Problems solved by technology

In its image modality, the reflection image shows the structural information of the target. Compared with the B-ultrasound image, the imaging range has been greatly improved; in addition, the reflection image has noise and image artifacts similar to the B-ultrasound image and the imaging method itself brings new artifacts that can adversely affect image processing and image analysis

Embodiment 1

[0093] Include the following steps:

[0094] Step 1, acquire the image characteristics of the reflection image sequence as follows:

[0095] The image sequence is obtained by scanning with a medical ultrasonic tomography system based on a ring probe. The obtained reflection image has a certain degree of noise and artifacts due to factors such as equipment and imaging objects. The main artifacts include multiple reflections and radial artifacts in the middle of the image, such as figure 2 shown.

[0096] Step 2, draw the initial target convex hull, for example:

[0097] The operator selects the nodes of the convex hull unidirectionally outside the surface of the feature extraction target in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The nodes should be selected according to the curvature of the target surface as much as possible, and more nodes should be selected outside the surface with larger curvature.

[0098] After the nodes are selected, the adjacent nodes are connec...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of computer-aided diagnosis, medical image processing, ultrasonic tomography and medical image analysis, and particularly discloses an anti-artifact feature extraction method based on an ultrasonic tomography reflection image convex target, which comprises the following steps of: (1) drawing an initial convex hull aiming at the convex target in a mode of selecting nodes; (2) calculating a geometric gravity center O1 of a target representation pixel; (3) updating and iterating the nodes; and (4) fitting and shaping the nodes, wherein a region correspondingly surrounded by a contour line obtained by connecting the shaped new nodes is a corresponding image of the extracted convex target. According to the method, details such as the overall process design and iteration conditions of the method are improved, so that the anti-artifact feature extraction method based on the ultrasonic tomography reflection image convex target can be accurate and effective in feature extraction for the reflection image of medical ultrasonic tomography equipment, and the extraction efficiency is improved. And meanwhile, the method has good robustness for artifacts and noise.
