Problems solved by technology

The segmentation of pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein is of great significance to the detection of lung diseases. The segmentation of pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein in CT images is very difficult, because the dose of angiographic contrast agent and scanning time have a great influence on the results of angiography. Pulmonary vascular circulation is fast, and the angiographic results obtained by different doctors and equipment scans will have a relatively large difference in gray value. When the existing automatic segmentation method performs arteriovenous segmentation, it can only effectively segment on part of the data. , the segmentation accuracy on most of the data is low, and it is difficult to meet the needs of clinical applications

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to a lung artery and vein segmentation method and device for a CT image, a medium and electronic equipment, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the preprocessing of a chest CT image obtained in advance, and obtaining a lung region range in the chest CT image; performing multi-plane reconstruction based on the chest CT image, and performing segmentation through a threshold segmentation method in the reconstruction process to obtain a pulmonary blood vessel image; carrying out image segmentation on the pulmonary blood vessel image through a region growing method to obtain a pulmonary artery image and a to-be-segmented vein image which does not contain arteries; performing image segmentation on the vein image to be segmented through a region growing method to obtain a pulmonary vein image; and based on the lung region range, carrying out image segmentation on the pulmonary artery image and the pulmonary vein image to obtain the pulmonary artery image and the pulmonary vein image. According to the lung artery and vein segmentation method, the segmentation result is high in accuracy, and the clinical application requirement can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical image processing, and in particular relates to a method, device, medium and equipment for pulmonary artery and vein segmentation of CT images. Background technique [0002] Pulmonary blood vessels are an independent blood circulation system, the main function is to transport blood to the lungs or take blood away from the lungs, so as to complete the exchange of blood in the lungs. Pulmonary blood vessel segmentation has been obtained in the field of biomedical image processing. Extensively studied, however, distinguishing between the pulmonary artery tree and the pulmonary vein tree remains a challenge. The segmentation of pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein is of great significance to the detection of lung diseases. The segmentation of pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein in CT images is very difficult, because the dose of angiographic contrast agent and scanning time have a great influe...
