Description

Cardiovascular OCT (optical coherence tomography) -based stent alignment method and device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical imaging, and particularly relates to a stent alignment method and device based on cardiovascular OCT.
Background
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that has rapidly developed in the last decade, and is a catheter-based imaging modality that uses light to interrogate the coronary artery walls and generate images. With coherent light, interference light and micro-optics, OCT can provide tomographic images of diseased cardiovascular with micron-scale resolution, particularly useful for minimally invasive imaging of internal tissues and organs.
Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease for short) is a disease with high mortality worldwide. At present, the treatment of coronary heart disease mainly adopts percutaneous coronary artery interventional therapy, namely, a stent is adopted to reconstruct blood vessels. Follow-up after stent implantation is an important way for doctors to evaluate the vascular response after coronary stent implantation. Clinical trials have been conducted to determine various vascular responses such as poor stent coverage, poor stent adherence, stent trabecular eminence, and delayed healing by comparing changes in the implanted stent with cardiovascular OCT at different times after stent implantation. In the process, image-level registration of the cardiovascular OCT image data acquired at different times of a specific blood vessel region is required, and alignment of the same stent at different times is realized, so that changes of the stent can be compared.
Given the OCT techniques and the complexity of each data set they produce, it is time consuming to perform registration of OCT images at different times, and some registration techniques rely heavily on user interaction, which is significant during registration making the operation complex, e.g. requiring manual matching of corresponding points in the images, making existing methods of stent alignment based on cardiovascular OCT images impractical in many clinical scenarios.
The invention aims to automatically register cardiovascular OCT images acquired at different times so as to realize automatic alignment of the same stent at different times, thereby enabling a user to directly compare data at the moment of stent implantation (hereinafter referred to as instant data) with data at follow-up (hereinafter referred to as follow-up data).

In the embodiment, in the process of stent detection, the probability that the OCT image contains a stent is detected through a bayesian network in a polar coordinate space, and some falsely detected stent points are removed through the step of minimum spanning tree algorithm, so that the accuracy of stent detection is improved through the combination of the bayesian network and the minimum spanning tree algorithm.
Example two:
referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an algorithm of a step of aligning a stent according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, in this embodiment, the S3 includes:
s31: respectively constructing a 3D model for the detected stent in the follow-up OCT image and the stent in the instant OCT image;
in the present embodiment, the process of constructing the 3D stent model in step S31 mainly depends on (in a polar coordinate system):

wherein z isstrutIs the z-axis value, z, of the scaffold in the 3D modelplaneIs the position of the longitudinal axis, thetastrutIs the angle of line A containing the stent in polar coordinates, DfThe a lines refer to all axial lines radiating outward from the center point of the blood vessel contour in the OCT image in cartesian coordinate space, corresponding to all vertical lines in the OCT image in polar coordinate, for the acquisition interval of two adjacent frames.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a 3D stent model diagram formed by an instant stent and a follow-up stent according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein solid dots represent the instant stent, hollow dots represent the follow-up stent, and the units of the three axes are all pixels. As can be seen, at this time, the 3D model of the instant stent and the 3D model of the follow-up stent are separately arranged in the 3D model space, and in order to be able to conveniently compare the structural difference between the instant stent and the follow-up stent, it is necessary to align the 3D models of the two stents, followed by step S32.
S32: matching corresponding stent points in the stent 3D model of the follow-up OCT image and the stent 3D model of the immediate OCT image and calculating the offset ER of the corresponding stent points;
in the present embodiment, step S32 includes:
using formulas

And accelerating search is carried out on corresponding stent points in the stent 3D model of the follow-up OCT image and the stent 3D model of the instant OCT image by using a Kd tree acceleration algorithm so as to reduce the time required for matching the stent points in the two groups of data.
S33: comparing the offset ER with a preset offset threshold, if the offset ER is smaller than the offset threshold, ending the matching process, and outputting a final rotation angle and a final translation parameter; if the offset ER is larger than the offset threshold, entering S34;
in one embodiment of step S33, the offset threshold is set to 10, and if the offset threshold is set too large, it means that the difference between the two 3D model stent points is allowed to increase, whereas if the offset threshold is set too small, it means that the difference between the two 3D model stent points is small. Because the follow-up stent is deformed relative to the immediate stent, the complete matching possibility of the immediate stent and the follow-up stent is low, and therefore the immediate stent and the follow-up stent are allowed to have a certain difference, so that the offset threshold value can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and is generally set to be 8-20 according to an empirical value.
