apparatus and method for providing information on Parkinson's disease using neuromelanin image

摘要

According to an aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for providing Parkinson's disease information using a neuromelanin image includes: an image receiving unit for obtaining an MRI image of a patient's brain; An image preprocessing unit preprocessing the acquired MRI image to enable observation of a neuromelanin region used as an image biomarker of Parkinson's disease; An image processing unit that analyzes the preprocessed MRI image, classifies a first image including the neuromelanin region, and detects the neuromelanin region from the classified first image; And an image analysis unit for diagnosing the presence of Parkinson's disease in the patient by analyzing whether the detected neuromelanin region is normal.
