Description

ROI (region of interest) area identification method and system for SPECT (Single photon emission computed tomography) image
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical image processing, in particular to a method and a system for identifying a region of interest (ROI) of a Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) image.
Background
Medical imaging technology is one of the most important and fastest growing fields in the modern medical field, and has undergone the development from traditional structural imaging modes such as traditional X-ray imaging, computed tomography (ComputerizedTomography, CT), ultrasonic imaging and the like to functional imaging modes such as single photon emission computed tomography (Singlephotonemission computedtomography, SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PositronEmission Tomography, PET) and the like, and has prompted the development of various mixed imaging modes such as SPECT/CT, PET/CT and the like with higher quality.
However, SPECT has poor imaging quality, and for example, SPECT whole-body bone scan imaging requires that whole-body bone imaging data be stored in a 1024×256 data matrix, with high image resolution and low contrast. Scientists have been dedicated to study how to help improve the efficiency of medical practitioners in medical image analysis work and reduce medical costs through computer technology. Although computer-assisted medical technology has a long history, it has not progressed to the rapid development stage until convolutional neural networks have emerged. The convolution layer in the convolution neural network can automatically extract deep features from the medical image, and through further extraction of the deep features, the convolution neural network can execute a series of medical image auxiliary tasks, wherein the segmentation task can achieve outlining of a region of interest (RegionOfInterest, ROI), and is a basis for ROI extraction, clinical tests, specific tissue measurement and three-dimensional reconstruction.
However, medical science has difficulty in obtaining a large number of usable data sets, and the U-Net proposal enables a deep semantic segmentation model to obtain better results on small data sets. Segmentation of SPECT images is difficult with other imaging modalities due to the large differences between images and the high sensitivity of the model, which can easily manifest non-ROI results in the delineated hot-zone.
Symmetry is an important feature of an object and is also an important component of the human visual perception tissue system. In medical whole-body imaging, symmetry is manifested not only on the peripheral contours, but also on organ and tissue imaging, as well as on the approximate symmetry. Therefore, in the application of medical auxiliary clinic, the symmetry theory has important value, namely, by combining the symmetry of the medical image, doctors can pay more attention to important areas, and the working efficiency of medical image analysis of doctors is improved. In SPECT bone imaging of lung cancer patients, the high-temperature region symmetrical to the spine can be generally considered as normal clinical manifestation, but existing semantic segmentation networks are only sensitive to the hot region (high-absorption region), some of which will be described as ROIs, affecting the actual work. The peripheral outline is the most main symmetrical presentation mode in SPECT whole body imaging, limbs and ribs are orderly arranged on two sides of the vertebra, and the size, the position and the shape are basically the same. By combining the peripheral outline, the method can help us find symmetrical information of the tissue and provide more accurate ROI, but the current mainstream model is difficult to segment out the hot zone and the peripheral curve.
Based on the problems, the existing segmentation network has poor sketching effect on the ROI in the SPECT image, and the method for directly introducing symmetry judgment in the sketching task of the ROI is less.

All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The invention aims to provide a flow chart of a ROI region identification method of a SPECT image, which can improve the identification precision of the ROI region in the SPECT image.
In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings and appended detailed description.
As shown in fig. 1, the invention discloses a ROI area identification method of SPECT images, comprising:
step 101: the front and rear bitmaps of the tester are acquired from the SPECT imaging device.
Specifically, a DICOM format file containing bone scan data of the front and back body positions of a tester is obtained from a SPECT imaging device, and a data matrix of the front bitmap and the back bitmap is derived therefrom.
Further, the step 101 includes:
step 1.1: and (3) performing allergy experiments and other tabu examination on the bone imaging agent on the testers, injecting a certain dose of the bone imaging agent into the patients under the condition of meeting the requirements, collecting the metabolic condition of the radioactive drug in the patients by using a nuclide detector, and obtaining the whole-body bone imaging image and DICOM file of the patients by using a SPECT system.
Step 1.2: because the DICOM file has complex content, the content is analyzed by a program, and bone scan data of front and rear positions of a tester are extracted and stored.
Step 102: and constructing a parallel contour segmentation network and a hot zone segmentation network.
Further, the step 102 includes:
step 2.1: the contour sketching branch adopts an unsupervised method to divide the body contour, the part adopts an active contour model based on areas, the pixel information of the image is regarded as energy, the image dividing problem is skillfully converted into a problem for solving the minimum value of the energy functional, and the loss function is as follows:
wherein the method comprises the steps ofDs is the euclidean length, and,is the length of curve C, f is the image to be segmented, Ω c Is a closed subset of f over the image domain Ω, the mean of the outside and inside of curve C being denoted as C, respectively 1 And c 2 Lambda is used to control the regularization process and c 1 、c 2 Parameters of the balance between.
The curve C gradually approaches the peripheral contour under the drive of the loss function and finally cuts out the desired contour.
Step 2.2: the hotspot segmentation branch segments the hotspots of the image.
The hot zone segmentation branches can adopt common semantic segmentation networks such as U-Net, U-Net++, and the like, and the deep semantic segmentation networks can obtain better performance on a small amount of medical data segmentation.
Step 103: and extracting peripheral outlines of the front bitmap and the rear bitmap based on the outline segmentation network, and extracting hot areas of the front bitmap and the rear bitmap based on the hot area segmentation network.
Further, the extracting the peripheral outline in step 103 includes:
step 3.1: and extracting the outline.
In the contour segmentation result, the value of the body region in the image depends on the intensity value of each part, the background filling part is 0, and the contour is represented by 1. For this case, a closed contour is found using an algorithm. In the matrix, the contour may be represented as a set of points, and the closed contour extracted from the result may be represented as a list containing m-term (n, 1, 2) matrices, where m represents the number of closed contours present in the result and n is the number of points contained in a contour. There are also some noise profiles that may be affected in the unsupervised results, so the matrix with the largest n value is selected from among them to extract the profile point matrix.
