Integration of medical imaging devices is a trend in the development of medical imaging today. Taking a PET/CT device as an example, a PET image and a CT image of a patient can be simultaneously delivered to a physician. In addition, the PET image and the CT image of the patient can be fused together to generate a PET-CT fused image, which is convenient for the clinical diagnosis of doctors, and the precondition of the clinical diagnosis of doctors is that: the imaging of the multi-modality medical imaging equipment is accurately overlapped, namely a PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) equipment carries out PET imaging and CT imaging on the same object to obtain a PET image and a CT image which are overlapped as much as possible, so that the multi-modality medical imaging equipment has clinical diagnosis significance. Therefore, how to propose a simple and feasible method capable of detecting the registration state of the multi-modal medical images has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a method and an apparatus for detecting a multi-modal medical image registration state. It should be noted that the images obtained by the multi-modality medical imaging apparatus can be regarded as being obtained by the scanned object under the field-of-view coordinate system of the apparatus, and the apparatus is in an ideal state of center alignment (without considering the deformation of the bed plate), and the spatial positions of the scanned object reflected by the images obtained by scanning under different modalities should be completely coincident. In view of this, the present application may obtain images of the scanned object in different modalities by scanning the scanned object, and then obtain the image registration state of the device according to the spatial position matching degree of the images of the scanned object in different modalities.
Based on the above principle, in one possible implementation manner, the present application proposes a tree-shaped support device as a scanned object, so that a multi-modal medical imaging apparatus scans the tree-shaped support device, and analyzes an image registration state of the apparatus according to images of the tree-shaped support device in different modalities of the apparatus.
First, a tree support device proposed in the present application will be described.
The application provides a tree strutting arrangement includes:
at least one vertical supporting rod and at least one horizontal supporting rod, every vertical supporting rod can dismantle or fixed connection with at least one horizontal supporting rod. For easy understanding, fig. 1 is taken as an example to describe the tree-shaped supporting device provided by the present application, in fig. 1, the vertical supporting rod is detachably connected to the horizontal supporting rod, and the tree-shaped supporting device shown in fig. 1 includes: a vertical support bar 1, four first horizontal bracing pieces 2 and a second horizontal bracing piece 3, wherein, the length of first horizontal bracing piece 2 is less than the length of second horizontal bracing piece 3, and two first horizontal bracing pieces 2 are installed on the upper portion of this vertical support bar 1, and the middle part at this vertical support bar 1 is installed to second horizontal bracing piece 3, and the lower part at this vertical support bar 1 is installed to two first horizontal bracing pieces 2. Because the installation parts of the vertical support rods 1 and the transverse support rods 2 in the embodiment are detachable, the subsequent disassembly and assembly are facilitated.
One ends of two first transverse supporting rods 2 at the upper part of the vertical supporting rod 1 are respectively vertically arranged at two sides of the vertical supporting rod 1 with different heights and are parallel to each other; the middle part of the second transverse supporting rod 3 is vertically arranged on the vertical supporting rod 1 and is mutually vertical to the two first transverse supporting rods 2 at the upper part of the vertical supporting rod 1; one end of two first horizontal supporting rods 2 at the lower part of the vertical supporting rod 1 is respectively vertically arranged at two sides of the vertical supporting rod 1 with different heights, is parallel to each other and is perpendicular to the second horizontal supporting rod 3, and the two first horizontal supporting rods 2 at the upper part and the two first horizontal supporting rods 2 at the lower part are in the same plane.
In this embodiment, vertical support rod 1 and horizontal bracing piece 2, 3 all adopt detachable connected mode to be connected, and vertical support rod further has the telescopic structure, and consequently vertical support rod's in this embodiment height is adjustable, can match different height of measurement, and the practicality is stronger. In addition, it should be noted that fig. 1 in this embodiment only shows one combination and connection manner of the vertical support rod and the horizontal support rod, but is not limited to the above connection manner, and the combination and connection manner of the vertical support rod and the horizontal support rod in this embodiment is not limited, and any possible combination and connection manner may be applied to this embodiment.
As can be seen from the above embodiments, the tree-shaped support device provided by this embodiment occupies a smaller space volume, and therefore, the attenuation of γ rays can be reduced; in addition, the device does not limit the placing position of the space marker, namely the placing position of the space marker can be set according to requirements, so that the device can adapt to different test scenes and has strong practicability; in a preferred embodiment, the apparatus can also disperse the spatial markers as much as possible within the field of view of the multi-modality medical imaging device, making the measurement more accurate.
