Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for measuring an endolymphatic hydrops ratio of inner ear organs using an artificial neural network. The method of measuring an endolymphatic hydrops ratio includes obtaining a plurality of frame images obtained by capturing inner ear organs, obtaining a plurality of pieces of mask data corresponding to each of the plurality of frame images by inputting the plurality of frame images into a neural network, clustering the plurality of pieces of mask data according to the inner ear organs and obtaining representative images according to the inner ear organs according to certain conditions, and overlapping a target image synthesized by using the plurality of frame images and the representative images according to the inner ear organs so as to measure an endolymphatic hydrops ratio.
