Abstract:
A method for predicting a pulmonary disease includes acquiring a three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) image from two-dimensional CT images, each of which captures a respective body position of a first patient, dividing the three-dimensional CT image into a plurality of regions to obtain region-based three-dimensional CT images configured to be used for fractal analysis, calculating a region-based fractal dimension value indicating a fractal complexity of a respective region-based three-dimensional CT image among the generated region-based three-dimensional computed tomography images, adding additional information to the region-based fractal dimension value to generate high-dimensional data, and generating status information of the first patient based on the complexity of the generated high-dimensional data.
