Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D vertebra CT image active contour segmentation method fusing weighted random forest, and relates to the field of medical image processing. For the problem of sensitivity ofa vertebra CT image segmentation method to an initial contour, a method for automatically locating a vertebra and segmenting a vertebra CT image is proposed. The method comprises the steps of firstly, proposing a weighted random regression and classification forest algorithm to determine a vertebra center; secondly, putting an initial contour ball of active contour segmentation in the vertebra center, and segmenting out the vertebra in the image by adopting a 3D active contour segmentation method in combination with an energy function; and finally, performing combination output on trained models to obtain a complete vertebra CT image segmentation model. A spinal CT segmentation model proposed in the method can automatically locate the vertebra center and can perform automatic 3D segmentation on the vertebra, so that the spinal CT image segmentation steps and processes are simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical image processing, in particular to a method for active contour segmentation of 3D vertebral CT images fused with weighted random forest. Background technique [0002] Image segmentation is the process of segmenting an image into regions and extracting objects of interest. Currently, image segmentation is widely used in computer-aided diagnosis of medical images. Segmentation of medical images is considered the basis of image processing analysis. With the continuous development of medical image processing and analysis technology, medical image processing is developing rapidly. Using computer to analyze and process images is an important research in modern medicine, which has important significance and practical value. [0003] The spine, also known as the vertebrae, is the bony structure that forms the central axis of gravity in the upper part of the body. Spine Image has various medical image models, suc...
