Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, disclosed is a method to read a chest image. The method includes: determining whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for a chest image; detecting a lung region and a heart region respectively which are included in the chest image, by using a neural network model, when it is determined to identify presence of cardiomegaly of the chest image; and calculating a cardiothoracic ratio of the chest image using the detected lung region and the detected heart region.
Claims19
A method to read a chest image, the method comprising:
- determining whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for the chest image;
- detecting a lung region and a heart region respectively which are included in the chest image, using a neural network model, when it is determined to identify the presence of cardiomegaly for the chest image;
- and
- calculating a cardiothoracic ratio of the chest image using the detected lung region and the detected heart region,
- wherein the determining whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for the chest image comprising:
- classifying the chest image as a first image acquired according to a first photographic direction or a second type image acquired according to a second photographic direction different from the first photographic direction;
- and
- determining whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for the chest image, based on the classification result of the chest image.
A server, comprising:
- a processor comprising one or more cores;
- a network unit;
- and
- a memory,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for a chest image;
- detect a lung region and a heart region respectively which are included in the chest image, by using a neural network model, when it is determined to identify presence of cardiomegaly for the chest image;
- calculate a cardiothoracic ratio of the chest image using the detected lung region and the detected heart region;
- classify the chest image as a first image acquired according to a first photographic direction or a second type image acquired according to a second photographic direction different from the first photographic direction;
- and
- determine whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for the chest image, based on the classification result of the chest image.
A terminal, comprising:
- a processor comprising one or more cores;
- a memory;
- and
- an output unit providing a user interface,
- wherein the user interface displays information on whether or not to identify presence of cardiomegaly for a chest image,
- wherein the user interface visualizes and displays a cardiothoracic ratio of the chest image, calculated using a lung region and a heart region detected from the chest image,
- wherein the information on whether or not to identify the presence of cardiomegaly is determined based on a classification result that classify the chest image as a first image acquired according to a first photographic direction or a second type image acquired according to a second photographic direction different from the first photographic direction.
