Abstract

A pneumonia area detecting system includes an information obtaining module, an image preprocessing module, a calculating module, and a pneumonia area detecting model. The information obtaining module obtains medical images and a frame size of an initial pneumonia area. The image preprocessing module processes the medical images to obtain a standard format image. The calculating module processes the frame size of the initial pneumonia area through a preset algorithm and the standard format image, to obtain a frame size of a standard format pneumonia area. The pneumonia area detecting model obtains an output pneumonia area according to the standard format image and the frame size of the standard format pneumonia area. A pneumonia area detecting method and an electronic device are also provided in the present disclosure.
