Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting a tail end bronchial tree from a lung CT image, comprising the following steps: slicing and numbering each original lung CT image according to the same sequence and size to obtain a plurality of image blocks; dividing the image blocks into diseased knots, no tissues or cavity walls, blood vessel or other lung tissues and lung cavity walls, and inputting the image blocks into a convolutional neural network for training. The image slice classification processing can reduce the system complexity, guarantees the integrity of pulmonary nodule characteristics, can be well used for the training of a convolutional neural network, has high sensitivity and low misdiagnosis rate, and enables the convolutional neural network to quickly realize the recognition and positioning of pulmonary nodules in the application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lung CT image processing, in particular to a method for extracting terminal bronchial trees from lung CT images. Background technique [0002] Pulmonary blood vessels are composed of pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, and are one of the most complex vascular structures in various tissues and organs of the human body. Starting from the pulmonary aorta and main pulmonary vein, the pulmonary blood vessels branch out step by step to form a tree-like vascular tree structure. In clinical diagnosis, accurate acquisition of the anatomical structure information of the pulmonary vascular tree is an important reference for assessing the risk of pulmonary hypertension and the basis for automatic detection of pulmonary embolism. It is also beneficial to reduce the false positive rate of pulmonary nodule detection. In clinical research, effectively separating the pulmonary vascular tree has important clinical sig...
