Detailed Description
Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, like reference numbers can indicate functionally identical or similar elements. While the various aspects of the embodiments are presented in drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.
The word "exemplary" is used exclusively herein to mean "serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration. Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.
Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present disclosure. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details. In some instances, methods, means, elements and circuits that are well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present disclosure.
The middle cerebral artery high density signal (HMCAS) is represented in a Computed Tomography (CT) image of the brain as the density of the middle cerebral artery being higher than that of the surrounding area. HMCAS is one of the important signs of early cerebral infarction. The proportion of HMCAS present in acute cerebral infarction cases is large. Therefore, accurate identification of HMCAS in CT images will play a key role in medical research related to acute cerebral infarction.
However, accurate identification of HMCAS from CT images is challenging due to various factors. For example: CT images have the characteristics of low signal-to-noise ratio and low contrast, and the difficulty of accurately segmenting the HMCAS is increased. 2. The relative positions of all patients and the CT machine cannot be kept consistent, and the accuracy of segmenting out the target object is reduced. 3. Because the middle artery is very close to a certain part of the skull (such as the anterior bed process) or the patient has middle artery calcification, the middle artery calcification part or the bone part is easy to be identified as the middle cerebral artery high-density character by mistake. The proportion of HMCAS in CT images is too small, which causes serious unbalance problems. The solution to this in the related art is mainly applicable to CT images acquired according to uniform parameters; for the case of performing HMCAS segmentation on CT images acquired according to different parameters, the effect is poor.
The embodiment of the disclosure finally completes the identification of the middle cerebral artery high-density characteristic image by preprocessing the three-dimensional image, associating the middle cerebral artery high-density characteristic image (namely, the first infarct area) primarily segmented in the three-dimensional image with the connected domain corresponding to the first infarct area in the two-dimensional image, and screening the primarily segmented middle cerebral artery high-density characteristic image for multiple times, thereby having higher accuracy.
Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a middle cerebral artery high density feature image identification method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the method for recognizing high-density images of middle cerebral artery includes:
step S11, segmenting a first infarct area representing the high density characteristics of the middle cerebral artery on a three-dimensional image, wherein the three-dimensional image corresponds to at least one layer of two-dimensional image;
step S12, determining at least one connected domain corresponding to the first peduncle area in the two-dimensional image according to the mapping relation between the three-dimensional image and the coordinates of the two-dimensional image;
step S13, determining a connected domain with the pixel average value smaller than a preset pixel value threshold value in the connected domain to obtain a target connected domain;
step S14, determining a second infarction region corresponding to the target connected domain in the three-dimensional image according to the mapping relation between the coordinates of the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image;
step S15, when a difference value between volumes of second infarct areas of two brain areas is greater than a preset volume difference threshold, determining a second infarct area in a brain area having a larger volume of the two brain areas as a target infarct area, where the two brain areas include: left brain region, right brain region.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the image representing the high density characteristics of the middle cerebral artery can be segmented on the three-dimensional image acquired for the brain of the human body, and the first infarct area is obtained as the segmentation result. And a two-dimensional image can be obtained aiming at the same human brain. The three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image are both the representation of the same object (human brain), and thus the three-dimensional image corresponds to the two-dimensional image. The three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image may be Computed Tomography (CT) images of the brain of the human body. The number of the two-dimensional images corresponding to a certain area in the three-dimensional image is inversely related to the layer thickness of the two-dimensional image, wherein the layer thickness is the length covered by the two-dimensional image in the direction perpendicular to the scanned object.
In one possible implementation, step S11 may be implemented based on a neural network.
The embodiment of the disclosure can train the neural network first to obtain various parameters of the neural network. The neural network here may be a U-Net neural network.
An attention mechanism can be introduced in the training process of the neural network to more reasonably distribute the weight on each channel of the characteristic diagram in the neural network, so that the neural network can more specifically identify the first infarction region, the sensitivity of the neural network to the first infarction region is improved, and the accuracy of identifying the middle cerebral artery high-density characteristic image is further improved.
