Abstract

Embodiments of the invention disclose a medical image processing system and method. The system comprises one or more processors and a memory. The memory is used for storing one or more programs, and when the one or more programs are executed by one or more processors, enabling the one or more processors to perform operations of obtaining a medical image, inputting the medical image to a first artificial intelligence network, obtaining a first classification probability graph of the medical image, and determining target pixel points in the medical image according to the first classification probability graph, wherein each point in the first classification probability graph corresponds to the pixel point of the medical image; the artificial intelligence network is obtained by training previously according to medical image samples and corresponding target pixel points; and a set of the target pixel points is a target object. According to the processing system and method, the detection rate of the target pixel points is increased; and the accuracy of target object detection is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to medical image processing technologies, and in particular to a medical image processing system and method. 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 will be problems o...
