Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the existing technology has the following disadvantages: in the current automatic delineation technology based on deep neural network, in order to achieve the optimal delineation model, it is often necessary to invest a large amount of training data in the early stage, which will increase the pre-work due to the training model. The time cost and equipment cost. In addition, the actual medical image data containing delineated labels is very rare and expensive, and most of them are unlabeled CT images. Therefore, training a usable model requires preparing a large amount of label data in the early stage. Therefore, it will consume a lot of labor cost and sketching cost in the sketching stage

Embodiment 1

[0049] like figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic segmentation method based on self-supervised learning radiotherapy targets, including the following steps:

[0050] Step 1. Data Preparation: Collect the original CT data, divide the label data set and the label data set, and select the label data set;

[0051] Step 2, the feature extraction: According to the characteristics of CT data, the pre-training network based on self-supervision learning is built, and the non-label data set is input to the pre-training network for iterative training, select the optimal pre-training model;

[0052] Step 3: Segmentation Model Generation: According to the split task, the division network is built, and the training self-supervised pre-training model will be loaded into the split network, and then the label data set input split network will be used to select the optimal model, and finally Model segmentation performance tests and evaluates.

[0053] In step 1, the present inven...

Embodiment 2

[0058] This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of Example 1, and the specific is:

[0059] In step 2, the feature extraction is primarily based on the pre-learning task, and the pre-training model is generated, and the pre-learning task is mainly used as a label by using the features you bring to the data itself, in this way, network design and training. The CT images generated in the same scan are continuous, so there is a characteristic similarity between any two CT images of the same scan. Considering that the CT scanner comes with a plurality of information labels, including the coordinate information of the CT image, indicating the scanning position of the CT image, such as figure 2 As shown in which it can be seen that there is a "relative distance" between the two CT images according to the coordinate z directed toward the head. Therefore, the depth nerve can extract the image characteristics of the CT by learning such a "relative distance" between the CT images. ...

Embodiment 3

[0071] This embodiment has been further optimized on the basis of Example 1 or 2, and the specific is:

[0072] In step 3, the pre-training model is obtained after the feature extraction is completed, and the pre-training model carries shallow image features with CT data. This step will be based on the pre-training model, carry a small amount of data input split network containing the split tag. Training can get a split model, the specific steps are as follows:

[0073] Step 3A, the split network is constructed: the split model network is designed based on the depth neural network, including the encoder, random multi-scale module, and decoder three parts; wherein the split model network encoder unit and the encoder of the pre-learning network Consistent, the main structure is as follows Figure 4 Down:

[0074] Step 3B, the pre-learning model is loaded: because the encoder structure of the pre-learning network is consistent because the encoder structure of the pre-learning network ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a radiotherapy target area automatic segmentation method based on self-supervised learning, which relates to the technical field of image processing, including: 1) data preparation: collecting original CT data, separating labeled data sets and unlabeled data sets, and 2) Feature extraction: construct a pre-training network based on self-supervised learning, input the unlabeled data set into the pre-training network for iterative training, and select the optimal pre-training model; 3) Segmentation model generation: Build a segmentation network, load the trained self-supervised pre-training model into the segmentation network, then input the labeled data set into the segmentation network for iterative training to select the optimal model, and finally test and evaluate the segmentation performance of the model. The present invention uses the coordinate labels that come with the CT data to perform self-supervised task pre-training without additionally designing new labels; the pre-training model contains shallow features of CT images, so it has a faster convergence speed when performing segmentation tasks.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of image processing techniques, and more particularly to the technical field of automatic segmentation method based on self-monitoring learning. Background technique [0002] Radiation treatment (referred to as radiotherapy) is one of the important means of treating malignant tumors, which is mainly achieved by performing a certain amount of radiation irradiation to the tumor site. Modern radiotherapy includes a series of normative processes, which include targets, planning, plan implementation, and reverse optimization. Among them, the target area is mainly composed of the physical division of the CT image data and the overtakes of the organ, usually the time is large, and the human outline will often bring the results of the outline of the outline of the habit. difference. [0003] In order to reduce the time cost of taking the task in the radiotherapy process, and further reduce the impact of human hook habits t...
