Prostate cancer diagnosis device using Fractal dimension value and method for providing prostate cancer diagnosis information

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and method for diagnosing a prostate cancer using a fractal dimension value are provided to supply an objective diagnosis result about a biopsy and reduce the diagnosis time of a prostate cancer. CONSTITUTION: A semiconductor laser unit irradiates excitation laser beams. An endoscope(150) receives auto-fluorescence from a bioptic tissue. An optical unit(120) receives the auto-fluorescence from the endoscope. A detecting unit(130) detects the intensity of the auto-fluorescence dependent on time. A diagnosing unit(140) calculates a fractal dimension value using a fractal dimension algorithm and a gleason score using a gleason grade.
