Abstract
An apparatus for a precise analysis of a severity of arthritis includes an image collection unit configured to collect a medical image having captured a joint of a user, a region detection unit configured to detect one or more regions of interest for analyzing arthritis in the medical image through a learned automatic region detection model, an individual analysis unit configured to extract quantitative feature values from the detected regions of interest and derives one or more individual analysis data from among a severity of arthritis, a severity of osteoproliferation, and a severity of hardness of a subchondral bone based on the feature values, and an integrated analysis unit configured to finely classify a severity of degenerative arthritis through an integrated analysis model learned based on the individual analysis data.