Step 3.2: and constructing a contour matrix. And (3) creating a full zero matrix (256), traversing the matrix obtained in the step (3.1), and setting the data of the corresponding position in the full zero matrix to be 1 to obtain the contour matrix.
Step 104: an axis of symmetry is determined based on the peripheral profile.
Further, the step 104 finds the symmetry axis based on the contour matrix extracted in the step 3.2, which is essentially a process of finding the symmetry axis maximizing the degree of the left and right side overlapping. For a candidate symmetry axis, we describe its similarity by measuring the degree of coincidence of the profile matrix o with its flip matrix f, the specific coincidence function is as follows:
wherein w and h respectively represent the width and the height of the contour overlapping region, I ij Representing the intensity value magnitude of position (i, j) in the matrix,for the outline matrix +.>And the outline matrix is a turnover matrix obtained after the turnover of the outline matrix.
Since there are a large number of candidate symmetry axes, we use a three-stage algorithm to search to maximize the degree of coincidence of the two sides, where each stage depends on the optimal solution of the previous stage.
Further, the algorithm used in this process includes the steps of:
step 4.1: and determining the contour coincidence range. In the SPECT imaging process, the condition that the placement of the parts such as arms is irregular possibly affects the selection of the subsequent symmetry axis, so that the main imaging areas such as the chest, the abdomen and the like are adopted for determining the contour coincidence in the process, and the method comprises the following steps:
step 4.1.1: an upper bound and a lower bound of the image are determined. The main target area is approximately at the center of the matrix (256), and the non-zero point count is performed by starting with the rows on both sides with x=128 as an initial boundary line, and the rows with the largest non-zero point numbers on both sides are respectively used as an upper boundary and a lower boundary.
Step 4.1.2: and (3) extracting a coincident comparison region, wherein the lower bound obtained in the step 4.1.1 is taken as a starting point, and 60% of the distance between the upper bound and the lower bound is taken as a distance extraction main region.
Step 4.2: since the patient is mostly in a vertical state in the imaging result, and few deviations exist in left and right angles, the optimal points (0, x 1) and (255, x 2) can be directly found on x=0 and x=255 to determine a symmetry axis, so the following three-stage method is constructed to find the symmetry axis:
step 4.2.1: generating a set P1= { [ (0, x1), (255, x2) ]|x1, x2 ε [0,255], x1, x2=8k, k ε N }, and obtaining a combination [ (0, best_x1), (255, best_x2) ] in the set P1, which maximizes the coincidence function S.
Step 4.2.2: generating a set P2= { [ (0, x1), (255, x2) ] |x1∈ [ best_x1-4, best_x1+4], x2∈ [ best_x2-4, best_x2+4], x1, x2=k, k∈n }, and obtaining a combination [ (0, best_x1), (255, best_x2) ] in the set P2, which maximizes the coincidence function S.
Step 4.2.3: generating a set P3= { [ (0, x1), (255, x2) ] |x1 epsilon [ best_x1-2, best_x1+2], x2 epsilon [ best_x2-2, best_x2+2], x1, x2=0.1k, k epsilon N }, and obtaining a combination [ (0, best_x1), (255, best_x2) ] in the set P3, wherein the maximum coincidence function S is obtained by the combination of two points, namely, a symmetry axis obtained by final search.
Step 105: and determining candidate comparison areas of the hot zone according to the symmetry axis, wherein the candidate comparison areas comprise a first comparison area and a second comparison area.
In particular, since the hotspots are not necessarily completely symmetrical, preparation for the next symmetrical similarity calculation may be made by the method of generating candidate regions.
Observing the segmentation results of the segmentation network, wherein the non-ROI hotspots are mainly in two cases: (1) both sides are characterized as hot zones; (2) because the individual's variability predicts non-hotspots as ROIs. Respective candidate contrast regions are generated differently for the two cases.
Further, the step 105 includes:
step 5.1: for the case where the symmetrical portion contains a hot zone, in order to make the contrast area relatively accurate, respectively: (1) extracting all possible hot areas by a threshold segmentation method, and marking the extracted possible hot areas as first hot areas; (2) turning over the prediction result of the hot zone segmentation network according to the symmetry axis to obtain a second hot zone; (3) calculating the superposition area of the second hot area and the first hot area; (4) taking the circle center of the minimum circumscribing circle of each overlapping area as a first circle center, and the radius of the minimum circumscribing circle of the second hot area corresponding to the overlapping area as a first radius to generate a circular first comparison area;
step 5.2: for the ROI of the non-hot zone, it is difficult to find a suitable relative region, so by selecting the center of the second hot zone minimum circumcircle in the symmetrical region of the ROI as the second center, the radius of the second hot zone minimum circumcircle is the second radius, and the second contrast region is generated.
Step 106: and carrying out similarity calculation on the candidate comparison areas to obtain a similarity result.
Specifically, step 106 uses TBR to calculate the similarity of each group of symmetric regions using the following formula:
wherein h is 1 Represents the first hot zone, h 2 Representing candidate contrast regions, h 1 And h 2 For a set of symmetric regions, max (·) and mean (·) represent the maximum versus average function.
Step 107: and determining the ROI region according to the similarity result to obtain an ROI region identification result based on the SPECT image.
In step 107, the similarity of the two regions is determined by using the value 2.2 as a threshold, the contrast region with a similarity value greater than 2.2 is considered as a non-similar region, and the candidate contrast region with a similarity value less than or equal to 2.2 is left as the ROI region.
