Abstract

A method for densitometric analysis of a computed tomography image is provided. The method includes converting CT numbers of each pixel of a cross-sectional computed tomography image of the brain into Hounsfield unit (HU) values; eliminating an artifact from the computed tomography image of which the CT numbers of each pixel have been converted into the HU values, and extracting the brain tissues; and extracting a density distribution of the HU values from the computed tomography image, in which the artifact has been removed and the brain tissues have been extracted.
