Embodiment

[0081] Attached below figure 1 To illustrate the specific process of the present invention:

[0082] Step 1, acquiring carotid MRI image sequences.

[0083] The image sequence can be bright blood sequence such as 2D TOF (time of flight), 3D TOF, or black blood sequence such as T1, T2, T1+ and PD. In the present invention, a T1+ sequence is taken as an example to illustrate the specific process of the three-dimensional segmentation of the lumen.

[0084] Step 2, manually specify a rectangular region of interest (ROI) within the slice

[0085] Browse through the 3D carotid artery image sequence, and select a slice with the best blood vessel quality. The selection criteria are generally healthy blood vessels with less artifacts and no plaque or relatively few plaques. A slice with the best blood vessel quality is as follows: figure 1 a) as shown.

[0086] Then, a rectangular region of interest (ROI) is selected in the slice through manual interaction. The rectangular region m...

Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional image segmentation method based on random walk and a level set. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a three-dimensional image sequence; selecting a two-dimensional slice from the three-dimensional image sequence, and defining a region of interest on the two-dimensional slice; carrying out super-pixel processing on the region of interest to obtain a plurality of super-pixel segmentation regions, and taking a pixel mean value in each super-pixel segmentation region as a pixel value of the super-pixel region to obtain a corresponding super-pixel uniform filling region; according to the superpixel uniform filling region, segmenting the region of interest by using a random walk algorithm to obtain a two-dimensional segmentation result in the slice; and transmitting the obtained two-dimensional segmentation result to other slices based on a level set method to obtain a segmentation result of the three-dimensional image. According to the method, two-dimensional slice segmentation is carried out by utilizing random walk based on superpixels, and then a segmented result is transmitted to other slices by utilizing a local binary fitting level set method, so that three-dimensional segmentation is accurately and quickly completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of image processing, and relates to a carotid lumen image segmentation method, in particular to a three-dimensional image segmentation method based on superpixel random walk and local binary fitting level set. Background technique [0002] Image segmentation technology is an important research topic in the field of image processing, such as the segmentation of carotid artery image lumen applied in the medical field. This segmentation is an important step in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaque. An important basis for block segmentation and mechanical simulation analysis. [0003] It is very difficult to achieve fully automatic and accurate segmentation of the lumen, especially for carotid artery images of black blood techniques such as T1 images, T2 images, and proton density (PD) images. At present, some semi-automatic segmentation methods are mainly used in clinical and academic research. Semi-automat...
