Abstract

The invention discloses a method for fully automatic segmentation of coronary calcification lesions based on plain CT of the chest, comprising the following steps: performing preprocessing on the original plain CT image of the chest to obtain preprocessed data; In this method, the heart region in the original chest plain scan CT image is segmented to obtain a heart segmentation image corresponding to the original chest plain scan CT image containing the heart region; the suspected coronary artery calcification is screened in the heart region; Extract multiple candidate sample blocks from arterial calcifications; and based on the multiple candidate sample blocks and their corresponding coordinates in the coordinate system corresponding to the original chest CT image, use the calcification focus segmentation model to obtain the coronary artery calcifications of the candidate sample blocks Split results. The method of the present invention adopts a coarse-to-fine strategy, and uses a two-stage deep neural network to realize the automatic segmentation of coronary artery calcification based on chest plain scan CT, and can also obtain good segmentation results for data with relatively high noise.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical image segmentation, in particular to a method for fully automatic segmentation of coronary artery calcification based on chest plain CT scan. Background technique [0002] At present, the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease are still on the rise, and its mortality rate still ranks first. However, the elderly with cardiovascular disease have weakened immune function and are more likely to be infected with other diseases and turn into critically ill patients. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to realize the early diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Sufficient evidence-based medical evidence supports that coronary artery calcification is an independent risk factor for adverse cardiac events in asymptomatic patients. [0003] Quantitative analysis of coronary artery calcification (CAC, Coronary Artery Calcium) can evaluate the possibility of cardiovascular disease. Cardi...
