The present invention discloses a medical
image segmentation algorithm used in a CT room. The segmentation steps of the
algorithm are that: firstly, a CT image is segmented into different small areas via a
watershed algorithm, then an average gray value of the small areas is mapped to a high dimension
characteristic space according to a KFCM algorithm and by utilizing a Mercer kernel, so that the original characteristics which are not displayed in a
watershed algorithm segmentation image are displayed. The algorithm comprises the following steps of (1) pre-
processing an image, and carrying out the median filtering; (2) carrying out the
watershed segmentation on the pre-processed image, and storing the
label k of each small area; (3) calculating the average gray value x<k> of each area, wherein the average gray value x<k> represents a sample set of an input space, k =1, 2, ..., n, n is the area number formed after the image watershed segmentation; (4) selecting a classification number C, a threshold value epsilon and a fuzzy exponent m; (5) calculating a clustering center and
a weighting matrix. The medical
image segmentation algorithm used in the CT room utilizes the advantages of the watershed algorithm and the weighted
kernel clustering, also greatly overcomes the disadvantages of the two algorithms.
