Background
Photoacoustic imaging is a novel breakthrough noninvasive biomedical imaging technology which is newly developed internationally and has the advantages of optical imaging and ultrasonic imaging, and the principle is that pulse laser is guided into biological tissues, the tissues generate ultrasonic signals due to instantaneous thermal expansion, and light absorption information of the tissues is obtained by detecting the signals. The hemoglobin in the biological tissue has different absorption degrees to different wavelengths of light, and the excited photoacoustic signals have different strength degrees.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terms "comprises" and "comprising," and any variations thereof, in the description and claims of this invention and the above-described drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, or system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc. are used to distinguish between different objects and are not used to describe a particular order.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of a blood vessel image extraction method in the embodiment of the present application includes:
101. acquiring a three-dimensional blood vessel image;
illustratively, the three-dimensional blood vessel image in the embodiment of the present application may be obtained by scanning the target object. In the embodiment of the present application, the target object may be an animal organ with a curved surface. Such as the anterior segment of the eye. Specifically, the anterior segment includes: anterior chamber, posterior chamber, zonules of the lens, angle of the chamber, portion of the lens, peripheral vitreous body, retinal and extraocular muscle attachment sites, conjunctiva, and the like.
Illustratively, the three-dimensional scan data in the embodiment of the present application includes: and reconstructing a maximum amplitude projection graph of the image by using the three-dimensional data and the signal intensity of the corresponding pixel point in the maximum amplitude projection graph.
102. Denoising the three-dimensional blood vessel image in an opening operation and closing operation mode to obtain a denoised three-dimensional blood vessel image;
the opening operation generally smoothes the contour of the object, breaks narrower necks, and eliminates thin protrusions. The close operation also smoothes a portion of the contour, but in contrast to the open operation, it typically closes narrow discontinuities and elongated ravines, eliminates small holes, and fills breaks in the contour.
Exemplarily, performing corrosion operation processing on the three-dimensional blood vessel image, and performing opening operation on the corroded three-dimensional blood vessel image to obtain an opening operation graph; performing expansion operation processing on the three-dimensional blood vessel image, and performing closing operation on the expanded three-dimensional blood vessel image to obtain a closing operation diagram; and carrying out Fourier transform on the open operation graph and the closed operation graph to obtain a denoised three-dimensional blood vessel image.
103. Extracting a blood vessel characteristic map of the denoised three-dimensional blood vessel image through a Gaussian scale space;
the Gaussian scale space is a theory for performing multi-scale analysis on an image, and the basic idea is as follows: assuming that f (x) is a Fourier spectrum of an original signal defined in a [0, pi ] range, x is frequency, t is a scale parameter and e is a natural constant in a Gaussian kernel function formula introducing scale parameters, and the Gaussian kernel function formula is convolved with f (x), and a spatial representation sequence of f (x) under different scales can be obtained by changing parameters of the kernel function.
Exemplarily, convolving a preset Gaussian kernel function with the denoised three-dimensional blood vessel image to construct a Gaussian pyramid of the three-dimensional blood vessel image; subtracting images of adjacent scales in the Gaussian pyramid to obtain a Gaussian scale space of the three-dimensional blood vessel image; and extracting local extreme points in the Gaussian scale space to form a blood vessel characteristic map of the three-dimensional blood vessel image.
104. Performing image enhancement on the blood vessel characteristic map through a Hessian matrix;
and carrying out image enhancement on the blood vessel characteristic diagram through a Hessian matrix to obtain a blood vessel enhanced image.
The Hessian matrix finds gradient information of each pixel point by solving a second derivative of each pixel point in an image, and for the special form of the blood vessel, the gradient along the central line direction of the blood vessel is basically unchanged, and the gradient along the section direction of the blood vessel is greatly changed, so that blood vessel signals and other signals are distinguished, and the blood vessel signals are enhanced.
105. And carrying out region growing on the blood vessel enhanced image to obtain a blood vessel extraction image.
Region growing is the process of grouping pixels or sub-regions into larger regions according to a predefined criterion. The basic idea is to extract all blood vessel signals by starting with a set of growing points, merging adjacent pixels or regions with similar properties to the growing points with the growing points to form new growing points, and repeating the process until the growing points cannot grow. When a blood vessel signal is extracted, a point with a very strong signal is set as a seed point (because the intensity of a photoacoustic signal of blood is stronger than that of other signals), and a certain threshold is set for growth until the growth is impossible.
In the embodiment of the application, the three-dimensional blood vessel image is denoised in an opening operation and closing operation mode, a blood vessel characteristic diagram of the denoised three-dimensional blood vessel image is extracted through a Gaussian scale space, the blood vessel characteristic diagram is subjected to image enhancement through a Hessian matrix to obtain a blood vessel enhanced image, and finally the blood vessel enhanced image is subjected to region growing to obtain a blood vessel extraction image. The method and the device can directly extract the three-dimensional blood vessel data without extracting the blood vessel data after two-dimensional projection is carried out on the data, and can be more efficiently applied to disease diagnosis.
Example two
The embodiment of the present application describes, by taking a specific experiment as an example, a blood vessel image extraction method in the embodiment of the present application, including:
the target object of the embodiment of the application is the root of the iris on the surface of the top of the eyeball, and the blood vessel image of the root of the iris is scanned by a three-dimensional scanning device to obtain the blood vessel image of the iris as shown in fig. 2.
In the embodiment of the present application, the blood vessel image framed in the rectangular frame in fig. 2 is processed, and the two rectangular frames in the figure are respectively marked as region 1 and region 2). As shown, the two marker regions have two different vessel characteristics. Region 1 represents the unordered iris portion of the distributed vasculature, while region 2 represents the radially distributed blood vessels of the iris portion.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows processing results obtained through each key step of the blood vessel image extraction method in the embodiment of the present application. In fig. 3, (a) to (d) represent the process of extracting blood vessels from the region 1, and (e) to (h) represent the process of extracting blood vessels from the region two. (d) And (h) final vessel extraction maps, respectively. In fig. 3, (a) and (e) are the original unprocessed images of the area 1 and the area 2, respectively.
As can be seen by comparing the vessel signals in the figures, in (b) and (f) of fig. 3, we can clearly see that the Hessian matrix-based method enhances the entire image of the vessel signals. However, the microvascular signal is still relatively weak and therefore cannot be diagnosed. But then the microvascular signal is further enhanced by intensity conversion, resulting in (c) and (g) of fig. 3; further, after completing the region growing of the blood vessel enhanced image, as shown in (d) and (h) of fig. 3, the background noise is completely removed, resulting in a clear blood vessel image.
For the accuracy of the algorithm in the embodiment of the present application, the comparison between the original image (fig. 3(a) and (e)) and the final image "fig. 3 (d) and (h)" is performed by making a dotted line in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, and the irregular wavy line and the impulse line in fig. 4 (a) represent the signal intensity at the dotted line in fig. 3(a) and (d), respectively; the irregular wavy line and the pulse line in (b) represent the signal intensity at the yellow dotted line in fig. 3(e) and (h), respectively. Observation revealed that vascular signals were accurately extracted.
