在步骤S101中,获取多种模态影像,并对所述多种模态影像进行预处理。In step S101, a plurality of modal images are acquired, and the plurality of modal images are preprocessed.
在这里,本发明实施例在原有影像组学研究中所采用的四种MR解剖成像模态的基础上引入了弥散张量成像、弥散加权成像、动态对比增强成像。因此,本发明实施例中所述的多种模态影像包括四种MR解剖成像以及弥散张量成像、弥散加权成像、动态对比增强成像。其中,所述四种MR解剖成像包括T1加权成像、T1对比增强成像、T2加权成像、T2流动衰减反转恢复序列成像。所述弥散张量成像和弥散加权成像均为根据水分子运动特征来显示脑补特征的成像方式。所述动态对比增强成像则可以反映肿瘤内部的血流动态变化和灌注状况。Here, the embodiment of the present invention introduces diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging based on the four MR anatomical imaging modalities used in the original imaging omics research. Therefore, the plurality of modal images described in the embodiments of the present invention include four MR anatomical imaging and diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging. The four MR anatomical images include T1 weighted imaging, T1 contrast enhanced imaging, T2 weighted imaging, and T2 flow attenuation inversion recovery sequence imaging. The diffusion tensor imaging and the diffusion weighted imaging are imaging modes that display brain complement features according to the motion characteristics of water molecules. The dynamic contrast enhanced imaging can reflect the blood flow dynamics and perfusion status inside the tumor.
在本发明实施例中,不同模态影像通过不同的设备采用不同的成像方式得到。由于图像获取的参数不同,需要先对所述四种MR解剖成像以及弥散张量成像、弥散加权成像、动态对比增强成像进行预处理。示例性地,图2示出了本发明实施例提供的多模态影像组学的分析方法中步骤S101的具体实现流程。In the embodiment of the present invention, different modal images are obtained by different imaging modes through different devices. Due to the different parameters of the image acquisition, the four MR anatomical imaging as well as the diffusion tensor imaging, the diffusion weighted imaging, and the dynamic contrast enhanced imaging need to be pre-processed. Illustratively, FIG. 2 shows a specific implementation flow of step S101 in the analysis method of multi-modal image omics provided by the embodiment of the present invention.
参阅图2,所述步骤S101包括:Referring to FIG. 2, the step S101 includes:
在步骤S201中,获取多种模态影像。In step S201, a plurality of modal images are acquired.

在步骤S202中,对所述多种模态影像进行图像配准、平滑处理和插值处理。In step S202, image registration, smoothing processing, and interpolation processing are performed on the plurality of modal images.
在本发明实施例中,所述预处理包括图像配准、图像平滑以及插值处理。在这里,图像配准是指对一张图像求取一种或者一系列的空间变换,使其与另一张图像上的对应像素达到空间上的一致。其中,图像配准的方式包括相对配准和绝对配准。相对配准是指选择多图像中的一张图像作为参考图像,将其他的相关图像与之配准,其中配准的坐标关系是任意的;绝对配准是指预先定义一个控制网格,将所有的图像相对于这个网格进行配准,即通过分别对各图像进行几何校正来使各个图像的对应像素在空间上是一致的。In the embodiment of the present invention, the preprocessing includes image registration, image smoothing, and interpolation processing. Here, image registration refers to one or a series of spatial transformations of an image to achieve spatial consistency with corresponding pixels on another image. Among them, the way of image registration includes relative registration and absolute registration. Relative registration refers to selecting one image in multiple images as the reference image, and registering other related images, wherein the registration coordinate relationship is arbitrary; absolute registration refers to pre-defining a control grid, which will All images are registered with respect to this grid, ie the corresponding pixels of the respective images are spatially identical by geometrically correcting each image separately.
作为本发明的一个优选示例,可以选取所述四种MR解剖成像中的T1对比增强成像作为基准图像模态;然后通过相似性度量获取空间坐标变换参数;根据所述空间坐标变换参数,将所述多种模态影像中的其余模态影像分别与所述T1对比增强成像进行配准。具体地,在选取T1对比增强成像作为基准图像模态之后,T1对比增强成像中包括的若干张图像均作为基准图像,将其余六种模态影像中的每一张图像与所述T1对比增强成像中的对应图像进行统一的坐标系转换。As a preferred example of the present invention, T1 contrast enhanced imaging in the four MR anatomical images may be selected as a reference image modality; then spatial coordinate transformation parameters are acquired by a similarity metric; and parameters are transformed according to the spatial coordinate transformation parameters The remaining modal images in the plurality of modal images are respectively registered with the T1 contrast enhanced imaging. Specifically, after selecting T1 contrast enhanced imaging as the reference image modality, several images included in the T1 contrast enhanced imaging are used as reference images, and each of the remaining six modal images is contrast enhanced with the T1. The corresponding image in the imaging is subjected to a unified coordinate system conversion.
作为本发明的一个优选实例,所述平滑处理包括均值滤波器、中值滤波器等,优选采用中值滤波器对每一种模态影像进行图像平滑处理。本发明实施例通过平滑处理,将在数据获取、形态学处理的过程中人为引入的不平滑的毛刺、锋利的边缘等情况进行滤除,进一步保证预处理之后的模态影像的纯净度。As a preferred example of the present invention, the smoothing process includes an averaging filter, a median filter, etc., and preferably a median filter is used to perform image smoothing processing on each modal image. In the embodiment of the present invention, the smoothing process is used to filter out the unsmooth burrs and sharp edges introduced during the data acquisition and morphological processing, thereby further ensuring the purity of the modal image after the preprocessing.
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所述的图像配准、图像平滑处理和插值处理的先后顺序根据实际的需求安排;可以对所述模态影像先进行图像配准、再进行平滑处理和插值处理;或者,对所述模态影像先进行平滑处理和插值处理,然后再进行图像配准。具体的先后顺序根据所提取的特征种类而定。比如,当提取灰度特征、形状特征以及大部分纹理特征时,优选先进行图像配准、再进 行平滑处理和插值处理;当提取少量指定的纹理特征时,优选先进行平滑处理和插值处理,然后进行图像配准,以提高特征提取的效果。It should be noted that the sequence of image registration, image smoothing, and interpolation processing according to the embodiments of the present invention is arranged according to actual requirements; image registration, smoothing, and interpolation may be performed on the modal image first. Processing; or, the modal image is first smoothed and interpolated, and then image registration is performed. The specific order is determined according to the type of features extracted. For example, when extracting grayscale features, shape features, and most texture features, it is preferable to perform image registration and re-entry. Line smoothing and interpolation processing; when extracting a small number of specified texture features, it is preferable to perform smoothing and interpolation processing first, and then perform image registration to improve the feature extraction effect.
在步骤S102中,对预处理之后的模态影像进行区域分割,获取每一种模态影像对应的感兴趣区域。In step S102, the modal image after the pre-processing is segmented to obtain a region of interest corresponding to each modal image.
在这里,经过区域分割,每一种模态影像对应一个或者多个感兴趣区域。示例性地,以脑胶质瘤的影响分析为例,对T2流动衰减反转恢复图像分割肿瘤水肿区域,即整个肿瘤区域;对T1对比增强成像分割肿瘤增强区、坏死区;对弥散张量成像、弥散加权成像以及动态对比增强成像则分别分割肿瘤增强区,以提取血流信息和物质分布等动态信息;所述T1加权成像、T2加权成像则用于肿瘤分割结果的对照。Here, after segmentation, each modal image corresponds to one or more regions of interest. Illustratively, taking the influence analysis of glioma as an example, the T2 flow attenuation inversion recovery image segmentation tumor edema area, that is, the entire tumor area; T1 contrast enhanced imaging segmentation tumor enhancement zone, necrotic zone; diffusion tensor Imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging respectively segment the tumor enhancement zone to extract dynamic information such as blood flow information and material distribution; the T1-weighted imaging and T2-weighted imaging are used for comparison of tumor segmentation results.
在步骤S103中,对每一种模态影像的每一个感兴趣区域进行高通量特征提取,获取每一个感兴趣区域对应的特征。In step S103, high-throughput feature extraction is performed on each region of interest of each modal image to acquire features corresponding to each region of interest.

