Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to Medical Imaging Technologies, more particularly, to handle the device and method of medical image.
Background technique
The development of modern medicine image provides the image data of a large amount of practical dissections and function etc. for clinic, into
And have become the indispensable a part of modern medical service.Currently, the application of medical image runs through entire clinical position, not only
Be widely used for medical diagnosis on disease, and in the plan design of surgical operation and radiotherapy etc., scheme implements and curative effect evaluation
Etc. many aspects play an important role.
Medical image refers to for medical treatment or medical research, to human body or human body part, obtained with non-intruding mode in
The technology and treatment process of tissue image, portion.Since X-ray invention, the development of Medical Imaging Technology probably experienced three
Stage: structure imaging, functional imaging and molecular image.Briefly, functional image includes the images such as SPECT, PET, fMRI,
The record by imaging information of cell metabolism.Whether whether the metabolism that functional image can embody cell is normal, or have abnormal
Metabolic cost increases or lowers.Abnormal metabolic cost indicates that the physiological activity of cell changes, or there may be certain diseases.
Structure image includes the images such as CT, X-ray, the record by imaging anatomical structure of organization internal.Structure image embodies dissection knot
The information of structure shows the structure change whether having physically, so as to the variation physically such as discovery fracture, occupy-place.Point
Sub-image shows the specific molecular of tissue level, cell and subcellsular level with the means of iconography, reflects under condition of living organism
Molecular level change, so as to carrying out qualitative and quantitative study in terms of image to its biological behaviour.
It inside each organ of human body, is made of independent functive one by one, different subfunction areas can be divided into,
Different subfunction areas have different metabolic costs.For this purpose, when carrying out processing analysis to functional image, many times only to image
In certain part it is interested, the area-of-interest in Medical Imaging be known as ROI (Region Of Interest).In order to right
The area-of-interest is tracked, and to obtain target signature, is usually drawn out in medical image by specific software
ROI.In other words, region of interest ROI is the image-region selected from medical image, this region is image analysis
The emphasis of concern.Drawing a circle to approve the region is to be further processed to medical image.
However, in the research of image, in addition to the area-of-interest in image to be seen in a certain plane, it is also necessary to determine
Voxel interested (VOI, volume of interest) in three dimensions.Voxel VOI interested is exactly in 3-dimensional image
Local volume, which corresponds to a sub- mac function of human body.If necessary to three-dimensional medical image region
It is analyzed, then needs to extract three-dimensional voxel VOI interested in three-dimensional medical image.In order to draw VOI, current
Common method is first by a three-dimensional medical image along selected dimension direction (such as cross section, coronal-plane, sagittal
Face) multiple faultage images with uniform thickness are cut into, corresponding ROI is then drawn out on each faultage image respectively.
When will draw respectively the faultage image of ROI according to original laminated structure together when, multiple ROI limit a three-dimensional
VOI.
But for some subfunction regions, it is more likely that foot can not be obtained on the VOI along selected dimension drafting
Enough information, and then from needing further to come from other visual angles and analyze the feature in the subfunction region.For this reason, it may be necessary to edge
Other dimensions further draw the VOI in relation to the subfunction region.That is, if it is desired to the image of comprehensive multiple dimensions
Feature integrally understands the information in the subfunction region, then needs to draw multiple VOI along multiple dimensions respectively.
Although the method for the prior art can satisfy actual needs in certain degree, its disadvantage is also very
Significantly.Firstly, the VOI drafting of the prior art is relatively time-consuming.Due to every VOI drawn along a dimension, require to exist first
ROI is drawn on multiple faultage images respectively, a VOI may correspond to the even more ROI of dozens of, so needing costly
Time and efforts could complete needed for multiple dimensions VOI draw.This is a very time-consuming and laborious process, and then is caused
The processing of medical image and analytic process become very very long.This will hugely increase diagnosis cost, and be unfavorable for timely and effective
Diagnosing and treating is implemented to ground to patient.Secondly, multiple VOI accuracy that the prior art is drawn are relatively low.As previously mentioned, by
In every VOI drawn along a dimension, require to draw ROI respectively on multiple faultage images first, and ROI is usually with people
The mode of work, which is sketched out with experience, to be come, and due to experience or manually-operated inevitable fault, is delineated
ROI out may not be able to accurately embody the actual conditions in objective function region, so as to cause being drawn in one dimension
The VOI of the system and VOI drawn in another dimension is not consistent or even error is very big, after this will necessarily be negatively affected
The analytic process of phase and the accuracy of result, and then influence final diagnostic result accuracy and therapeutic effect.
For this purpose, in the art there is still a need for a kind of for handling the technology of medical image, it is especially a kind of for drawing
The technology of VOI can effectively improve the effect of drafting when drawing the VOI of multiple dimensions for the same subfunction region

height)).Wherein x and y is the starting point of ROI region, and width and height are wide and height, after extracting area-of-interest to src,
It is handled when carrying out image procossing to src again just for the interested of extraction.Using will be to passing through when the function
CvResetImageROI () function discharges ROI, only compares to ROI region when otherwise handling image.
Method two: widthstep is used.Using CvRect, one area-of-interest CvRect interest_Rect is set
=cvRect (x, y, width, height);A subgraph identical with source images attribute is created, size is area-of-interest
Size;
IplImage*src_img=cvCreateImageHeader (cvSize (interest_rect.width,
Interest_re ct.height), src- > depth, src- > nChannels) src_img- > origin=src- >
origin;
Set identical origin standard
Src_img- > widthstep=src- > widthstep;
Set identical widthstep
Set the data area of area-of-interest
Src_img- > imageData=src- > imageData+interest_rect.y*src- > widthstep+
interest_rect.x*src->nChannels;
