Abstract

The present invention provides a method for segmenting tumor regions in CT images based on an imaging omics scoring feature map, which belongs to the field of image processing technology. The method includes extracting imaging group features of tumors and surrounding tissues in CT images; screening imaging omics features that can distinguish tumors and surrounding tissues based on the extracted imaging group features of tumors and surrounding tissues; constructing an imaging omics score based on the screened imaging omics features; establishing an imaging omics scoring feature map based on the constructed imaging omics score; generating a mask based on the established imaging omics scoring feature map, and automatically segmenting the tumor region of the CT image based on the generated mask. The present invention solves the problem that traditional manual segmentation methods often rely on the experience and subjective judgment of clinicians and have limitations in efficiency and accuracy.
