Abstract

The invention provides a blood vessel extracting method comprising the steps of determining the starting point of a blood vessel, determining a plurality of blood vessel sections of the blood vessel along the direction of the blood vessel by starting from the starting point of the blood vessel, and connecting the blood vessel sections to extract the blood vessel. The tubular structure adaptive tracking method based on a level set has higher adaptability. The resolution of the blood vessel sections is automatically adjusted according to the scale of the blood vessel. The method is applicable to extraction of blood vessels of different scales, and enables rapid and accurate extraction of complex blood vessels of the head and neck region, such as internal carotid artery and vertebral artery, to be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a processing method of medical tomography images, in particular to a blood vessel extraction method. Background technique [0002] Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA for short) is one of the important methods for diagnosing vascular diseases at present. However, since the blood vessels in the CTA image overlap with the CT values ​​of other tissues such as bones, extracting the blood vessels from other tissues is a key step in angiography. [0003] US Literature 1: Olivier Cuisenairea, Sunny Virmanib, Mark E.Olszewskib, Roberto Ardona. Fully automated segmentation of carotid and vertebral arteries from contrast enhanced CTA.Proc.of SPIE Vol.6914, 69143R, (2008) provides a model-based Methods: Firstly, the CTA images are registered with the existing blood vessel models to obtain the starting points of different blood vessels, and then the starting points are connected by an algorithm to obtain the centerline of the blood vesse...
