Abstract

The present invention provides a blood vessel segmentation method and device. The method comprises: inputting a CTA image into a first convolutional network to perform blood vessel pre-segmentation based on multi-scale feature extraction; constructing a blood vessel distribution map; inputting the CTA image into a second convolutional network, and multiplying the output of the second convolutional network with the input CTA image and inputting it into a third convolutional network; the third convolutional network and the graph convolutional network perform feature interaction based on bidirectional mapping, perform global feature modeling based on the blood vessel distribution map to capture multi-scale local and global features, and achieve blood vessel region prediction; and predict blood vessel segmentation results by fusing multi-scale features. The present invention performs blood vessel segmentation based on cross-network multi-scale feature fusion and local feature and global feature fusion. Compared with the prior art that performs blood vessel segmentation based on local features, the present invention can effectively avoid the model predicting segmented areas that do not conform to the blood vessel structure, thereby improving the accuracy of blood vessel segmentation.
