Embodiment Construction

[0017] Various details involved in the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be pointed out that the described embodiments are only intended to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, and do not have any limiting effect.

[0018] The invention is an automatic segmentation of a three-dimensional magnetic resonance brain image of a T1 weighted image. Such as figure 1 As shown, images 102 and 104 show the input images required for brain image segmentation, wherein 102 is an axial view of a layer of T1-weighted 3D MRI brain images, and 104 is a group of manually segmented atlases .

[0019] The present invention proposes a multi-atlas segmentation method based on iterative statistics under the framework of multi-atlas segmentation. Using a group of images with manual segmentation results as the atlas, first use the traditional statistical multi-atlas method to initial...

Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance image brain structure automatic dividing method based on statistics multi-map registration optimization. A manual image dividing method is utilized for obtaining a plurality of maps; the maps are registered to images to be divided one by one; the images to be divided are subjected to initial dividing; the initial dividing images are subjected to iteration optimization processing; a registration field between each map and the images to be divided is calculated by using multi-channel image registration, and the registration field is used for registering the images of the maps and the dividing results to image spaces to be divided; and the final dividing results are calculated. The iteration method is utilized for simultaneously optimizing the registration precision of the maps and the dividing images and the dividing results of the images to be divided, so that the final dividing results are obviously superior to those of the traditional multi-map dividing method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical image processing, in particular to a method for automatically segmenting three-dimensional magnetic resonance brain images. Background technique [0002] In the basic and clinical research of medical imaging, the segmentation of MRI brain images is of great significance. Reliable and accurate brain segmentation is widely used in many medical imaging applications, such as surgical planning, study of disease course, brain development of old or young people, etc. Brain segmentation involves segmenting brain tissue and brain structures. In traditional research, the segmentation results obtained by manual calibration of brain MRI images by trained experts are the gold standard for image segmentation. However, this method is very time-consuming, especially as the data set continues to grow, this method becomes less and less feasible. In addition, manual calibration is also prone to introduce intra-in...
