Provided is a method of managing medical information in an operating system for a medical information database, the method including encrypting, by a first user, first medical information having patient treatment information by using a group key, and second medical information having patient private information by using a private key, generating, by the first user, an index corresponding to the encrypted first medical information, storing the encrypted first and second medical information and the index to the medical information database, searching, by a second user, the medical information database for the encrypted first medical information by using the index; and decrypting the searched encrypted first medical information by using the group key.

There is provided a method for detecting Ground Glass Opacity (GGO) using chest computed tomography. The method includes detecting a candidate cell having a brightness value within a detection range by sequentially scanning a three-dimensional image of a pulmonary region, and designating the candidate cell as a seed cell when surrounding cells of the candidate cell have brightness values within the detection range; when a plurality of seed cells are obtained by the designating of the candidate cell as a seed cell, grouping adjacent seed cells to obtain one or more candidate zones; and detecting one or more zones, which have a greater size than a GGO detection size and including therein more than the detection reference number of seed cells, out of the one or more candidate zones, and setting the detected one or more zones as one or more GGO candidates.

Provided are a phantom for standardizing ultrasonograph and a method of obtaining an ultrasonographic image using the phantom, and more particularly, a phantom for measuring fat content in a target organ as a gray level distribution using an ultrasonographic image and assessing the accuracy of ultrasonograph and a method and apparatus for obtaining a standardized ultrasonographic image using the phantom. Since the photographing characteristics of the ultrasonograph are readjusted using a phantom which comprises a phantom part including a strong ultrasonic echo material and a weak ultrasonic echo material, which create a gray level distribution in ultrasonography, in a specific composition and ratio, and assesses the accuracy of the ultrasonograph by comparing the composition and ratio of the materials with a composition and ratio of a gray level in an ultrasonographic image, the characteristics of the ultrasonograph can be standardized and fat content in a body part can be quantitatively measured without being affected by photographing techniques and conditions.

Provided is a system and method for semi-automatically processing a human body image. A segmentation unit segments portions having correlations with one another in a human body image using at least one of image processing functions. A feedback unit performs at least one of the image processing functions on the segmented human body image to improve accuracy of the segmented human body image. A classification unit applies corresponding colors to tissues of the segmented human body image, incorporates the segmented human body image into one image, and creates an image in which classification is completed. A display unit shows images that are results of processing by the segmentation unit, the feedback unit, and the classification unit on independent screen windows.
