Abstract

Provided is medical equipment and a technique for analyzing medical images. A method for automatically planning views in three-dimensional (3D) medical images includes: estimating a statistical model indicating positions of anatomical points, the statistical model having parameters calculated by minimizing energy of a loss function; training an anatomical point detector to detect the plurality of anatomical points by using the estimated statistical model; acquiring a 3D image having a region of interest; detecting a set of candidates of the anatomical points in the 3D image; searching the set of candidates for an optimal configuration corresponding to the plurality of anatomical points; and forming a view plane based on the optimal configuration found by the searching.
