Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring motility of ciliated cells in a respiratory tract. The method includes the operations of: acquiring image data including a plurality of frames of respiratory tract organoids; identifying positions of ciliated cells by performing motion-contrast imaging on the image data; when a region of interest (ROI) related to the position of the ciliated cells is selected, measuring a ciliary beat frequency (CBF) related to motility of cilia included in the selected region of interest using cross-correlation between the plurality of frames; and expressing the cilia included in the region of interest in a preset display method on the basis of the range of the measured ciliary beat frequency.
