Problems solved by technology

However, after the injection of contrast agent, the blood vessels in CTA have the same high brightness as the calcified area, making it difficult to distinguish between the two, so it is difficult to calculate the calcium score in CTA

Abstract

The invention discloses a calcification score calculation method based on energy spectrum CT. The calcification score calculation method comprises the following steps: 1) a deep neural network model in a calcification region detection module determining position correlation between a calcification region and a cardiovascular system; 2) accurately positioning and segmenting the calcification region through a deep neural network module in the calcification region detection module; and 3) carrying out regression / calculation on a calcification area detection result of the calcification region detection module through a calcification integral regression module, calculating the score of each calcification position, training the output of the calcification position by using a gold standard in a training period, detecting a related calcium region by the trained calcification area detection module in a prediction process, and providing a corresponding probability / feature map to a score regression module so as to calculate the calcium score. According to the invention, the related calcification region and other regions around target blood vessels can be automatically distinguished, so that the work of manually identifying each related calcium region is eliminated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of calcification area detection, in particular to a method and device for calculating calcification fraction based on energy spectrum CT. Background technique [0002] Calcification score is a quantitative method to assess the degree of development of calcified plaque around blood vessels. There are many evaluation methods of calcification score in clinical practice, including Agatston score, volume score, and mass score, among which Agatston score is the most widely used as an effective plaque burden and cardiovascular disease risk assessment index. [0003] In traditional assessment methods, the Agatston scoring process is based on independent unenhanced CT images. Observers need to manually select voxels around blood vessels that are brighter than a predetermined threshold (>130 HU) as calcified voxels, and then calculate the calcium score based on the brightness and area of ​​the calcium region accor...
