Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a medical image processing method and a medical image processing system. The method includes: a plurality of medical images in a same detection area are obtained; the plurality of medical images are inputted into an artificial intelligence network to generate a plurality of probability distribution maps, wherein the probability distribution maps are used for determining the probabilities of belonging to target pixel points by pixel points in the medical image; carrying out fusion of the plurality of probability distribution maps to form a combined probability map; and determining a set of the target pixel points in at least one of the medical image according to the combined probability map. Therefore, the detection rate and the accuracy of the target pixel point are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image processing technologies, and in particular to a medical image processing method and a medical image processing system. Background technique [0002] When performing medical image detection, there are usually two situations in the detection results, one is the real target area, that is, the body position of the actual lesion; the other is a false positive, that is, the body position that does not actually have a lesion but the detection result is a lesion. Therefore, when performing medical image detection, filtering out false positives is crucial for correctly detecting the location of lesions. [0003] Existing methods for lesion detection first use a sliding window for initial detection, and then use a convolutional neural network to remove false positives. Due to the fact that the proportion of lesions and false positives in the image is very small, when the size of the window is too large, there...
