APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING WHETHER MALIGNANT TUMOR IS IN OBJECT BY USING MEDICAL IMAGE

摘要

A malignant tumor estimation method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: acquiring location information of at least one mass detected from a medical image of an object, and a first probability of the at least one mass being a malignant tumor; acquiring location information of at least one microcalcification detected from the medical image, and a second probability of the at least one microcalcification being a true microcalcification; determining the first mass and the first microcalcification based on location information of the at least one mass and location information of the at least one microcalcification; and determining a malignant tumor probability of the first mass using the first probability of the first mass and the second probability of the first microcalcification.
