METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING BRAIN VASCULAR AGE FROM MEDICAL IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a system for estimating brain vascular age from a medical image, the method for estimating brain vascular age from a medical image comprising the steps of: collecting brain vascular images with age information of a plurality of subjects; pre-processing a brain vascular image with age information to detect the position of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) for machine learning through a convolutional neural network (CNN) having a plurality of learning layers; machine learning through the convolutional neural network (CNN) comprising a plurality of convolutional layers for calculating feature maps by using the pre-processed brain vascular image with the age information as an input value of an input layer and applying a weight to the input value; and estimating a brain vascular age through the machine-learned convolutional neural network (CNN).
