DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING A PROSTATE CANCER USING A FRACTAL DIMENSION VALUE CAPABLE OF REDUCING DIAGNOSIS TIME

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and method for diagnosing a prostate cancer using a fractal dimension value are provided to supply an objective diagnosis result about a biopsy and reduce the diagnosis time of a prostate cancer.;CONSTITUTION: A semiconductor laser unit irradiates excitation laser beams. An endoscope(150) receives auto-fluorescence from a bioptic tissue. An optical unit(120) receives the auto-fluorescence from the endoscope. A detecting unit(130) detects the intensity of the auto-fluorescence dependent on time. A diagnosing unit(140) calculates a fractal dimension value using a fractal dimension algorithm and a gleason score using a gleason grade.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013;[Reference numerals] (110) Optical source unit; (120) Optical unit; (130) Detecting unit; (140) Diagnosing unit; (150) Endoscope; (AA) Probe; (BB) Prostate of human body
