Through the process, the purpose of image segmentation and detection of the image data of the whole disease species of the mediastinum is achieved, the good detection performance of each detection method is integrated, and the accuracy and the efficiency of image detection of the whole disease species of the mediastinum are improved.
As a preferred implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the preset semantic segmentation model includes a first semantic segmentation model, and the following steps S201 to S203 are included before the image data of the tomography of the mediastinal organ is input into the preset semantic segmentation model for semantic segmentation and a semantic segmentation result is obtained by fusion:
step S201, pre-processing the marked image data to obtain a plurality of slice image data.
In specific implementation, when performing semantic segmentation on mediastinal organ flat-scan CT image data, a 2.5D network model may be used as a first semantic segmentation model to perform semantic segmentation of an image, and when performing model training on the 2.5D network model, firstly, labeled flat-scan CT image data needs to be acquired as training data, and further, 3D image data segmentation is performed on the labeled flat-scan CT image data to obtain a plurality of slice image data.
Step S202, grouping the plurality of sliced image data to obtain a plurality of sets of training data images.

Of course, the specific grouping method of slice data can be flexibly adjusted by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and is not limited specifically herein.
Step S203, training the plurality of sets of training data images respectively to obtain the first semantic segmentation model.
In specific implementation, the obtained multiple groups of training data images are respectively input into a 2.5D network model for training to obtain a final first semantic segmentation model.
As a preferred implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the preset semantic segmentation model includes a plurality of sub-network models; the steps S301 to S303 are that the image data of the tomography of the mediastinal organ is input into a preset semantic segmentation model for semantic segmentation, and a semantic segmentation result is obtained by fusion:
step S301, performing data segmentation on the image data according to a first preset rule, and then training the image data respectively to obtain a plurality of sub-network models.
In specific implementation, the preset semantic segmentation model may include a plurality of 2.5D segmentation network models, and before training a training sample to obtain a plurality of 2.5D segmentation network models, the marked flat-scan CT image data needs to be segmented into 3D data in x, y, and z directions, and then the 3 sub-network models are obtained by training respectively.
Step S302 is to input the image data to the plurality of sub-network models, respectively, to obtain a segmentation result of the plurality of sub-network models.
In specific implementation, when performing image segmentation on unlabeled flat-scan CT image data, it is also necessary to perform segmentation on the unlabeled flat-scan CT image data in three directions, namely x, y, and z, to perform 3D data segmentation, and then input the segmented image data into the trained 3 sub-network models respectively for image segmentation, so as to obtain image segmentation results of the 3 sub-network models.
Step S303, performing average processing on the segmentation results of the plurality of sub-network models to obtain the semantic segmentation result.
In specific implementation, the slice segmentation results output by the 3 2.5D segmentation networks need to be spliced to obtain a complete 3D flat-scan CT segmentation mask. The specific splicing method may be to average the slice segmentation results output by the 3 2.5D segmentation networks, and take the average as the final segmentation result of the 2.5D semantic segmentation model.
Preferably, the preset semantic segmentation model may further include a second semantic segmentation model such as a 3D segmentation network model, and when performing model training, the original 3D flat-scan CT image data is converted into image blocks of 128 × 128 pixels and input into the network, and is trained by using a dice loss function.

As shown in fig. 4, a schematic flow chart of image semantic segmentation of total mediastinal diseases is provided, and the specific process is described above in detail and is not repeated here.
As a preferred implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, the performing, based on the semantic segmentation result, an example segmentation on the image data of the tomography of the mediastinal organ by using a preset example segmentation model to obtain an example segmentation result includes steps S401 to S402 as follows:
step S401, obtaining the segmentation label information of the semantic segmentation result.
In specific implementation, when performing example segmentation of images of mediastinal organs such as thyroid nodules and lymph nodules, firstly, semantic segmentation results corresponding to CT image data of the thyroid nodules and the lymph nodules need to be obtained, and segmentation labels corresponding to the semantic segmentation results are determined.
Step S402, concatenating the segmentation label information in the convolution layer of the preset instance segmentation model to obtain the instance segmentation result.
In specific implementation, the preset instance segmentation model may adopt a Mask R-CNN network architecture, and segment label information obtained from the semantic segmentation result is concatenated at an rpn (region pro-possible networks) network portion and a convolution layer of a last layer, so as to improve the performance of instance segmentation.
As a preferred implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, the performing, based on the semantic segmentation result, an example segmentation on the image data of the tomography of the mediastinal organ by using a preset example segmentation model to obtain an example segmentation result includes steps S501 to S503 as follows:
step S501, performing data segmentation on the marked image data according to a second preset rule to obtain multiple groups of training data images.
In specific implementation, when a preset instance segmentation model is constructed, firstly, data of a 3D flat scan CT image, which is manually labeled, for example, obtained in a contour drawing manner, is segmented in the z-axis direction, wherein 3 slices are taken as a group to form a plurality of groups of training data images, which are taken as an input part of the model.
