The invention discloses a multimode MRI (
Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
longitudinal data-based
brain tumor space-time coordinative segmentation method. The method comprises pre-operation segmentation
processing and post-operation segmentation
processing. The post-operation segmentation
processing comprises the processes of (1) obtaining
brain tumor post-operation MRI data; (2) mapping the
longitudinal data to a
time domain and a space domain for performing segmentation processing, wherein the
time domain segmentation comprises the processes of obtaining a pre-operation segmentation result and longitudinal to-be-segmented data, performing pre-operation and post-operation
image registration, and building a post-operation
tumor growth model; the space domain segmentation comprises the processes of constructing symmetric templates of different tissues of normal brain, extracting Haar structure features, obtaining an initial probability result by combining a structure
random forest method with an
AdaBoost framework, performing
label growth by utilizing a similar region growth
algorithm, and obtaining a space domain segmentation result; and (3) building a four-dimensional
graph model in combination with
time domain and space domain segmentation results, and optimizing obtained parameters to form an
automatic segmentation result. Therefore, the accuracy of
brain tumor region segmentation is improved.
