The invention discloses a method for identifying and
processing an artifact region in a
nuclear medicine imaging image, and relates to the technical field of medical
image registration. Comprising the following steps: S1, acquiring a PET dynamic
image sequence, a CT dual-
energy spectrum image and a respiratory movement monitoring
signal, and generating a registration quality map; s2, the PET dynamic
image sequence and the CT image are combined, statistical dependence between the PET dynamic
image sequence and the CT image is obtained, and a focus of an artifact area in the CT image is positioned or reconstructed and compensated; and S3, carrying out artifact reconstruction on the optimized CT image, and
processing a reconstructed artifact region through a double-
branch network model. According to the method, the
instantaneous phase of the
respiratory signal is extracted through Hilbert transform, the PET dynamic image sequence is grouped according to the
respiratory phase, accurate matching of same-phase frames can be achieved, meanwhile, the registration quality map is generated through the B-spline Demons
algorithm, and organ deformation artifacts caused by respiratory movement can be remarkably reduced.
