The invention belongs to the medical
image processing technical field and provides a method for extracting cardiovascular vessels from CTA (
computed tomography angiography) images, a device for extracting cardiovascular vessels from CTA images, an apparatus for extracting cardiovascular vessels from CTA images and a storage medium. The method includes the following steps that:
etching operation and expansion operation are sequentially performed on image data by using preset structural elements, so that a structural template is obtained; layer-by-layer transformation is performed on the sectional images of the structural template, so that a first
ascending aorta structure in the structural template can be obtained,
aorta center coordinates and an
aorta radius are obtained from the last sectional
image layer of the structural template; and a binary sphere structure is built according to the
aorta center coordinates and the aorta
radius, and the first
ascending aorta structure is combined with the structural template and the binary sphere structure, so that a second
ascending aorta structure can be obtained through combination. With the method, device, apparatus and storage medium of the invention adopted, ascending aortas and the shapes of aortic sinuses at the roots of the ascending aortas can be extracted, and therefore, the structures and shapes of the aortas can be accurately visualized, and the solving level and capability of medical image research on clinical problems can be improved.