Step S502, the multiple groups of training data images are respectively trained to obtain the preset example segmentation model.
In specific implementation, the multiple groups of training data are input into a network architecture of Mask R-CNN for training to obtain the preset example segmentation model.
Step S503, performing data segmentation on the image data that is not labeled according to a second preset rule, and inputting the image data into the preset instance segmentation model to obtain the instance segmentation result.
In specific implementation, when the example segmentation is performed on images of mediastinal organs such as thyroid nodules and lymph nodules, the image data of the mediastinal organs such as the thyroid nodules and the lymph nodules which are not marked are subjected to data segmentation in the z-axis direction, and the segmented image data are input into the trained example segmentation model for example segmentation, so that an example segmentation result of each piece of slice data is obtained.
As a preferred implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, after the outputting of the image segmentation result of the image data of the tomography of the mediastinal organ according to the semantic segmentation result and the example segmentation result, steps S601 to S602 include as follows:
step S601, measuring the image of the mediastinal organ in the image segmentation result to obtain a measurement result of the image of the mediastinal organ.
In specific implementation, after the image segmentation result of each mediastinal organ is obtained, it is further required to determine whether the mediastinal organ has disease symptoms by measuring or the like according to the image segmentation result. For example, on the basis of the aorta segmentation result output by the semantic segmentation network, the aorta inside diameter value in each slice database image in the z-axis direction is measured, and on the basis of the heart segmentation and the lung segmentation output by the semantic segmentation network, the heart diameter value and the thoracic inside diameter value in each slice data image in the z-axis direction are measured, so as to obtain the heart major diameter and the corresponding thoracic inside diameter.
Step S602, comparing the measurement result of the image of the mediastinal organ with a preset threshold of the image of the mediastinal organ to obtain a detection result of the image of the mediastinal organ.
In specific implementation, the measurement result of each image of the mediastinal organ needs to be compared with a preset threshold of the image of the mediastinal organ to determine whether the mediastinal organ has disease symptoms. For example, on the basis of the measured aorta inner diameter, the relative sizes of the ascending aorta inner diameter length and the descending aorta inner diameter length in each slice data image are compared, and if the difference is more than 1.5 times, or the ascending aorta inner diameter length is more than 4.5cm, or the descending aorta inner diameter length is more than 4cm, then the aorta expansion or aortic aneurysm symptom is considered to exist. On the basis of the measurement results of the heart diameter value and the thoracic diameter value, if the ratio of the maximum heart diameter to the corresponding thoracic diameter is 0.5 or more, it is considered that there is a sign of cardiac enlargement.
Preferably, on the basis of the aorta segmentation result output by the semantic segmentation network, comparing the CT data value of the corresponding aorta in the original CT image with the calcified lesion CT data value, and if the CT data value of the aorta is greater than the calcified lesion threshold, determining that the aorta calcification is present there.
Preferably, if a thyroid nodule is detected by the example segmentation network, then the thyroid disease symptom is considered to be present there. In addition, on the basis of the lymph node segmentation output by the example segmentation network, the internal diameter of each segmented lymph node is measured, and if the long diameter value of the lymph node is more than 1.5cm or the short diameter value of the lymph node is more than 1cm, the lymph node is considered to be in a swollen state.
As shown in fig. 8, a schematic diagram of a whole flow of image detection and measurement of a whole disease species of mediastinum is provided, and the specific process is described above in detail and is not repeated herein.
From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention achieves the following technical effects: according to the method, on a flat-scan CT image, 2.5D and 3D network models are used for segmenting images of organs such as aorta, pulmonary artery, trachea, esophagus and heart, and fusion operation is carried out on the output of the 2.5D and 3D network models to obtain a final segmentation result. On the basis of the segmentation of the aorta and the heart, whether the symptoms such as aortic calcification and the like exist is searched according to a threshold value; according to the measurement and comparison of the ascending aorta inner diameter and the descending aorta inner diameter, whether the aorta is dilated or the aortic aneurysm is searched; on the flat-scan CT image, normal and diseased data are used to segment the heart and chest CT images, and the presence or absence of heart augmentation is determined by comparing the maximum diameter of the heart with the corresponding inside diameter of the thorax. Marking thyroid and lymphatic diseases by adopting a contour drawing mode, and detecting the thyroid and lymphatic diseases by adopting an example segmentation method. And finally, judging whether the disease of lymph node enlargement exists or not by measuring the inner diameter of the lymph node obtained by dividing the example. Through the process, the CT images of the mediastinum total disease species are quickly and accurately segmented and detected, and the efficiency of detecting the CT images of the mediastinum total disease species is improved.
It should be noted that the steps illustrated in the flowcharts of the figures may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions and that, although a logical order is illustrated in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than presented herein.
