Problems solved by technology

CT images of the left atrial appendage have the following characteristics: there is no border between the left atrial appendage and the left atrium, and the parenchyma of the left atrial appendage has no texture features. Therefore, the border of the CT image of the left atrial appendage cannot be directly obtained, and the traditional image segmentation algorithm is not effective.

Abstract

The invention discloses a left-atrial-appendage CT image segmentation method, and relates to medical image processing. Firstly, left-atrial-appendage CT images are denoised, prior knowledge is utilized to construct missing boundary information of a left atrial appendage, and a region growing algorithm is used to obtain a single initial segmentation image to use the same as a single Atlas label graph; then information relationships of the single label graph and an adjacent left-atrial-appendage CT sequence are utilized for improved Atlas segmentation to obtain an initial segmentation sequence;contour information in the initial segmentation sequence is used as initial contours of a level set algorithm, and approximate Euclidean distance information of left-atrial-appendage CT sequence graphs is obtained to be used as feature input; and finally, a precise segmentation result sequence is obtained through a fast level set algorithm to achieve the purpose of left-atrial-appendage CT image segmentation.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to medical image processing, in particular to a left atrial appendage CT image segmentation method. Background technique [0002] The left atrial appendage is a component of the left atrium of the human body, and its function is to assist in pumping blood. The multi-branched structure of the left atrial appendage itself easily hinders the return of blood. When the left atrial appendage cannot be contracted properly, it will increase atrial pressure and cause atrial fibrillation. The structure of the left atrial appendage has an important impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When performing a closure operation on the left atrial appendage, how to choose a suitable closure device for the shape of the left atrial appendage is the basis for a successful operation. Therefore, the left atrial appendage CT image segmentation is one of the foundations of left atrial appendage image analysis and processing, and it has importa...
