US 2026/0057588 A1 · IMAGE ANALYSIS DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE ANALYSIS DEVICE

Abstract

Provided are an image analysis device and a method for controlling an image analysis device that can easily correct contours of a target structure given to two types of ultrasound images showing different cross sections. An image analysis device includes: a contour giving unit that gives a first contour and a second contour of a target structure to a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image, respectively; a manual correction receiving unit that receives a correction applied to the second contour by a user; a first feature extraction unit that extracts a first feature from the first ultrasound image; a second feature extraction unit that extracts a second feature from information of the correction applied to the second contour by the user; and a contour resetting unit that automatically resets the first contour, based on the first feature and the second feature.

Dependent claims

An image analysis device comprising:

a processor configured to:
perform image recognition for providing at least one first ultrasound image and at least one second ultrasound image to generate a first contour and a second contour of the target structure to the at least one first ultrasound image and the at least one second ultrasound image, respectively, where the at least one first ultrasound image and at least one second ultrasound image show different cross sections of a target structure in a subject;
receive a manual correction applied to the second contour by a user;
extract a first feature related to the first contour from the at least one first ultrasound image;
extract a second feature related to information of the manual correction, which has been applied to the second contour by the user, from the information of the correction;
and
automatically reset the first contour, based on the first feature and the second feature.