The extracted features include morphological features, grayscale features, and texture features. The morphological features are used to describe the three dimensional features of the tumor. The grayscale features are used to describe grayscale values corresponding to all pixels in each region of interest. The texture features are used to quantify heterogeneity within the tumor. Illustratively, Table 1 gives an example of the composition of a set of features corresponding to each extracted region of interest provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In Table 1, the feature set includes 28 morphological features, 12 grayscale features, and 52 texture features.

在步骤S104中,以所述多种模态影像的每一个感兴趣区域对应的特征组成源特征,采用预设的聚类算法对所述源特征进行特征聚类。In step S104, the source features are composed of features corresponding to each of the plurality of modal images, and the source features are clustered by using a preset clustering algorithm.

示例性地,以下以前面所述的脑胶质瘤的影响分析为例来对聚类进行说明。为了实现特征降维,这里采用划分式聚类算法中的典型方法K均值算法来进行特征聚类。其中,K均值聚类算法的目的是使每一个源特征和聚类中心之间的差的平方和最小化。图3示出了本发明实施例提供的通过K均值聚类算法对脑胶质瘤进行聚类分析的实现流程,包括:Illustratively, the clustering will be described below by taking the influence analysis of the glioma described above as an example. In order to achieve feature dimension reduction, the typical method K-means algorithm in the partitioned clustering algorithm is used to perform feature clustering. Among them, the purpose of the K-means clustering algorithm is to minimize the sum of the squares of the differences between each source feature and the cluster center.

在上式中,xi表示第i个源特征,d2(xi,Cr)表示第i个源特征与第r个聚类中心之间的差的平方,即距离的平方,D表示偏差值,用于衡量K均值算法的效果,偏差值D越小效果越好。In the above formula, x i represents the i-th source feature, and d 2 (x i , C r ) represents the square of the difference between the i-th source feature and the r-th cluster center, that is, the square of the distance, and D represents The deviation value is used to measure the effect of the K-means algorithm. The smaller the deviation value D is, the better the effect is.
经实验得到,通过本发明实施例得到的用于特征聚类的源特征数量可达1564个,聚类后的代表性特征种类可达10大类,远远超过了现有的文献和专利,因此,通过本发明实施例,可以大大地丰富特征聚类前的源特征数量以及特征聚类后的代表性特征种类。It is found that the number of source features for feature clustering obtained by the embodiment of the present invention can reach 1,564, and the representative feature types after clustering can reach 10 categories, far exceeding the existing literature and patents.
