Embodiment
First the present invention carries out stretch processing to full group medical image MRI source figure, matches to make each pixel and FDTD grid.Then, all MRI source figure carried out stacking and carries out interpolation processing in the direction perpendicular to figure, making each pixel in vertical direction and FDTD Grid Align.Secondly, Boundary Recognition is carried out to the xsect after each interpolation, finds out the border between internal mammary and air.Again, discrete division is organized to internal mammary, according to gray-scale value, breast is divided into different tissue class, and adds skin layer along breast border.Finally different tissues is numbered and electrology characteristic assignment, model can be applied in FDTD Electromagnetic Simulation model.Concrete steps are as follows:
1. source figure stretch processing
The T1 source figure that hospital provides is resolution 512x512 substantially, i.e. total 512x512 pixel.Here each pixel, we are thought of as a grid.The actual size of every pictures representative is by the actual size represented by the single pixel of decision.Be illustrated in figure 1 certain MRI image of patient A, engineer's scale in figure pixel shared by above-below direction is 256 points, these 256 pixels represent the length of real 15cm, so can know that whole Figure 51 2x512 pixel just represents the length of real 30x30cm.Therefore if do not carry out any adjustment to picture, so each pixel of original graph represents the sizing grid of 0.586x0.586mm (300mm/512).But, under normal circumstances, the grid of 0.5x0.5mm is used in Fdtd Method (FDTD) algorithm, therefore, when carrying out model derivation, first stretch processing is carried out to source figure, the grid of the corresponding 0.5x0.5mm of each pixel after making it stretch, for patient as shown in Figure 1, need picture to be stretched as 600x600 pixel, the size of corresponding 30x30cm.This step adopts bicubic (bicubic) picture interpolation method to realize, and the method is consuming time the longest, but the picture degree of distortion after stretching is smaller.
2. the stacking interpolation of source figure
The MRI striograph of each patient is formed by one group of section of multiple diverse locations, to reflect the inner case of breast diverse location.In order to set up breast three-dimensional model, need to process to reduce to these sections the information of other positions of breast here.First cut into slices the stretch processing carried out in first step to adapt to FDTD grid to all MRI, such as patient A has 24 MRI source slice maps, is stretched as 600X600.Next be stacked up in order by the picture after stretching, as shown in Figure 2, will obtain the voxel point array of a 600X600X24, third dimension data are corresponding with breast cuts into slices perpendicular direction.According to the slice location information in the figure of MRI source, known spacing of often opening between section is approximately 5mm, each pixel therefore in the third dimension is corresponding 5mm.But three-dimensional FDTD grid is chosen for 0.5mmx0.5mmx0.5mm usually, therefore need to carry out interpolation processing to meet grid requirement to section stacking direction.
In this step, first as shown in Figure 2 sagittal plane intercepting is carried out to the voxel of heap poststack, more successively each sagittal figure is carried out interpolation stretch processing to mate FDTD grid.Fig. 3 is the image after the intercepting of an example, and this figure is the sagittal profile diagram of breast, and the pixel of this figure is 600x24, and each pixel of vertical direction represents 5mm.In order to mate conventional FDTD grid, being carried out bicubic interpolation process, being stretched as 600x240 pixel here, each like this pixel represents the grid of 0.5mmx0.5mm.Fig. 4 is the sagittal figure after interpolation.Sagittal plane sectional drawing after interpolation is combined, just obtains a complete corresponding FDTD grid array of pixels, the grid of the corresponding 0.5mmx0.5mmx0.5mm of each pixel.The array obtaining a 600x600x240 in this instance.
3. breast Boundary Recognition
For completing steps 1, each xsect of the breast array after 2 interpolation, all carries out the operation of a Boundary Recognition, to tell inside and the air of breast.If exemplified by Fig. 5, this figure is some xsects.Before carrying out Boundary Recognition, first image two divisional processing is carried out to this figure.For the pixel of all 600x600, with fatty tissue of breast's gray-scale value for boundary value, part assignment gray-scale value being greater than this value is 255, is white; Part assignment gray-scale value being less than this value is 0, is black.Effect after two divisional processing as shown in Figure 6, is desired to make money or profit to process with canny Boundary Recognition algorithm for this, can obtain a boundary graph, as shown in Figure 7.The frontier point that canny algorithm now identifies has a lot, but only needs to obtain outermost internal mammary and air interface, and therefore next step will outermost Boundary Extraction out, as shown in Figure 8.Finally, a Boundary Recognition is all carried out to all xsects, so just obtains the circumference of breast model.
4. the discrete division of breast tissue
This step is the committed step that model is derived.Namely the pixel of gray-scale value in certain threshold value, at internal mammary, is all classified as a certain medium by principle here, and is unified assignment for certain particular value is to carry out mark display.In the present invention, altogether set four kinds of normal tissue class, be respectively: fat 1, fat 2, body of gland 1 and body of gland 2, the fat that corresponding specific inductive capacity is lower and higher and body of gland.Gray-scale value corresponding to organizing four kinds is set as: 255-120,119-90,89-60 and 59-30.After discrete processes, breast model as shown in Figure 9.Next one deck skin will be added at breast boundary, Adding Way is the breast contours (for Fig. 8) identified in the 3rd step, centered by each profile frontier point, the pixel region of the 3x3 around it is set as skin, as shown in Figure 10.Due to the gray-scale value of thoracic cavity and the gray-scale value of breast tissue similar, some thoracic cavity part has been classified as breast tissue, therefore needs to identify border, thoracic cavity.Repeat the process being similar to breast Boundary Extraction, identify border, thoracic cavity, and the part within border is all set as thoracic cavity.
5. breast model is set up and is imported
Different tissues same numbering is marked, and gives corresponding electrical characteristics values to when importing FDTD realistic model often kind of tissue.
Table 1 is the organization number of an example and organizes electrology characteristic correspondence table.
The electrical characteristics values of different tissues in table 1 breast model
Carry out assignment according to upper table to breast model, Figure 11 is the part that breast model intercepts, the organization number that wherein different colours is corresponding different.Figure 12 is after manually adding a tumour, the electrology characteristic figure of this breast model.Through above 5 steps, just establish a complete breast Electromagnetic Simulation model.
