Abstract
A device and a method for detecting a tumor using a medical image and diagnosing a shape and a property of the detected tumor are disclosed. An exemplary medical image-based tumor detection and diagnostic device includes: an input unit configured to obtain a medical image related to a patient; a preprocessing unit configured to preprocess the obtained medical image to observe a tumor region; an analysis unit configured to divide the preprocessed image into a plurality of regions by applying a deep neural network-based deep learning technique; and a measurement unit configured to group the plurality of divided regions by performing clustering on the plurality of divided regions. The measurement unit extracts a group feature value in respect to each of the grouped regions and derives diagnosis information related to the tumor based on the extracted group feature value.
