The invention discloses a spherical space division-based coronary artery automatic segmentation and anatomic marking method. The method comprises the following steps of (1) performing image preprocessing: obtaining a coronary artery segmentation image and a central line; (2) performing a pruning operation; (3) defining a spherical center and a spherical space; (4) executing a division rule of left and right coronary arteries; (5) executing a left coronary artery anatomic naming algorithm; and (6) executing a right coronary artery anatomic naming algorithm. According to the method, a spherical coordinate system is established by taking a vessel divergence point as the spherical center through utilizing characteristics of a heart-shaped inverted cone, and the blood vessel is located and dissected in the spherical space according to anatomic shapes of branch segments of the coronary arteries and a geometric structure relationship among the anatomic shapes, so that the purposes of automatic segmentation and anatomic marking are achieved; the problems of relatively long calculation time, relatively high algorithm complexity and inaccurate branch matching caused by incapability of exhausting coronary artery distribution types in an existing coronary artery automatic segmentation and anatomic marking method are solved; and compared with a method for matching the extracted blood vessel with a prior model, the spherical space division-based coronary artery automatic segmentation and anatomic marking method has the advantages that the time is shortened, the marking is accurate, and more segments can be identified and marked.
