Claim 7:
8. A device for correcting a brain image by using a brain structure, the device comprising:
a memory configured to store at least one instruction for correcting the brain image by using the brain structure; and
a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory,
wherein, when the at least one instruction is executed, as a response to the instruction, the processor is configured to:
obtain a head image including a brain of an object;
segment the head image into a plurality of regions based on the brain structure; and
perform correction on the plurality of regions by using a layer arrangement condition of a brain,
wherein the layer arrangement condition comprises:
a first condition that a layer disposed outside a layer corresponding to a skin does not exist;
a second condition that a layer corresponding to a cerebrospinal fluid does not contact the layer corresponding to the skin;
a third condition that a layer corresponding to an inner brain region does not contact a layer corresponding to a skull or the layer corresponding to the skin;
a fourth condition that a layer corresponding to a white matter in the inner brain region does not exist outside a layer corresponding to a gray matter in the inner brain region; and
a fifth condition that an arrangement distribution of all layers in the layer structure of the brain is within a given range, and

wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine whether the plurality of regions comply with the layer arrangement condition in the order of the fifth condition, the fourth condition, the third condition, the second condition, the first condition, and the fifth condition;
extract a region, which does not comply with the layer arrangement condition, from among the plurality of regions; and
correct the extracted region to comply with the layer arrangement condition.
