APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BONE DENSITY DIAGNOSIS BASED ON NOISE OF CT IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for diagnosing a bone mineral density using a distributed image noise of a medical image and a method for providing diagnostic information of bone mineral density to measure bone density using the noise included in a medical image, The method includes analyzing a medical image and detecting an object region in which a human skeleton is photographed; Selecting an area located within a predetermined distance from an outer periphery of the object area as a peripheral area; Detecting a noise value for the peripheral region; And converting the noise level into bone density by referring to information on the correlation between the noise value and the bone density.
