The bearing calibration of the medical image metal artifacts of the present embodiment comprises:
Step 1, obtains segmentation threshold, splits to obtain metallic region according to described segmentation threshold to described medical image;
Step 2, carries out front projection to obtain the front projection data of described metallic region to described metallic region;
Step 3, the data for projection adopting the data for projection of non-metallic regions to upgrade described metallic region generates the data for projection after upgrading;
Step 4, carries out reconstruction acquisition first with the data for projection after described renewal and rebuilds image;
Step 5, rebuilds in image described first and recovers metallic region to obtain the second reconstruction image.
In above-mentioned steps, mainly obtain according to the gray-value variation trend in the non-immediate exposure area of medical image between metallic region and other regions in acquisition the present embodiment of segmentation threshold.This is because as shown in Figure 1, metal dots is in reconstruction image, and it is highlighted that gray scale shows, and gray-scale value is also Relatively centralized.Therefore in order to obtain described segmentation threshold more accurately, especially by the gray-value variation trend obtained with under type between described metallic region and other regions in the present embodiment.
Below with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 3, the process obtaining metallic region segmentation threshold is described in detail.Fig. 2 a is the first grey level histogram acquired according to the area-of-interest in the non-immediate exposure area of described medical image, and wherein horizontal ordinate is gray-scale value, and ordinate is pixel number.In the first grey level histogram, the corresponding at most gray-scale value of selected pixels point number is i; Only retain the part that gray-scale value is more than or equal to i, generate the second grey level histogram (with reference to figure 2b), obtain f (i) according to the reserve part formula 1 of the second grey level histogram again, generate with the corresponding relation between i and f (i) and reflect that gray-scale value is more than or equal to the area grayscale value overall variation trend map of i.
f ( i ) = h i s t o g r a m ( i ) h i s t s u m ( i + 1 ) / ( i max - i ) Formula
Wherein: histogram (i) is pixel number corresponding when gray-scale value is i, histsum (i+1) is not less than pixel number sum corresponding to the gray-scale value of i+1, i for gray-scale value maxfor maximum gradation value, the gray-scale value of i representative is not less than pixel number gray-scale value corresponding at most.
In formula 1: histsum (i+1)/(i max-i) be the gray-scale value mean pixel number larger than gray-scale value i, or perhaps the pixel number that the summation of pixel number corresponding to the gray-scale value larger than gray-scale value i is on average corresponding on each gray-scale value.Therefore the implication of formula 1 is pixel number that current grayvalue i is corresponding and the ratio of the gray-scale value mean pixel number larger than this gray-scale value i.Be highlighted because metal or calcification point show in gray scale, and gray-scale value is also Relatively centralized, therefore the upper and lower bound of metallic region segmentation threshold can be found by sudden change place (crest, trough) of this ratio, and then isolate calcification point.
Choose the upper limit (hereinafter referred to as Ta) of gray-scale value corresponding to minimum trough as segmentation threshold in figure 3; Choose the lower limit (hereinafter referred to as Tb) of gray-scale value corresponding to the highest crest as segmentation threshold.Optionally, described Ta and Tb not necessarily in Fig. 3 minimum trough and the highest crest corresponding gray-scale value, can be the arbitrary gray-scale value in the trough territory near trough and the crest territory near crest.As, Tb can be gray-scale value corresponding to 1/2 place between the gray area between the highest crest with the gray-scale value corresponding to minimum trough, or between the gray area between the highest crest with the gray-scale value corresponding to minimum trough near between the gray area of 1/4 of the highest crest place or 1/3 gray area between gray-scale value corresponding to place, Ta can be the gray-scale value that minimum trough is corresponding; Or Tb can be the gray-scale value that the highest crest is corresponding, Ta can be gray-scale value corresponding to 1/2 place between the gray area between the highest crest with the gray-scale value corresponding to minimum trough, or between the gray area between the highest crest with the gray-scale value corresponding to minimum trough near between the gray area of 1/4 of minimum trough place or 1/3 gray area between gray-scale value corresponding to place.In actual applications, also can come to determine more accurately by adjustment Ta and Tb the border of calcification point region.
In other embodiments, gray-value variation trend between described metallic region from other regions can be corresponding with the multiple gray-scale values larger than its gray-scale value according to the pixel number that gray-scale value different in described medical image is corresponding the ratio of mean pixel point number obtain, the mean pixel point number that described multiple gray-scale value is corresponding refers to the pixel number that the summation of the pixel number that multiple gray-scale value is corresponding is on average corresponding on each gray-scale value.
Fig. 4 is the iterative algorithm process flow diagram determining cut zone, below with reference to accompanying drawing 4 to utilizing Ta, Tb, determining that the process of metal/Ca point cut zone is described in detail.Described process obtains metal cut zone by carrying out iteration to the pixel being defined as metal cut zone.Selectively, also clustering procedure can be adopted.

S15: in nodes for research subset, the gray-scale value of all Seed Points pixel in its 3 × 3 × 3 neighborhood is higher than the pixel of Tb;
S16: the Seed Points comprised according to seed subset, judges whether the region that the Seed Points in this seed subset is formed is effective metal region, if then determine that the region that described seed subset is formed is metallic region, then gives up this seed subset if not., if this shape of region conforms that the set of Seed Points is formed just can think metallic region, if shape difference is comparatively large, be judged as non-metallic regions because common metal region can present specific shape, therefore, in the present embodiment particularly.