Considering that in practical application, the bed board may have a certain deformation, therefore, it is preferable to use a lighter-weight tree-shaped support device as the scanned object when performing detection, and in addition, in order to reduce the probability of scattering and attenuating gamma rays by the object, the density of the tree-shaped support device cannot be too high, and the volume of the tree-shaped support device cannot be too large.
In another embodiment of the present application, at least one end of the lateral support bar is provided with a spatial marker having radioactivity. In addition, the spatial markers in this embodiment also need to have a certain density in order to be distinguished from air. The position of the spatial marker in the embodiment can be set according to actual needs so as to adapt to the visual field of the multi-modal medical imaging equipment, for example, the spatial marker is arranged at the positions of the transverse supporting rod in the up-down direction, the left-right direction and the front-back direction, so that the spatial test layout is convenient; in addition, in order to prevent the spatial marker from moving and affecting the measurement result, the pressing plate may be selected to fix the spatial marker, and in practical application, glue or a rubber band may be used instead of the pressing plate, which is not limited in this embodiment.
For the convenience of understanding, the use of the tree-shaped supporting device proposed in the present application is further described with reference to fig. 2, which is a diagram that a plurality of spatial markers 4 (only 6 spatial markers are shown in fig. 2, and in practical applications, the number of spatial markers can be freely set) are mounted on the first transverse supporting rod 2 and the second transverse supporting rod 3 of the tree-shaped supporting device shown in fig. 1, and in practical use, the tree-shaped supporting device shown in fig. 2 can be respectively placed in each modality of the multi-modality medical imaging apparatuses for scanning.
After the above tree-shaped support device is introduced, a method for detecting a multi-modal medical image registration state by means of the above tree-shaped support device with a plurality of spatial markers installed therein provided by the present application is introduced next.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a multi-modality medical image registration state detection method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, applied to a multi-modality medical imaging apparatus that scans any one of the tree-shaped support devices with multiple spatial markers installed thereon, where the method may include:
in step 301, the tree-shaped supporting device is scanned in different modalities of the multi-modality medical imaging apparatus, so as to obtain images of the tree-shaped supporting device in different modalities.
For convenience of understanding, taking the PET/CT apparatus as an example, and referring to fig. 4(a) and 4(b), step 301 is described, in which the tree-shaped support device with the plurality of spatial markers mounted thereon is moved into the CT field of the PET/CT apparatus to acquire a CT image, and the tree-shaped support device with the plurality of spatial markers mounted thereon is moved into the PET field of the PET/CT apparatus to acquire a PET image.
It should be noted that, in order to avoid inaccurate measurement results, when the spatial markers are placed on the tree-shaped support device, it is necessary to ensure that the spatial markers on the tree-shaped support device fall within the CT field of view and the PET field of view of the PET/CT apparatus.
In step 302, it is determined whether the spatial marker images are in a superimposed state in different modalities according to the spatial coordinate information of the image coordinate systems of the spatial markers in the different modalities.
It can be understood that, knowing the coordinates of several points in two coordinate systems, the translation and rotation relationship of the two coordinate systems can be found according to the transformation matrix of the coordinate systems. Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present application, the determining the overlapping state of the images may be based on a translation and rotation relationship between two coordinate systems, as shown in fig. 5, and the step 302 may include:
in step 302a, a three-dimensional translational deviation and an angular deviation from an image coordinate system of a spatial marker image in a first modality to an image coordinate system of a spatial marker image in a second modality are calculated according to spatial coordinate information of the image coordinate systems of the spatial markers in different modalities.
Still taking the PET/CT apparatus as an example, the present embodiment will be described, and the present embodiment may be based on the relational expression between the PET image coordinate system and the CT image coordinate system:
wherein (x)CT,yCT,zCT) Is the three-dimensional coordinate of the spatial marker in the CT image, (x)PT,yPT,zPT) Is the three-dimensional coordinate, T, of a spatial marker in a PET imagex、Ty、TzX, y, z translation deviations, theta, from the PET image coordinate system to the CT image coordinate system, respectivelyx、θy、θzThe angular deviations around x, y and z from the PET image coordinate system to the CT image coordinate system respectively;
since when theta is equal toxVery small, there is sin θx≈θx,cosθx≈1,θy、θzSimilarly, therefore when θx、θy、θzWhen the values are all very small, the above relation (1) can be simplified approximately to obtain the following relation:
further, let
The above equation (3) is converted into an optimal solution for solving the following relation according to the least square method:
wherein,are respectively Tx、Ty、Tz、θx、θy、θz(T) conjugationx,Ty,Tzxyz)∈R6Representing a six-dimensional space vector, FTA transposed matrix that is F;
the above relation (4) is converted to solve the following linear equation system:
wherein,as the barycentric coordinates of the spatial marker i in the PET image, (x)CTi,yCTi,zCTi) The barycentric coordinates of the spatial markers i in the CT image are shown, N is the total number of spatial markers installed on the tree-shaped supporting device, and i is 1 … N.