The embodiment of the disclosure can use the weighted cross entropy function as the loss function of the neural network training, obtain the difference between the predicted value and the true value according to the loss function, and then adjust the parameter of the neural network by using the difference.
In one possible implementation, segmenting a first infarct region representing a high density feature of middle cerebral arteries on the three-dimensional image comprises: and segmenting the first infarct area in the three-dimensional image by utilizing the neural network after parameters are adjusted by a loss function, wherein the loss function is obtained by combining a weighted cross entropy and a Tverseky loss function.
For convenience of understanding, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the loss function obtained based on the combination of the weighted cross entropy and the Tversky loss function is expressed by using formula (1).
L Comb =αL WBCE +(1-α)L Tversky (1)
Wherein L is Comb Represents a loss function, L, in one embodiment of the disclosure WBCE Represents a weighted cross entropy function, L Tversky Denotes the Tversky loss function and alpha denotes a weight, which may be an empirical value.
Because the first infarcted area is smaller in volume than other areas on the image, the unbalanced-like problem is often generated during the neural network training. Therefore, the loss function obtained by combining the weighted cross entropy and the Tverseky loss function can reduce the probability of class imbalance to a certain extent, improve the accuracy of segmenting the first infarct area, and lay a good foundation for accurately identifying the middle cerebral artery high-density characteristic image in the follow-up process.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image may be preprocessed before the first peduncle region is segmented.
In a possible implementation manner, before step S11, the method further includes: determining a brain midline on the three-dimensional image, wherein the brain midline is used for dividing the brain into the left brain area and the right brain area on the image; and rotating the three-dimensional image to a preset position based on the middle line of the brain.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a line segment dividing the brain into a left brain region and a right brain region on the image may be determined on the three-dimensional image, that is, the position of the line segment on the image is determined, and the line segment is defined as a brain midline.
In the disclosed embodiments, a brain midline segmentation model may be utilized to determine a brain midline. The method for determining the cerebral midline in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited.
Since the relative positions of the human body and the CT apparatus are often not consistent each time the three-dimensional image is acquired, the brain directions representing the directions of the brain portions on the three-dimensional images may be different, and the brain directions may be represented by the directions of the brain central lines. Therefore, before the first infarct area is divided, the three-dimensional images can be rotated so that the brain directions represented by the three-dimensional images are consistent. In this way, the accuracy of segmenting the first infarct region can be improved.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating adjustment of a brain direction according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, an included angle ω between a brain midline l and a Y-axis direction may be obtained. The Y-axis direction may be a direction perpendicular to the ground direction. The three-dimensional image is then rotated so that the angle ω is 0 °, at which time the midline l of the brain coincides with the Y-axis. By the above processing, the brain direction indicated in each three-dimensional image coincides with the Y-axis direction. Therefore, the brain directions shown in the respective three-dimensional images are the same.
Since the part of the two-dimensional image outside the brain region is mainly the background region, the proportion of the part of the brain region on the two-dimensional image is slightly larger. In order to suppress the influence of the background region on the effect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure may perform binarization processing on the two-dimensional image according to a preset pixel threshold, where the preset pixel threshold enables a maximum connected domain determined on the binarized two-dimensional image to include the brain region. For example: the pixel threshold may be set to 100-200.
After the binarization of the two-dimensional images, the minimum area including the brain, namely the image area including the brain and having the minimum area value in each layer of two-dimensional images is determined. The smallest area that includes the brain is defined herein as the brain area. Each layer of the two-dimensional image may correspond to a brain region. The coordinates of the center point of the brain region in each layer of the two-dimensional image may be the same. Then, coordinates of each corner point of each brain region are obtained, and the brain region with the largest region area value is determined, namely the target brain region is determined. And cutting each layer of two-dimensional image by using the target brain area (each corner coordinate) to obtain a cut image, namely a brain image.
Then, the brain image can be grayed according to the CT value of each pixel in the brain image, and the result after graying is still a two-dimensional image.
