Method for nerve tracking, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for nerve tracking, a non-temporary computer readable medium and equipment. The method includes performing a neural tracking procedure on the diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance image of the brain of the subject through a plurality of verified better tracking parameters to obtain a plurality of first tracking images; intercepting a plurality of nerve fibers between the two first regions of interest from each first tracking image; and establishing a nerve bundle skeleton from the nerve fibers intercepted by the plurality of first tracking images according to asuperposition program, and finally selecting a plurality of nerve fibers with a structure similar to that of the nerve bundle skeleton to obtain a specific nerve bundle of the tested person. Accordingly, the method for nerve tracking, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and apparatus may be used to achieve improved sensitivity to nerve tracking, and contribute to improving effects of pre-operative assessment and intra-operative navigation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method, non-transitory computer-readable medium and equipment for nerve tracing, especially a method, non-transitory computer-readable medium and equipment for nerve tracing that can improve the sensitivity of nerve tracing. Background technique [0002] White matter is one of the three main components of the central nervous system. It is composed of nerve fibers. Its function is to connect and transmit nerve impulses. The timing and maturity of its growth will affect learning, self-control and mental illness. Therefore, the development of nerve fiber reconstruction technology for imaging through the spatial microstructure information of nerve fibers has attracted the attention of researchers related to information and neuroscience. [0003] Using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to reconstruct nerve fibers is currently the only way to display the direction of nerve fibers in vivo. By observing the diffusion of wa...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] To sum up, it can be seen that there has been no standard tracking parameter range in the prior art for a long time, only using a single tracking parameter for nerve tracking and underestimating the direction of nerve bundles, and the inability to integrate various tracking parameters for nerve tracking. Therefore, it is necessary to Propose improved technical means to solve this problem
