Abstract

The invention discloses a method for processing a cardiac perfusion magnetic resonance image. The method comprises the steps of: acquiring magnetic resonance images INT of a plurality of layers of slices including left ventricular myocardium; from the start layer, respectively segmenting the myocardial inner membrane of the magnetic resonance images of the N layers of slices within T heartbeat cycles to obtain a reference image Imr corresponding to each layer of slice; based on the reference image Imr, registering the magnetic resonance image of the current layer of slice within the T heartbeat cycles; based on the segmentation result of the myocardial inner membrane of the magnetic resonance image of each layer of slice, segmenting a myocardial outer membrane; calculating and smoothing a mean gray-time curve of a left ventricular cavity zone and a right ventricular cavity zone; and taking the connecting line of the centroid point of a blood pool zone defined by the myocardial inner membrane and the center point of a right ventricular boundary as a base line, blocking the myocardium according to a bovine eye graph partitioning method. The method can realize visual and full-automatic quantitative analysis on the signal intensity change curve of the left ventricular myocardium with time.

Description

[0001] 【Technical field】 [0002] The invention relates to the field of medical images, in particular to a post-processing method for cardiac perfusion magnetic resonance images. [0003] 【Background technique】 [0004] In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases are increasing year by year. Tens of millions of people die of cardiovascular disease every year all over the world. Myocardial ischemia is the most important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Cardiac perfusion magnetic resonance imaging is considered the first-line noninvasive test for ischemic heart disease. According to the basic principles of cardiac perfusion magnetic resonance images, radiologists can make a clinical diagnosis of myocardial ischemia by directly observing the changes in the signal intensity of the myocardial part of the left ventricle over time. However, deformation and motion artifacts in cardiac perfusion MR images caused by cardiac motion, respirati...
