Embodiment 1

[0037] The method for automatically segmenting brain tumor images based on convolutional neural networks in the present invention includes multimodal MRI images of brain tumors, and further includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 1. Acquire multimodal MRI images of brain tumors and perform image preprocessing to obtain an original image set;

[0039] Step 2. Construct a framework for brain tumor segmentation based on multimodal MRI images; the framework includes module one and module two, and module one includes 3D convolutional neural network, residual unit and transposed convolution as the basis to form a parallel The deep deconvolution neural network is used to output the contour map of the brain tumor segmentation image; the second module includes adding a skip structure on the basis of the deep deconvolution neural network structure in the module one, which is used to output the lesion region segmentation of the brain tumor image picture;

Embodiment 2

[0048] This embodiment makes the following further limitations on the basis of Embodiment 1: in the step 1, the multimodal MRI images are four kinds of modality images Flair, T1, T2, T1C, and the two modes of Flair and T2 N4ITK is used to correct the bias field of the images in the different modalities, and adjust the contrast of the images in the T1C and T1 modalities. Grayscale normalization of images between different individuals: first subtract the mean value of the entire image and divide by the standard deviation of the brain region, adjust the pixel values ​​​​of all images to the [-5, 5] interval, and normalize the entire image Normalized to [0, 1], non-brain regions are set to 0. Finally, translation transformation, twist enhancement and elastic deformation are performed on the preprocessed data. The detailed process is as follows: firstly, multimodal MRI images of brain tumors need to be acquired. In this method, only four modal images of Flair, T1, T2, and T1C are ...
