Lump segmentation module is used to split the lump in area-of-interest that region of interesting extraction module is extracted, Segmented image sequence is obtained, and sends visualization model and characteristic extracting module to.
In view of lump has high brightness, approximately round and pair that generates due to the gray difference with surrounding tissue Than features such as degree, the present embodiment is using 3D region growth segmentation lump.
The basic thought of region growing is that the pixel set with similitude is got up to constitute region, first to each needs Starting point of the sub-pixel as growth is found out in the region of segmentation, then will be had in sub-pixel surrounding neighbors with seed identical Or the pixel (being determined according to pre-determined growth or similarity criterion) of similar quality is merged into the region where sub-pixel In, and new pixel continues to grow around as seed, and the pixel until not meeting condition again may include coming in, and one Region, which is just grown, to be formed.There are 3 crucial problems during this: growing the determination of seed point, the condition of region growing, area The condition that domain growth stops.
Region growing realizes lump segmentation, and specific step is as follows:
Step 3.1: the gray level of every image in image of interest sequence being compressed, compression image sequence is obtained Column;
Step 3.2: the middle layer in display compression image sequence;In the present embodiment, intermediate tomographic image in image sequence Shown in original sequence figure such as Fig. 6 (a), in image sequence shown in area-of-interest such as Fig. 6 (b) of intermediate tomographic image;
Step 3.3: being selected in intermediate tomographic image a little as seed point, if its pixel is (x0, y0);

Step 3.5: centered on region, continuing with 6 neighborhood territory pixels, the point for meeting growth conditions is incorporated to, again shape The region of Cheng Xin;The growth conditions is when the segmented good region all pixels point of the sum of the grayscale values of pixel to be added When the absolute value of the difference of average gray value is less than or equal to thresholding T, which is added to the region being divided into;
Step 3.6: step 3.5 is repeated, until region growing terminates when meeting this growth conditions there is no pixel;This reality It applies in example, in image sequence shown in lump segmentation schematic diagram such as Fig. 6 (c) of intermediate tomographic image;
Step 3.7: segmentation result being expanded, cavity is supplemented, deletes three Morphological scale-spaces of small area object, is obtained Ideal segmentation result;In the present embodiment, in image sequence shown in Morphological scale-space result such as Fig. 6 (d) of intermediate tomographic image.
Visualization model, after carrying out visualization display to every image in segmented image sequence and extracting visualization Image in the edge of lesion realized to clearly see lesion present position especially by following steps:
Step 4.1: the edge of lump is detected in lump cutting procedure, and its pixel value is denoted as 1, rest of pixels value note It is 0;
Step 4.2: visualization display lump segmentation as a result, and marginal information is shown on the image, so as to clearly See lesion form.
In the present embodiment, in image sequence the segmentation contour of intermediate tomographic image and final segmentation result respectively such as Fig. 6 (e) and Shown in 6 (f).

The characteristic value of selective extraction should follow following feature:
1. identifiability: the characteristic value of different class objects has notable difference;
2. reliability: homogeneous object applies similar characteristic value;
3. independence: should not have strong correlation between characteristic value;
Morphological feature is the variable for describing lump shape, edge and geometrical characteristic.
Gray level co-occurrence matrixes are a kind of texture characteristic extracting methods, mainly by four energy, entropy, contrast, correlation spies The mean value and variance for levying parameter are constituted.Energy is the quadratic sum of gray level co-occurrence matrixes element value, reflects image grayscale distribution Uniformity coefficient and texture fineness degree.Contrast reflects the clarity of image and the degree of the texture rill depth.Texture rill is got over Deep, contrast is bigger, and visual effect is more clear;Conversely, contrast is small, then rill is shallow, and effect is fuzzy.Relativity measurement space Gray level co-occurrence matrixes element be expert at or column direction on similarity degree, therefore, correlation size reflects local gray level in image Correlation.Entropy illustrates the non-uniform degree or complexity of texture in image.
Grey level histogram is the function about grey level distribution, is the statistics to grey level distribution in image, it indicates figure The number of pixel as in certain gray level reflects the frequency that certain gray scale occurs in image.
Psychologic research based on the mankind to the visual perception of texture, Tamura et al. propose the table of textural characteristics It reaches.Six components of Tamura textural characteristics correspond to Psychological Angle on textural characteristics six attribute, be respectively roughness, Contrast, direction degree, line picture degree, regularity and rough degree.Wherein, first three component is even more important for image retrieval.
In the present embodiment, four kinds of features, including morphological feature, gray level co-occurrence matrixes feature, intensity histogram are extracted altogether Figure feature and Tamura feature.Each lump extracts 33 dimensional features altogether, including area, perimeter, like circularity, length-width ratio, rectangle, matter The heart, degree of eccentricity etc. 16 ties up morphological feature;Energy, entropy, 8 Wei Huidugongshengjuzhente of contrast, the mean value of correlation and standard deviation Sign;The 3 dimension textural characteristics extracted by Tamura, i.e. contrast, roughness and direction degree;6 dimension grey level histogram features: Value, mean square deviation, smoothness, third moment, consistency, entropy.
Feature Dimension Reduction module is used to carry out Feature Dimension Reduction to the feature set after extraction, forms new character subset.
Feature Dimension Reduction plays an important role in terms of training classifier, reduction computation complexity, raising. Minimum absolute retract and selection operator (LASSO) method are suitable for the recurrence of high dimensional data, select for concentrating from initial data The most useful predicted characteristics.The basic thought of LASSO is in constraint item of the sum of the absolute value of regression coefficient less than a constant Under part, residual sum of squares (RSS) is minimized, so as to generate certain regression coefficients exactly equal to 0, reduces redundancy and uncorrelated Feature, and then achieve the purpose that dimensionality reduction.In the present embodiment, it is concentrated using LASSO from primitive character and selects 14 optimal dimensions Feature set forms new feature set.
