Breast nodule calcification analysis device

Abstract

The invention relates to a mammary nodule calcification analysis device. The mammary nodule calcification analysis device comprises an image acquisition module which is used for acquiring an ultrasonic image with a mammary nodule; a nodule-of-interest image extraction module used for intercepting the breast nodule boundary of the ultrasonic image by selecting a plurality of coordinate points of interest to obtain a nodule-of-interest image; a calcification recognition module used for recognizing calcification points in the nodule image of interest through a Bayesian optimization algorithm to obtain an image Icals_grow; a calcification shadow descriptor construction module used for constructing a calcification shadow descriptor according to a calcification point in the image Icals_grow; a calcification geometric descriptor construction module used for constructing a calcification geometric descriptor according to a calcification point in the image Icals_grow; and a coarse calcification and micro calcification extraction module used for classifying calcification points in the image Icals_grow into coarse calcification or micro calcification by the calcification shadow descriptor and the calcification geometric descriptor. The calcification point can be effectively analyzed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of auxiliary medical diagnosis, in particular to a breast nodule calcification analysis device. Background technique [0002] Today, with the increasing demand for rapid and accurate diagnosis and the shortage of clinical personnel, computer analysis methods have been increasingly used to support routine clinical diagnosis and have shown good results. [0003] Breast cancer is expected to become the second most deadly cancer in women in recent years, with a mortality rate of 15%. These statistics show that a breast cancer diagnosis is critical to improving life expectancy, especially for women. As a commonly used clinical tool, ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive, radiation-free, and low-cost technique for cancer diagnosis. However, identifying breast lesions and detecting signs of cancer from ultrasound is a challenging task due to low image quality. [0004] The growth and progression of a malignant tu...