In this step, the relationship (5) can be followed
Calculating x, y and z translation deviation T from PET image coordinate system to CT image coordinate systemx、Ty、TzAnd angular deviation theta around x, y, zx、θy、θz
In step 302b, it is determined whether the three-dimensional translational deviation and the angular deviation are both within a preset parameter interval, and if both are within the preset parameter interval, the spatial marker images are in a superposition state in different modalities.
Still taking PET/CT equipment as an example, the x, y and z translation deviation T from the PET image coordinate system to the CT image coordinate system is calculatedx、Ty、TzAnd angular deviation theta around x, y, zx、θy、θzAnd then, further comparing whether the 6 parameters are all in the corresponding preset parameter intervals one by one, wherein if the 6 parameters are all in the corresponding preset parameter intervals, the PET image and the CT image of the PET/CT equipment are in a superposed state.
The parameter T is defined asx、Ty、Tz、θx、θyAnd thetazEach of the parameters in the above description corresponds to a corresponding preset parameter interval, and in practical application, the six preset parameter intervals may be set, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In another embodiment of the present application, the determining the coincidence state of the images based on the barycentric distances of all the spatial markers may be performed, as shown in fig. 6, and the step 302 may include:
in step 302c, the shift amount of the center of gravity of all spatial markers in the spatial marker image in the first modality relative to the center of gravity of all spatial markers in the spatial marker image in the second modality is calculated according to the spatial coordinate information of the image coordinate system of the spatial markers in different modalities.
The present embodiment will be described by taking a PET/CT apparatus as an example, and the present embodiment can be based on the relational expression
Calculating barycentric coordinates (x) of all spatial markers in PET imageC PT,yC PT,zC PT) Whereinis the barycentric coordinate of a space marker i in a PET image, N is the total number of the space markers installed on the tree-shaped supporting device, and i is 1 … N;
according to the relation
Calculating barycentric coordinates (x) of all spatial markers in CT imageC CT,yC CT,zC CT) Wherein (x)CTi,yCTi,zCTi) The gravity center coordinates of the spatial marker i in the CT image are obtained;
according to the relation
The shift D of the center of gravity of all spatial markers in the PET image relative to the center of gravity of all spatial markers in the CT image is calculated.
The larger the distance difference D, the worse the image registration state of the PET/CT apparatus, and the smaller D, the better the image registration state of the PET/CT apparatus.
In step 302d, it is determined whether the offset is smaller than a preset threshold H, and if so, the spatial marker images are in a superposition state in different modalities.
In practical application, a threshold H can be set, and the image registration state of the PET/CT apparatus is adjusted when the offset is greater than H.
As can be seen from the above embodiments, the embodiment can provide one tree-shaped support device on which a plurality of radioactive spatial markers can be mounted, scan the tree-shaped support device on which the plurality of spatial markers are mounted in different modalities of the multi-modality medical imaging apparatus, and determine the image overlapping state of the apparatus according to the position difference of the spatial markers in the images in the different modalities, thereby achieving the purpose of detecting the overlapping state of the multi-modality medical images.
In another embodiment provided by the present application, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the following steps may be added:
and under the condition that the spatial marker images are in a non-coincident state under different modalities, adjusting the device coordinates of devices in different modalities in the multi-modality medical device according to at least one deviation parameter in the three-dimensional translation deviation and the angle deviation.
Compared with the current blind adjustment, in the embodiment, when adjusting the device coordinates of the PET device and the CT device in different modalities of the PET/CT multi-modality medical imaging device, the calculated three-dimensional translation deviation and the calculated angle deviation such as T can be referred tox、Ty、Tz、θx、θyAnd thetazThe adjustment is completed, and the adjustment operation is targeted.
Corresponding to the foregoing embodiments of the method for detecting the multi-modal medical image registration state, the present application also provides embodiments of a device for detecting the multi-modal medical image registration state.
As shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a block diagram of a multi-modality medical image registration state detection apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a multi-modality medical imaging device that scans any one of the aforementioned tree-shaped support apparatuses with multiple spatial markers installed thereon, where the apparatus may include:
