Computer-assisted lump detecting method based on mammary gland magnetic resonance image

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of medical image processing and pattern recognition, and provides a computer-assisted lump detecting method based on a mammary gland magnetic resonance image. The computer-assisted lump detecting method based on the mammary gland magnetic resonance image aims at solving the problems that in the prior art, the lump partition effect is not good, and the accuracy, the sensitivity and the specificity in a classification test are not high. The computer-assisted lump detecting method includes the following steps: S1, extracting an interest area from the mammary gland magnetic resonance image; S2, extracting an initial lump area from the interest area in a separated mode, and determining the contour line of the initial lump area; S3, calculating the weight distribution of characteristic parameters of the initial lump area; S4, selecting the characteristic parameters, with the weight coefficients larger than a standard weight coefficient, of the initial lump area, and carrying out training classifying to obtain optimized characteristic parameters; S5, inputting the optimized characteristic parameters into a classifier, analyzing the optimized characteristic parameters with a support vector machine classification method, determining a final lump area, and displaying the final lump area for a user. The detecting method has the good lump partition effect, the accuracy, the sensitivity and the specificity in the classification test are effectively improved, the detecting result serves as a second opinion to be provided for a radiologist, and the misdiagnosis rate and the missed diagnosis rate of the radiologist can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of medical image processing and pattern recognition, in particular to a computer-aided mass detection method based on breast magnetic resonance images. Background technique [0002] Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously affects women's physical and mental health. According to statistics, its incidence rate accounts for 7-10% of all kinds of malignant tumors in women's whole body. The etiology of breast cancer is not yet fully understood, and there is no good means of prevention and treatment. However, clinical experience shows that the cure rate of early-stage breast cancer patients is much higher than that of middle-advanced patients. Therefore, accurate early diagnosis is the key to reducing the incidence and mortality of breast cancer. At present, the important basis for the diagnosis of breast tumors in the medical field is breast magnetic resonance images, but breast magnetic resonance images are re...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In order to solve the problems of poor segmentation of tumors in the prior art and low accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in classification experiments, the present invention provides a computer-aided tumor detection method based on breast magnetic resonance images. It has a good segmentation effect on tumors, effectively improving the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity in the classification experiment, and providing the test results as a "second opinion" to radiologists, which can effectively reduce the doctor's misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate
