Abstract
Provided is a device and method for calculating a lesion feature. The device includes a border discriminator configured to discriminate a border of a lesion on an image of an image signal, a border sharpness normalizer configured to normalize a border sharpness based on the border determined by the border discriminator and output the normalized border sharpness as a feature, and a vector generator configured to generate a vector having the feature outputted from the border discriminator as a component. Therefore, by using the lesion feature calculating device and method according to embodiments of the present invention, types of lesions on ultrasonic images are classified based on the borders of the lesions.
