摘要：
The present invention relates to a method for providing information on prostate cancer which can be applied to various fields related to prostate cancer diagnosis and makes it very easy to understand and apply an evaluation result due to quantitative calculation, since the prostate cancer can be diagnosed by using an image obtained by using transrectal ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as information related to malignancy of the prostate cancer can be provided. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a prostate image through MRI； extracting a lesion region image from the obtained image； individually calculating a red color average value (pixel R), the number of pixels of the lesion region (pixel count), a minimum value of a Hounsfield unit (pixel minimum Hounsfield unit), a maximum value of the Hounsfield unit (pixel maximum Hounsfield unit), an average value of the Hounsfield unit (pixel average Hounsfield unit), and a standard deviation of the Hounsfield unit (pixel standard deviation Hounsfield unit) from the extracted image； and applying the calculated values to the following equation, X = K1*pixel R+K2*pixel count+K3*pixel minimum Hounsfield unit+K4*pixel maximum Hounsfield unit+K5*pixel average Hounsfield unit+K6*pixel standard deviation Hounsfield unit+K7.본 발명은 전립선암에 관한 정보제공방법에 관한 것으로, 경직장초음파 및/또는 장기공명영상을 이용하여 획득된 영상을 이용하여 전립선암을 진단할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 전립선암의 악성도와 관련된 정보를 제공할 수 있기 때문에 전립선암 진단과 관련된 다양한 분야에 보조적으로 적용이 가능하며, 정량적인 산출로 인하여 평가 결과에 대한 이해 및 적용이 매우 용이할 것으로 기대된다.
