DlEMENTIA CLASSIFICATION METHOD BY DISTANCE ANALYSIS FROM THE CENTRAL CORONAL PLANE OF THE BRAIN HIPPOCAMPUS

摘要

Disclosed is a method for classifying dementia based on a distance analysis from a coronal center of a brain hippocampus capable of diagnosing a diagnosis and prognosis of a dementia state. The dementia classification method includes a region of interest extraction step of extracting a hippocampal region from a brain MR image, an image reconstruction step of reconstructing a sagittal image of the hippocampal region into a coronal plane image, and a hippocampus from the coronal plane reconstructed image. A center point displaying step of finding and displaying any one of an axial point or a center of gravity of the hippocampus as a center point, an outline searching step of searching for an edge of the hippocampus from the center point, and a number of pixels from the outline searching step to the edge of the hippocampus A distance calculation step of measuring a distance, a three-dimensional color mapping step of displaying a predetermined color different from each other according to the center point and the distance measured in the distance calculation step, and a dispersion value and a weight value of the distance measured in the distance calculation step Including the statistical analysis step to obtain.
