Abstract: A medical image diagnosis assistant apparatus is configured to acquire information about at least one target region in a medical image; acquire distribution information about a distribution of signal intensity values within the target region; generate first assistant information based on a first threshold for the signal intensity values within the target region; and generate second assistant information based on the distribution information and the first assistant information.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a communication interface and at least one processor. The processor is configured to obtain a size of a lumen in each of a plurality of aortic zones and first information for each of the plurality of aortic zones based on segmentation results of an aorta and the plurality of aortic zones within the aorta; and visualize the size of the true lumen, the first information, and a ratio between the size of the true lumen and the first information in each of the plurality of aortic zones by using a visualization segment corresponding to each of the plurality of aortic zones.

Abstract: Disclosed therein are a medical image reading assistance apparatus and method for assisting the reading of chest medical images. The medical image reading assistance apparatus includes a computing system, and the computing system includes at least one processor. The at least one processor segments airways and blood vessels from a medical image including the lungs, segments small regions corresponding to a plurality of intensity sections divided and set based on at least one of the property and state of tissue in a lung area image generated by excluding the airways and the blood vessels from the medical image, and visualizes the distributions of the small regions corresponding to the plurality of intensity sections within the lung area image.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical image reconstruction apparatus for reconstructing a medical image to assist the reading of a medical image. The medical image reconstruction apparatus includes a computing system, which includes: a receiver interface configured to receive a first medical image to which a first reconstruction parameter adapted to diagnose or analyze a first type of lesion is applied; and at least one processor configured to generate a second reconstruction parameter to be applied to the first medical image in response to a diagnosis order for the diagnosis or analysis of a second type of lesion. The at least one processor provides the second reconfiguration parameter to a user via a user interface, or generates a second medical image for the diagnose or analysis of the second type of lesion by executing the second reconstruction parameter on the first medical image and provides the second medical image to the user.

Abstract: A virtual endoscopy apparatus according to the present invention comprises a data processor generating volume data expressed by a three dimensional position function by using contiguous cross sectional image data of an inspection subject and based on the volume data, generating virtual endoscopy data of inside of the inspection subject; and a display unit displaying virtual endoscopy images according to the virtual endoscopy data, the data processor taking pictures of inside of the inspection subject while rotating a virtual camera around a movement path inside the inspection subject and generating the virtual endoscopy data at the same angle.
