The invention provides a cervical
vertebra segmentation and key point detection method based on a
diffusion model, and relates to the technical field of medical
image processing, and the method carries out the denoising
processing of a cervical
vertebra image through the
diffusion model, improves the
image quality, and lays a foundation for the subsequent segmentation and key point detection. A cervical
vertebra region and key point positions can be accurately extracted by combining a model of a
deep learning technology, and reliable data support is provided for
bone age staging; the
bone age staging based on the results can objectively and quantitatively evaluate the growth and development degree of a patient and assist a doctor in making a personalized orthodontic treatment scheme, and in addition, in combination with a
stress distribution diagram generated by a
biomechanical model and a self-adaptive segmentation model of a preprocessed image, a segmentation strategy can be adjusted according to individual differences, so that the accuracy of
bone age staging is improved. The precision and the robustness are improved; meanwhile, parameters such as
blood flow velocity and temperature distribution are incorporated into a
machine learning model, new indexes are provided for cervical vertebra bone age staging, and the individuation and accuracy of evaluation are enhanced.
