Abstract

The invention discloses a differential curvature-based liver surface smoothness measuring method, and mainly relates to a digital image processing technology. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps: (1) preprocessing a liver CT image by using a medical image window modulation algorithm to enhance the contrast of an abdominal liver area; (2) obtaining a segmentation result of the liver by using a deep network model; (3) obtaining the contour of the liver segmentation result by using an edge detection algorithm; (4) selecting a to-be-evaluated liver area by utilizing man-machine interaction to obtain a to-be-evaluated liver profile curve; and (5) measuring the smoothness of the liver shape by utilizing curvature calculation of the curve. The invention effectively quantifies the smoothness of the liver surface, achieves the accurate and objective measurement of the smoothness of the liver contour, and further assists a doctor in the quantitative evaluation of the liver function.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical image analysis, and specifically provides a method for measuring the smoothness of liver surface based on differential curvature. Background technique [0002] Liver lesions are sudden and have a high incidence. Currently, the incidence and mortality of liver cancer in China rank first in the world. Therefore, liver cancer is a serious threat to the life and health of our people. The analysis of abdominal medical images is the most effective and direct means of adjuvant treatment for liver diseases, and comprehensive medical image analysis is of great value to the treatment and prognosis of patients. There are usually several important indicators for evaluating liver function in patients with abdominal CT images, mainly involving liver volume, tumor volume, ratio of liver to spleen, and smoothness of liver. The image segmentation technology can be used to segment the liver, spleen, and liver tumors, and t...
