Medical image analysis system and similar case retrieval system using quantative parameters, and methods for the same

A similar case retrieval method that is performed by a computing system, the similar case retrieval method comprising:

• receiving a second medical image via user input;
• performing image processing on the second medical image, and segmenting at least one anatomical region in the second medical image;
• generating a second quantitative parameter for at least one anatomical region based on quantitative measurement conditions that can be measured in the second medical image;
• and
• retrieving at least one first medical image having a first quantitative parameter similar to the second quantitative parameter of the second medical image from a database based on a similarity with the second quantitative parameter.

A computing system for performing medical image analysis, the computing system comprising at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

• perform image processing on a first medical image, and segment at least one anatomical region in the first medical image;
• generate a first quantitative parameter for the at least one anatomical region based on quantitative measurement conditions that can be measured in the first medical image;
• and
• store the first quantitative parameter in a database in association with the first medical image and the at least one anatomical region.
