Abstract
A method of quantifying a size of a tissue of interest in a animal through a device including a storage, an image processor, and a display by using an X-ray image of the animal is proposed. The proposed method may include storing the X-ray image in the storage, displaying the X-ray image on the display, performing, by the image processor, processes of (i) calculating a reference value for a length of a reference tissue of the animal displayed on the X-ray image, (ii) calculating a value of a length in at least one specific direction of the tissue of interest of the animal displayed on the X-ray image, and (iii) quantifying the size of the tissue of interest as a ratio of the value of the length to the reference value, and displaying the quantified size of the tissue of interest on the display.
