The invention discloses a method and a
system for analyzing body components based on
abdominal CT (
computed tomography) scanning, which effectively solve the problem of spine
confusion caused by highly similar structures of adjacent vertebral bodies by introducing a local anatomical marker on an image, and do not need to depend on a large
data set to perform remote
vertebral body context learning, thereby reducing the data demand and improving the accuracy of the data. And the reliability of spine segmentation is improved. According to the method, a two-stage segmentation strategy is adopted, spine segmentation and
body composition segmentation are optimized respectively, the independence and precision of each segmentation task are guaranteed, the strategy can effectively improve the segmentation accuracy, and compared with an existing method, centrum
confusion is reduced, and the consistency of measurement results is improved. According to the method, three-dimensional
volume measurement of
muscle,
subcutaneous fat and
visceral fat is realized, and compared with a single-slice or multi-slice two-dimensional area
inference method,
tissue distribution in a whole spine range can be reflected more comprehensively and accurately, so that the
volume measurement error is remarkably reduced, and the reference of data is improved.
