an ischemic stroke based on a medical image. A medical image based ischemic stroke detecting and type classifying apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an acquiring unit which collects images related to a brain of at least one patient; a detecting unit which determines whether the at least one patient is a large vessel occlusion patient, based on the collected image; a determining unit which determines whether a type of the large vessel occlusion is embolism or intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS), when the at least one patient is a large vessel occlusion patient; and a diagnosing unit which provides treatment direction information which is applied differently according to the determined type of the large vessel occlusion.

  • Patent number: 11568538
    Abstract: A device and a method for detecting a tumor using a medical image and diagnosing a shape and a property of the detected tumor are disclosed. An exemplary medical image-based tumor detection and diagnostic device includes: an input unit configured to obtain a medical image related to a patient; a preprocessing unit configured to preprocess the obtained medical image to observe a tumor region; an analysis unit configured to divide the preprocessed image into a plurality of regions by applying a deep neural network-based deep learning technique; and a measurement unit configured to group the plurality of divided regions by performing clustering on the plurality of divided regions. The measurement unit extracts a group feature value in respect to each of the grouped regions and derives diagnosis information related to the tumor based on the extracted group feature value.

  • Publication number: 20220151539
    Abstract: A biological classification device and a method for Alzheimer's disease using a brain image are disclosed. The biological classification device includes an image receiving unit which receives a plurality of images obtained by capturing images of a brain of a subject; an image processing unit which acquires neurodegeneration feature related to the brain of the subject and standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) information from the plurality of images; an image analysis unit which performs first determination of a presence or absence of cranial nerve abnormality based on the neurodegeneration feature(s) and second determination and third determination of a presence or absence of abnormality of beta amyloid protein and tau protein, respectively, based on the SUVR information; and a classifying unit which performs biological classification of the subject related to Alzheimer's disease using the first, the second, and the third determinations together.