For example, the CT value of the pixel in the brain image with the CT value smaller than the first CT threshold may be set as the first CT threshold, and the CT value of the pixel in the brain image with the CT value larger than the second CT threshold may be set as the second CT threshold. For example: the first CT threshold may be set to 0HU and the second CT threshold to 100 HU. Then, the pixel value of each pixel is converted from the CT value of each pixel. Illustratively, the pixel value of each pixel may be obtained using equation (2).
Figure BDA0003554558540000061
Wherein the minimum CT value represents the minimum value of the CT values of each pixel in the brain image. Similarly, the maximum CT value represents the maximum value of the CT values of each pixel in the brain image.
In practical application, the positive samples containing the middle cerebral artery high density characteristics in the samples for training the neural network are far less than the negative samples not containing the middle cerebral artery high density characteristics. Therefore, after preprocessing the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image, the embodiments of the present disclosure can flip and rotate the CT image (three-dimensional image and two-dimensional image) containing the middle cerebral artery high-density feature, so that the number of the positive samples and the negative samples is close to 1: 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a mapping relationship between a first infarct area and a connected domain according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
As shown in fig. 3, since the three-dimensional image a corresponds to at least one two-dimensional image (two-dimensional images B1-B4) and the three-dimensional image a and the two-dimensional images B1-B4 represent the same object, the coordinates of the voxels of the three-dimensional image a and the coordinates of the pixels of the two-dimensional images B1-B4 may have a mapping relationship.
The same first dead region a may correspond to a plurality of connected domains. According to the mapping relation, areas corresponding to the first infarction area a can be determined on the two-dimensional images B1-B4, and the areas are defined as connected areas B1-B4. The connected domains b1-b4 can be distributed on a multilayer two-dimensional image. Connected domains b1-b4 may characterize cross-sections of different portions of the same first infarct region.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the connected domain corresponding to the first pedestrial area, the first pedestrial area may be preliminarily screened.
For example, a first threshold of the number of pixels may be preset, the number of pixels in the connected component may be determined, and the segmentation result (the first infarct region) corresponding to the connected component whose number of pixels is smaller than the first threshold of the number of pixels may be excluded. Therefore, wrong segmentation results can be eliminated, for example, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio and low contrast of the CT image, the noise is identified as the first infarcted area by mistake; or erroneously identify a tissue having a cross-sectional area that is too small to be the first infarct region as the first infarct region. Therefore, the probability of misjudging the first infarct region can be reduced; the accuracy of determining the first infarct region is improved.
For example, a third CT threshold may be preset, the average value of CT values of pixels in the connected domain is determined, and the segmentation result with the average value of CT values greater than the third CT threshold is excluded. Therefore, the segmentation result of identifying the skeleton or the calcified blood vessel as the first infarction region by mistake can be eliminated, the probability of judging the first infarction region by mistake is reduced, and the accuracy of determining the first infarction region is improved.
Because the high-density characteristics of the middle cerebral artery mostly appear in the lateral cerebrum fissure area, the first infarct area can be further screened according to the local position of the first infarct area.
Generally, the pixel value of the lateral fissure region of the brain in the CT image is smaller, so the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine whether the first infarct region corresponding to the connected domain is located in the lateral fissure according to the pixel values of the region where the connected domain is located and the peripheral region thereof, and further exclude the first infarct region not located in the lateral fissure position.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is determined whether the connected component is located in the lateral fissure, and the connected component located in the lateral fissure is determined as the target connected component by step S13. Therefore, first infarcted areas with identification errors can be eliminated, and accuracy of identifying the middle cerebral artery high-density characteristic image is improved.
In one possible implementation, step S13 includes: performing expansion treatment on the connected domain to obtain an expanded connected domain; determining a first average value of pixel values of M pixels with minimum pixel values in each of at least two inflation connected domains under the condition that at least two inflation connected domains are intersected; and taking the first average value with the smallest value as the pixel average value of each expansion connected domain in the at least two expansion connected domains.
In one possible implementation, in a case where the inflation connected domains do not intersect with each other, an average value of pixel values of N pixels having a smallest pixel value in a single inflation connected domain is taken as the pixel average value of the single inflation connected domain.
