Description

The CT image sequence pulmonary artery metamorphosis detection method indicated based on radial function
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of changes of computed tomography pulmonary arterial vascular radiography (CTPA) image sequence pulmonary artery form Change detection method, belongs to technical field of medical image processing.
Background technique
CTPA image pulmonary artery divide automatically be Pulmonary Arterial Diseases computer-aided diagnosis key link, for pulmonary artery Early discovery, the early diagnosis of class disease are of great significance with early treatment.Pulmonary artery tree has complicated anatomical structure, specific manifestation To be gradually divided into the branched structures such as leaf, section and sub- section from vessel trunk;This is resulted in CTPA image sequence, different layers The pulmonary artery morphological differences of grade is larger, it is possible that the case where form of pulmonary artery mutates in adjacent two picture, this Great difficulty is brought to pulmonary artery segmentation.
Target following method is a kind of basic CTPA image pulmonary artery dividing method, and active contour model, which is used as, is based on target The relation information of the marginal information and image sequence of image or more interlayer is utilized in the target following method of edge contour, it can make Curve convergence at target concave edges, divide by the detection suitable for this kind of irregular figure of pulmonary artery.But when in image sequence When morphological mutation occurs for adjacent pulmonary artery, active contour model cannot accurately reach the side of pulmonary artery after target morphology mutation sometimes Edge causes missing inspection or tracks the loss of target.Therefore, form change is carried out for the target gone out using target following method primary segmentation The direction that target morphology is changed significantly in image sequence is determined in the detection of change, is a urgent problem to be solved.
The random hypersurface model (RHM) of star convex can model any star convex target, now be chiefly used in utilizing thunder The tracking of the extension target carried out up to equal sensors, but it is also more rare in the application of medical image sequences target tracking domain See.During being modeled using RHM to target, star convex need to be indicated with radial function, radial function can be analyzed to Fu In leaf series, and the rough profile of shape can be described by the low-frequency harmonics of Fourier space, and the detailed information of shape is then by Fu The shape that the high-frequency harmonic expression of leaf series, i.e. radial function are able to reflect target.For CTPA image pulmonary artery target, It is feasible for describing its shape using this radial function representation method.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to solve traditional images tracking and partitioning algorithm in the segmentation of CTPA image sequence pulmonary artery Above-mentioned technical problem, the radial function representation method of this method combining target provides a kind of CTPA image sequence pulmonary artery shape State change detecting method.
To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a kind of target morphology change indicated based on radial function Change detection method, this method is including the use of radial function representation method for the lung of primary segmentation out from individual each CTPA image Artery carries out radial function description, obtains radial function curve;Cluster radial function curve is then obtained for whole image sequence Then race seeks variance to family of curves, obtain variance curve;Angle corresponding to the maximum value of variance curve is sought later, with Determine target sequence metamorphosis direction the most significant.
Angle for a star convex target, between the line l and trunnion axis of centroid to marginal pointWith l's Length r is in one-to-one relationship;And the edge of a target is formed by connecting by a series of marginal points, therefore, withFor Abscissa, r are ordinate, and each target can correspond to oneCurve;For an image sequence, each figure The target of picture all respectively corresponds oneCurve, the target in whole image sequence will correspond to family of curves
Often give a specific angleFamily of curves can all correspond to one group of RiValue, this group of RiThe variance of value represents at angle DegreeUnder identified direction, marginal point to the difference degree of centroid distance, get over by variance between the different target from image sequence Big explanation is in angleTarget morphology variation is bigger under identified direction.Based on this, to family of curvesVariance is sought, is obtained Variance curveVariance curve is sought laterMaximum valueCorresponding abscissa angle valueTarget morphology changes direction the most significant as in image sequence.
