Abstract

The present application proposes an image processing method and device for sarcopenia assessment based on CT images. The method includes: obtaining a segmented muscle mask from a lumbar CT image, calculating a skeletal muscle index based on the muscle mask and basic patient information, The sarcopenia grade was determined by comparing the skeletal muscle index with a preset threshold. The invention can be used to assist medical staff to obtain the muscle mask of the L3 vertebral body in the CT image, and automatically evaluate the sarcopenia level based on the muscle mask. Compared with the existing manual evaluation methods, the evaluation speed and efficiency are greatly accelerated, and real-time monitoring and early warning of clinical sarcopenia can be realized by accessing the clinical information system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image processing, and in particular, to an image processing method and device based on CT image sarcopenia assessment. Background technique [0002] With age, there is a progressive and systemic decline in skeletal muscle, including muscle mass and strength, accompanied by a decline in physiological function, a process known as sarcopenia. It is closely related to the aging of the body, and a variety of chronic diseases or malignant tumors can also lead to the occurrence of this disease after surgery. The disease is often closely related to the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures, which seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. [0003] The assessment methods for sarcopenia in the related art mainly rely on the measurement of muscle mass, including DXA, BIA, CT, MRI, and anthropometric methods. Among them, computed tomography (CT) can obtain the muscle mass of a specific part of th...
