- Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is one of the diseases with the highest mortality rate, among which coronary heart disease has the highest incidence.
- Coronary heart disease is a series of clinical diseases caused by atherosclerosis leading to narrowing of the coronary lumen, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, including angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, myocardial failure, arrhythmia and sudden death. Therefore, coronary stenosis, plaque detection and other results have guiding significance for diagnosis and subsequent treatment, and coronary centerline extraction based on cardiac coronary angiography (CTA, Computed Tomography Angiography) images is a prerequisite.
- CTA Computed Tomography Angiography
- the naming methods in the related art are mainly based on two categories: the first category is based on knowledge and modeling, and this category of methods is mainly based on matching the target blood vessels with a general model based on statistics; the second category is learning-based classification algorithms, This class of methods is based on the extraction of artificially designed features for centerline classification and naming.
- Another scheme uses a tree bidirectional long short term memory network (LSTM, Long Short Term) to learn tree structure information for classification and naming. Whether it is the naming of centerlines based on modeling criticism or the naming of treelines based on rules, these two related schemes have at least the problems of complex design and insufficient generalization ability.
- LSTM long short term memory network
- the main challenge of the vessel naming task lies in the huge differences and variability among individuals.
- the clinical basis of vessel naming is the blood supply site of the blood vessel, so the core learning information should be the blood supply site, that is, the position of the blood vessel relative to the heart. Any peeling or loss
- the methods based on the relative position of the heart have a certain degree of information loss, resulting in low accuracy and weak generalization ability.
- the application example of the present disclosure proposes a segmentation-based end-to-end naming processing method.
- Most of the related technologies are based on the workflow of segmenting blood vessels first, then extracting the centerline, and finally naming the centerline (implemented by classifying the centerline).
- the application example of the present disclosure is to reconstruct the problem: the problem of naming the centerline is reconstructed into the instance segmentation problem of the blood vessel mask image, that is, after the centerline is extracted, the centerline is not directly named, but the blood vessel mask image (each pixel point There are certain label names) for segmentation, and vote on the segmentation results to determine the name of the centerline.
- Pixel-based segmentation model training will provide more intensive annotation and information, and in order to preserve the blood supply position information of blood vessels, the mask images of each chamber of the heart are superimposed on the mask images of coronary vessels as input. Such a process completely preserves all information and reduces noise compared to the original image, does not require manual feature extraction, does not require rule-based design, and is easy to embed into existing workflows.
- the application example of the present disclosure includes a training process and a prediction process, wherein the training process includes the following steps: the first step is to prepare the input: obtain the cardiac coronary mask image and the whole cardiac mask image through the segmentation model, superimpose the two mask images and process as The final input; the second step is to prepare the supervision data: first obtain the correctly named coronary centerline, and then associate each pixel label of the coronary mask image with each centerline closest to the coronary centerline; the first Three-step multi-label segmentation training using Res-Vnet type and dice loss.
- the prediction process includes the following steps: the first step is the same as the preparation input step of the training process, that is, the mask image as the final input and the extracted coronary centerline are obtained; the second step is segmented by the trained neural network; the third step is based on The segmentation votes and names the extracted centerline segments; the fourth step extracts the target blood vessels concerned by doctors through post-processing and corrects possible errors.
- the application example of the present disclosure constructs the blood vessel centerline naming task into a blood vessel mask image classification task, thereby reducing the learning difficulty and improving the robustness of the centerline naming.
- the application example of the present disclosure takes the blood vessel mask image and the heart mask image together as input, which reduces the difficulty of direct learning of the original image, and retains all necessary information required for all naming, so that the learning-based method is compared with the traditional method based on The regular tree line naming algorithm has better generalization ability.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of an application example according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3 , an image processing method is proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The image processing process can be roughly divided into four steps.
- the coronary artery mask map 31 and the heart mask map 32 are obtained respectively, and the two mask maps are merged as a combined mask map.
- the centerline of the coronary artery mask is extracted, and the coronary artery centerline composed of multiple coronary artery centerline segments (target sub-objects) is obtained as the target object.
- the merged mask image is then superimposed with the target object to obtain a target image 33 including the target object (coronary center line).
- the target image is segmented through the trained neural network 34, and a segmentation result 35 of each foreground pixel point (ie, the pixel point belonging to the coronary artery) in the target image is obtained.
- the name 36 of each coronary artery center line segment of the coronary artery center line in the target image is determined by voting for naming.
- the voting naming process can be as follows:
- For each coronary artery center line segment determine the pixels contained in it as the second target pixel point, then count the names corresponding to the segmentation results of these second target pixel points, and select the name with the largest number as the coronary artery center line segment. The name.
- post-processing can be performed to retain the most complete or longest branch of the coronary artery centerline segment containing multiple branches with the same name as the final result. Correct the discontinuous coronary center line segment. For example, the parent node (parent line segment) and child node (child line segment) of a center line segment have the same name, but the coronary artery center line segment is inconsistent with their names. The coronary centerline segment is modified to the same name as its parent and child nodes.
- the training process of the neural network used for segmenting the target image in the second step may be as follows: first, prepare a training image, and the training image may be in the same form as the target image, that is, the mask image of the coronary artery of the heart. , The image obtained by superimposing the heart mask image and the coronary centerline is used as the training image.
- the generation method of the supervision data can be as follows: firstly, the coronary artery centerline can be labeled by segment naming, so that the label of the pixel point in each coronary artery centerline segment is the corresponding coronary artery centerline segment the label name.
- the pixels that belong to the foreground and do not belong to the coronary center line segment are respectively used as the first target pixel points, and then the label (also the label) of the nearest pixel point to the first target pixel point on the coronary center line can be used. as the label of the first target pixel.
- a training image containing labels can be obtained, and a trained neural network can be obtained by inputting the training images containing labels into a neural network for training.
- the neural network can use the Res-Vnet neural network as the base model, and use the dice loss as the loss function to perform multi-label segmentation training to obtain the final training result.
- the coronary artery centerline segmentation naming task can be constructed as an instance segmentation task of the blood vessel mask image; at the same time, the image processing method proposed in the application example of the present disclosure can use the cardiac coronary mask image and the cardiac mask image as the Input, compared with the original image of the coronary artery as input, simplifies the input environment, reduces noise, and retains all tree structure information and blood supply position information; in addition, in the naming process, the segmentation results are voted.
- the naming of the coronary centerline segment depends on the segmentation labels that appear the most in the segment of pixels.
- the naming results are further post-processed. Since the segmentation results depend on the training data, post-processing can maintain the robustness of the final processing results even when the training data is small.
- the image processing method of the application example of the present disclosure proposes a new problem architecture, that is, the centerline segmentation naming task is constructed as an instance segmentation task of a blood vessel mask image; at the same time, a new input idea is provided.
- this technology combines two A kind of mask image is used as input, which simplifies the input environment, reduces noise and preserves all tree structure information and blood supply position information; from the result of segmentation back to the centerline naming, the voting mechanism is adopted, and the naming of the blood vessel segment depends on the segment Click on the category with the most segmentation labels, so that even if the segmentation results are not good, as long as the segmentation results are generally correct, the centerline naming will be correct; post-processing based on prior knowledge, the learning algorithm depends on the training data, and the post-processing is based on the training data. It can also maintain the robustness of the final result when it is small.
- the innovative points of the application examples of the present disclosure include at least: a centerline naming strategy based on coronary multi-label segmentation; a voting strategy for returning from mask image segmentation to centerline naming; and a post-processing method based on segmentation results and prior knowledge .
