CT IMAGE AUTO ANALYSIS METHOD, APPARATUS AND RECORDABLE MEDIUM FOR AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATING QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT INDEX OF CHEST-WALL DEFORMITY BASED ON AUTOMATIZED INITIALIZATION

摘要

PURPOSE: An automation method of CT image analysis and recording medium and apparatus thereof are provided to automatically extract inside boundary of a chest by applying image processing method and by making automation of initialization process. CONSTITUTION: An array unit horizontally array chest CT image based on boundary information about a lung(S320). A storage unit stores the boundary information of each site including the lung based on the chest CT image(S330). An edge map generating unit creates an edge map based on the boundary information of each site obtaining from the chest CT image(S340). A GVF field generating unit creates a GVF field corresponding to the edge map. A analysis unit calculates one or more indexes about chest transformation degree by analyzing inside boundary of the chest based on a curve fitting method(S390).