The dilation process may be performed by performing a convolution process on a partial region (connected component) of the image using a convolution kernel to obtain a dilated connected component. Therefore, the pixel values of the pixels in the range of the dilated connected component are merged with the pixel values of the connected component and the area surrounding the connected component. It can be determined whether the connected component is located in the lateral fissure or not by calculating the average of the pixels of the dilated connected component.
If the dilated connected component does not intersect with any connected component, embodiments of the present disclosure may sort the pixel values in the connected component from small to large, select the first N smallest pixels, determine the pixel average value of the N pixels, and use the pixel average value of the N pixels as the average pixel value of the dilated connected component, where N is a positive integer.
If at least two expansion communication domains intersect, two or more expansion communication domains have overlapping portions. The pixel values in the intersected expansion connected domains are sorted from small to large respectively, the first M pixels with the smallest pixel values in the intersected expansion connected domains are determined, the pixel average values of the M pixels are determined respectively, namely the first average values of the intersected expansion connected domains are obtained, and the first average value with the smallest value is used as the average pixel value of the intersected expansion connected domains. Therefore, the calculation amount of calculating the average pixel value can be reduced, the determined value can represent the average pixel value of the connected domain, and the step of judging whether the first peduncle area is located in the lateral cerebrum fissure is simplified.
In step 14, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines a second infarct region corresponding to the target connected domain in the three-dimensional image by using the mapping relationship between the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image. The embodiment of the disclosure realizes the purpose of screening the first peduncle area. The second peduncle area is a segmentation result obtained by screening the first peduncle area.
Since the middle cerebral artery high density features generally appear in only one brain region (left brain region or right brain region), the second infarct region can be further screened according to whether the second infarct region appears in only a unilateral brain region.
Generally, if a doctor can judge which side brain area of a patient the middle cerebral artery high density features appear in through a patient case or by other auxiliary means, and can obtain clinical affected side information, the second infarct area of the other side brain area on the image can be directly excluded.

Therefore, the second infarct area in the lateral brain area can be excluded, and the accuracy of identifying the high-density characteristic image can be improved.
In a possible implementation manner, in a case that a difference value between volumes of second infarct areas of the two brain areas is not greater than a preset volume difference threshold, determining a second infarct area in the brain area with a larger average CT value of the second infarct areas in the two brain areas as a target infarct area, includes: acquiring an average CT value of a target connected domain in each layer of the two-dimensional image; determining a second infarct region within the brain region having the largest said average CT value as the target infarct region.

According to the mapping relation, the target infarction region can correspond to a plurality of connected domains on the two-dimensional image, and the connected domain corresponding to the target infarction region is defined as a first connected domain.
In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the disclosure may perform modeling according to the characteristics of the image omics, and screen the target infarction region. The cinematology features may include: number of pixels, CT value, etc.
For example, the second pixel number threshold and the fourth CT threshold may be preset, and the pixel number of the single first connected domain and the CT average value of the single first connected domain may be determined. And judging whether a plurality of first communication domains corresponding to the target infarction region have first communication domains of which the pixel number of the first communication domains is greater than a second pixel number threshold value or the CT average value of the first communication domains is greater than a fourth CT threshold value. If the connected domain exists, the target infarct area corresponding to the first connected domain is reserved, and if the connected domain does not exist, the target infarct area corresponding to the first connected domain is excluded.
By screening the target infarction region, the sensitivity of identifying the middle cerebral artery high-density sign image can be ensured, the false positive target infarction region can be eliminated, and the accuracy of identifying the middle cerebral artery high-density sign image is improved.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, at least one connected domain corresponding to a first peduncle region segmented from a three-dimensional image is determined by using a mapping relation between coordinates of the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image, a target connected domain is determined in the connected domain, and then a second peduncle region corresponding to the target connected domain in the three-dimensional image is determined according to the mapping relation between the coordinates of the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image; and finally, determining a target infarction region according to the volume of the second infarction region.