S17: the gray-scale value in all Seed Points 3 × 3 × 3 neighborhood searched in S15 is contrasted higher than the pixel in the pixel of Tb and the initial subset of S13, if the gray-scale value searched is identical higher than the Seed Points in the pixel of Tb and the seed subset of S13, namely new pixel is not had to produce, then return and perform S14, if the gray-scale value searched is different higher than the Seed Points in the pixel of Tb and the seed subset of S13, namely new pixel is had to produce, then return and perform S13, also return simultaneously and perform S18;
S18: be judged as finding out the pixel belonged in S11 in initial seed set in new pixel in S17, and delete this pixel in initial seed set.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, by finding new Seed Points in 3 × 3 × 3 neighborhoods of Seed Points, in other embodiments also can by finding in 2 × 2 × 2 neighborhoods of Seed Points, specifically in much neighborhoods of Seed Points, finding Seed Points can determine according to the actual requirements.

S21: the described metal/Ca point set obtained is defined as cut zone (metallic region);
S22: the pixel of the cut zone that S21 determines is marked;
S23: front projection is carried out to cut zone according to corresponding geometric parameter; The object of this step is that metallic region is mapped on the relevant position of projected image, and so-called projected image is the projected image obtained by detector before generating medical image.
S24: exceed the portion markings of detector regimes out in the result of front projection, and retain the data (only have during data reconstruction on the detector and can use) in detector regimes;
S25: to the metallic member mark on the data for projection of S24, and plate is touched in generation, is mainly used for marking metallic member.
By after carrying out front projection to metallic region in above-mentioned steps, need the data for projection being upgraded described metallic region by the data for projection of non-metallic regions, the data for projection of the non-metallic regions that the data for projection of described non-metallic regions is obtained by detector before referring to and generating described medical image.Particularly, in the following manner the data for projection of described metallic region is upgraded in the present embodiment.
(refer to before acquisition medical image according to pixel in metallic region at projected image, the projected image obtained by detector) in position to choose the pixel of its neighborhood, utilize the gray-scale value of the pixel of its neighborhood to carry out interpolation to upgrade the data for projection of metallic region to the pixel of metallic region.In actual renewal process, it is the data for projection being upgraded described metallic region by mode from outside to inside.The boundary member namely first upgrading metallic region then progressive updating to the inside of metallic region.
In the present embodiment, by judging that diverse location that metal pixel point is arranged in projected image selects the pixel number around metal pixel vertex neighborhood.In general, when the pixel of metallic region is positioned at 4 summits of projected image, the pixel of 3 non-metallic regions of its neighborhood can be selected to carry out interpolation; When the pixel of metallic region is positioned on 4 limits of projected image, the pixel of 5 non-metallic regions of its neighborhood can be selected to carry out interpolation; When the pixel of metallic region is positioned at other positions except above-mentioned two situations, 8 pixels of its neighborhood can be selected to carry out interpolation.Adopt the mode of averaging to carry out interpolation in the present embodiment, that is the gray-scale value of the pixel of metallic region is the mean value of the gray-scale value of the pixel of its neighborhood.
In practical application, to marked for the pixel of metal carry out interpolation time, the effective pixel points (pixel of non-metallic regions) of the neighborhood of pixel points of metallic region not necessarily meets above-mentioned situation, now for the pixel of the metallic region on 4 limits being positioned at projected image, as long as the effective pixel points meeting its neighborhood is more than or equal to 3 just can carry out by this effective pixel points the data for projection that interpolation upgrades this metal pixel point, as effective pixel points be 4 then with these 4 effective pixel points to upgrade the data for projection of metal pixel point; And be positioned at for the situation in the middle of projected image for the pixel of metallic region, as long as the effective pixel points meeting its neighborhood is more than or equal to 4 just can carry out by this effective pixel points the data for projection that interpolation upgrades this metal pixel point.When adopting the data for projection of computer program to the pixel of metallic region to upgrade, can be undertaken by the mode of circulation, set up and circulate and the condition circulating and carry out is set, when the pixel of metallic region is positioned at the summit of projected image, its neighborhood effective pixel points number is not less than 3, when the pixel of metallic region is positioned on the limit of projected image, its neighborhood effective pixel points number is not less than 3, just interpolation is carried out when its neighborhood effective pixel points number is not less than 4 when the pixel of metallic region is positioned in the middle of projected image, otherwise skip this pixel, first other pixel is operated, the end loop when all pixels being labeled as metallic region all complete respective handling Output rusults.
The above-mentioned mode for the mean value being got effective pixel points by neighbor interpolation have updated the data for projection of metallic region, and the data for projection to metallic region such as bilinear interpolation, cubic spline interpolation can also be adopted in other embodiments to upgrade.
Carry out reconstruction acquisition first with the data for projection of the data for projection of the metallic region after the renewal obtained in above-mentioned steps and described non-metallic regions and rebuild image; Be equivalent to metallic region to remove due in the data that this is rebuild, therefore this is rebuild in the first reconstruction image obtained and can not there is metal artifacts.Because this rebuilds the information that there is not metallic region in the first reconstruction image obtained, therefore, also need to rebuild in image first to recover original metallic region, particularly, the metal/Ca point (metallic region) be partitioned into is put back to the position at its place in the first reconstruction image, generate the second reconstruction image removing pseudo-movie queen.
