Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for segmenting a lung blood vessel in a lung mask image. The method for segmenting the lung blood vessel in the lung mask image includes calculating a response value of a blood vessel similarity function under different blood vessel scales of each of a plurality of voxels in the lung mask image in a blood vessel scale range, and using the response value as a lung vessel image of each voxel under different blood vessel scales; obtaining the target blood vessel scale of each voxel in the lung mask image, and obtaining a lung blood vessel image corresponding to the target blood vessel scale of each voxel as a target lung blood vessel image of each voxel; and fusing the target lung blood vessel images of the plurality of voxels to obtain a fused target lung blood vessel image. Through the method for segmenting the lung blood vessel in the lung mask image, accuracy of segmenting the lung blood vessel in the lung mask image can be effectively improved, and an effect of segmenting the lung blood vessel in the lung mask image can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of segmenting pulmonary vessels, in particular to a method and device for segmenting pulmonary vessels from a lung mask image. Background technique [0002] Accurate pulmonary vascular segmentation is an important step in the lung computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) system. In the automatic identification and detection of pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vascular tissue needs to be extracted first to narrow the scope of lesion detection. In the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer, it is removed Pulmonary vessel interference is used to reduce false positives in pulmonary nodule detection, and the distribution of pulmonary vessels is used to guide lung lobe segmentation in surgical navigation. However, the pulmonary blood vessels present an intricate tree structure, containing 23 branches in the lung, and the diameter of the vessels varies from 20 micrometers to 15 millimeters. On CT images, th...
