The invention provides a calcification artifact eliminating method for solving the problem that the error is larger when the actual calcification degree is calculated because the influence of calcification artifacts is eliminated by reduction in the traditional method. Firstly, obtaining and processing original blood vessel image data through step 101 to obtain original calcification image data, thus rough region image data of a calcification image is preliminarily extracted, then performing fitting processing on the extracted original calcification image data through step 102 to obtain a gray scale change curved surface, wherein the gray scale change curved surface can intuitively display gray scale change gradient between each pixel point in the original calcification image, and is convenient for extracting the original calcification image data according to the gray scale change curved surface through step 103 to obtain a calcification center region image, wherein the calcification center region image is extracted according to a set range on the gray scale change curved surface, therefore, an artifact part in the original calcification image data can be separated according to the gray scale characteristics of calcification and the artifact part, so that a more accurate calcification region is obtained, and finally, adjusting is performed according to the calcification center region image through step 104, and analyzing and optimizing the obtained data again to obtain an artifact correction calcification image.

In one embodiment, processing the raw blood vessel image data to obtain raw calcification image data includes:
performing primary segmentation on original blood vessel image data to obtain an original calcified area;
performing dot multiplication on the original calcification area and the corresponding original blood vessel image data to obtain original calcification image data, wherein the original blood vessel image data at least comprises one of the following data: a vessel straightened image or a vessel short axis CT image.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the original calcification region with the partial calcification artifact region is obtained by performing primary segmentation on the original blood vessel image data, and then the original calcification region and the corresponding original blood vessel image data are subjected to dot multiplication to obtain the original calcification image data capable of displaying the calcification artifact image data in the original calcification region. Therefore, the method is favorable for carrying out deep processing on the original calcification image data with the calcification artifact part, and obtaining a more accurate calcification calculation result for eliminating the influence effect of the calcification artifact.
In an embodiment, the fitting the raw calcification image data to obtain the gray-scale variation curve includes:
and (4) performing two-dimensional Gaussian surface fitting on the original calcification image data by taking the gray level as the marking variance to obtain a two-dimensional gray level change curved surface.
As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, a two-dimensional gaussian function surface fitting is performed on original calcification image data by setting a gray level as an annotation variance, wherein a minimum difference of the original calcification image data is a height of a gaussian function, and an obtained two-dimensional gray level change surface can display a gray level change gradient between pixel points in the original calcification image, so that a calcification artifact can be found according to the two-dimensional gray level change surface, the influence of the calcification artifact is further eliminated, and the accuracy of a calcification calculation result is improved. Before the fitting process, the embodiment of the invention can perform an image morphology operation on the original calcification image data: and expanding, and then performing two-dimensional Gaussian function fitting on the expanded original calcification image data, so that the fitted two-dimensional gray scale change curved surface can express more obvious gray scale gradient change difference, and the extraction precision of actual calcification region data is improved.
In an embodiment, extracting the raw calcification image data according to the gray scale variation curve, and obtaining the calcification center region image includes:
determining the number of gray pixels according to the two-dimensional gray change curved surface;
determining a gray threshold corresponding to the original calcification image data according to the number of gray pixels;
and extracting the original calcification image data according to the gray threshold value to obtain a calcification center region image.
The number of gray-scale pixels is determined according to the two-dimensional gray-scale change curved surface, wherein the number of gray-scale pixels is used for determining the number of actual calcified pixels needing to be reserved in the original calcified image data, specifically, a gray-scale threshold corresponding to the number of actual calcified pixels in the original calcified image data can be determined according to the number of gray-scale pixels, and then the original calcified image data is extracted according to the gray-scale threshold to obtain a calcified central region image corresponding to the number of actual calcified pixels. Therefore, the number of gray pixels and the gray threshold value are determined through the two-dimensional gray change curved surface, so that the actual calcified pixels are accurately extracted, the image of the calcified central area is obtained, and the extraction precision of the actual calcified area and the accuracy of a calcified settlement result can be improved.
In one embodiment, determining the number of gray pixels from the two-dimensional gray-scale variation surface includes:
searching a maximum change rate point and a central point of the two-dimensional gray scale change curved surface;
calculating the area of the circle by taking the distance from the maximum change rate point to the central point as a radius;
the circle area is determined as the number of gray pixels.
As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, by searching for the point with the maximum gradient change rate on the two-dimensional gaussian surface, since the gray gradient change between the calcification pixel point and the artifact pixel point is theoretically the maximum point, the point with the maximum change rate is the boundary point between the actual calcification region and the artifact region. And then, the distance from the point to the center of the Gaussian curve is used as a radius to calculate, and the obtained circle area comprises all pixel points representing the actual calcified area, so that the circle area is determined as the number of gray pixels, all the pixel numbers corresponding to the actual calcified area can be extracted, and the accuracy and the reliability of calculating the actual calcified area are greatly improved.

As shown in fig. 2, after the number of gray pixels is obtained, the gray ranking value of the number of gray pixels in the corresponding original calcification image data is obtained and queried, where the gray ranking value is the boundary gray ranking value between the actual calcification pixel and the artifact pixel in the original calcification image data, and the gray ranking value is determined as the gray threshold, that is, the gray threshold can perform relatively accurate extraction on the original calcification image data to obtain a relatively accurate calcification center region image.
In an embodiment, the adjusting according to the calcification center region image to obtain the artifact-corrected calcification image includes:
searching a continuous area and a discontinuous area in the calcification center area image;
judging whether the ratio of the area of the discontinuous area to the area of the continuous area exceeds a set threshold value or not;
if not, determining the calcification center region image without the discontinuous region as an artifact correction calcification image;
if the difference exceeds the threshold value, the image obtained by expanding the continuous region by the set pixels in the direction of the discontinuous region is determined as the artifact-corrected calcification image.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the calcified region center image is extracted from the original blood vessel image data according to the gray threshold, and the gray threshold is likely to have some discontinuous regions with relatively small areas in the original blood vessel image data, and the actual calcified region is theoretically a continuous region with relatively large area, the calcified region center image obtained by extraction may need to be adjusted again. As shown in fig. 2, it can be specifically determined by first searching the continuous region and the discontinuous region in the calcification center region image, and determining whether the ratio of the area of the discontinuous region to the area of the continuous region exceeds a set threshold, and if not, it indicates that the influence of ignoring the discontinuous region is small, so that the calcification center region image without the discontinuous region can be determined as the artifact-corrected calcification image. If the number of the set pixels exceeds the set threshold, the influence of the discontinuous region needs to be considered, and then the image after expanding the set pixels towards the discontinuous region is determined as an artifact-corrected calcified image on the basis of the continuous region with a larger area, wherein the number of the set pixels can be the number of the pixels of the discontinuous region. Partial pixels are expanded or abandoned through the step of carrying out secondary adjustment on the center image of the calcified area, and the extraction precision of actual calcified pixels is favorably further improved, so that the influence effect of calcified artifacts is better eliminated, and a more accurate calcified calculation result is obtained.
