Right high-brightness region acquiring unit, a brightness for choosing the right margin point in horizontal grouping line by line are more than brightness The point of threshold value obtains the high-brightness region close to profile right margin as seed point, with region growth method, until being owned Close to the right high-brightness region RR of profile right margin;
Upper high-brightness region acquiring unit, a brightness for choosing the coboundary point in horizontal grouping line by line are more than brightness The point of threshold value obtains the high-brightness region close to profile coboundary as seed point, with region growth method, until being owned Upper high-brightness region RT close to profile coboundary;
Lower high-brightness region acquiring unit, a brightness for choosing the lower boundary point in horizontal grouping line by line are more than brightness The point of threshold value obtains the high-brightness region close to profile lower boundary as seed point, with region growth method, until being owned Close to the lower high-brightness region RB of profile lower boundary;
A high brightness point close to horizontal grouping middle left and right, up or down boundary is chosen in center row as seed point, Left and right, up or down boundary the high-brightness region close to profile is obtained with region growth method, if the region meets all the points all Close to left and right, up or down boundary, i.e. distance D<Td, wherein Td are specified threshold, then it is assumed that the region is peripheral scalp highlight bar Domain marks the region.
4. the background suppression system of MRA brain image datas according to claim 3, which is characterized in that the reconstruction module tool Body includes:
Template acquiring unit, for according to the left high-brightness region RL of acquisition, right high-brightness region RR, upper high-brightness region RT and Lower high-brightness region RB creates an image masterplate T;Wherein, T=RL ∪ RR ∪ RT ∪ RB;
It scratches and removes unit, removing, obtaining for will be scratched with image template T corresponding datas in original MRA brain image datas according to image masterplate T To second processing MRA brain images;
MIP processing units obtain blood-vessel image for carrying out MIP three-dimensional reconstruction processing to second processing MRA brain images.
