System for Detection of Interstitial Lung Diseases and Method Therefor

摘要

PURPOSE: A system and a method for detecting interstitial lung diseases at a CT image are provided to automatically detect and quantify the initial interstitial lung disease using the CT image. CONSTITUTION: A lung dividing unit(10) divides and extracts a lung area from a CT image. A texture feature point extracting unit(20) extracts one or more texture features in an interest region. A classifying unit(30) classifies corresponding pixel into positivity or negativity with regard to interstitial lung diseases. A detection volume calculating unit(40) calculates the volume of all areas which are classified into positivity. A classification score calculating unit(50) calculates a volume ratio of a positive area to the whole area of a lung.
