在图像分割过程中,传统区域生长法种子点的选取需人工判定,工作量较大,效率较低。为了减少种子点选取时的用户交互量,本文提出了一种基于种子点位置预判的改进区域生长算法。该算法基于血管骨架线具有代表性的特点,通过坐标系的映射转换来预判图像中肝脏管道的位置,减少了人工参与,实现了图像种子点数目和位置的自动确定。肝脏图像分割实验结果表明,该算法在较少的用户交互情况下,实现了序列图像的种子点位置预判,获得了较满意的图像分割效果。 相似文献

Snake(主动轮廓线)模型,具有良好的获取特定区域内目标边缘的能力,是一种极为有效的图像分割方法,利用围绕目标心形的圆环内平均灰度差异来确定初始轮廓点,对噪声的干扰有一定的抑制作用,并减少了人工选取的工作量,将离散Snake算法与分段DP算法有效结合来获取肝脏CT图像的特征边缘点,以提高Snake算法的收敛速度.最后利用单调性原则对肝脏CT图像的边缘点进行分区,在各个单调区间内采用曲线拟合的方法来获得连续的肝脏CT图像边缘,最后用Roipoly函数,由这些坐标显示原输入图像,得到BW的二值图像,最终可以显示完整的CT值没有改变的肝脏图像. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel approach for detection of Fatty liver disease (FLD) and Heterogeneous liver using textural analysis of liver ultrasound images. The proposed system is able to automatically assign a representative region of interest (ROI) in a liver ultrasound which is subsequently used for diagnosis. This ROI is analyzed using Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) and a number of statistical features are obtained. A multi-class linear support vector machine (SVM) is then used for classification. The proposed system gives an overall accuracy of ~95% which clearly illustrates the efficacy of the system. 相似文献

Ventriculomegaly is the most commonly detected abnormality in neonatal brain. It can be defined as a condition when the human brain ventricle system becomes dilated. This in turn increases the intracranial pressure inside the skull resulting in progressive enlargement of the head. Sometimes it may also cause mental disability or death. For these reasons early detection of ventriculomegaly has become an important task. In order to identify ventriculomegaly from neonatal brain ultrasound images, we propose an automated image processing based approach that measures the anterior horn width as the distance between medial wall and floor of the lateral ventricle at the widest point. Measurement is done in the plane of the scan at the level of the intraventricular foramina. Our study is based on neonatal brain ultrasound images in the midline coronal view. In addition to ventriculomegaly detection, this work also includes both cross sectional and longitudinal study of anterior horn width of lateral ventricles. Experiments were carried out on brain ultrasound images of 96 neonates with gestational age ranging from 26 to 39 weeks and results have been verified with the ground truth provided by doctors. Accuracy of the proposed scheme is quite promising. 相似文献

This paper introducesnear-set based segmentation method for extraction and quantification of mucin regions for detecting mucinouscarcinoma (MC which is a sub type of Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC)). From histology point of view, the presence of mucin is one of the indicators for detection of this carcinoma. In order to detect MC, the proposed method majorly includes pre-processing by colour correction, colour transformation followed by near-set based segmentation and post-processing for delineating only mucin regions from the histological images at 40×. The segmentation step works in two phases such as Learn and Run.In pre-processing step, white balance method is used for colour correction of microscopic images (RGB format). These images are transformed into HSI (Hue, Saturation, and Intensity) colour space and H-plane is extracted in order to get better visual separation of the different histological regions (background, mucin and tissue regions). Thereafter, histogram in H-plane is optimally partitioned to find set representation for each of the regions. In Learn phase, features of typical mucin pixel and unlabeled pixels are learnt in terms of coverage of observed sets in the sample space surrounding the pixel under consideration. On the other hand, in Run phase the unlabeled pixels are clustered as mucin and non-mucin based on its indiscernibilty with ideal mucin, i.e. their feature values differ within a tolerance limit. This experiment is performed for grade-I and grade-II of MC and hence percentage of average segmentation accuracy is achieved within confidence interval of [97.36 97.70] for extracting mucin areas. In addition, computation of percentage of mucin present in a histological image is provided for understanding the alteration of such diagnostic indicator in MC detection. 相似文献

Reliable sources report that errors in drug administration are increasing the number of harmed or killed inpatients, during healthcare. This development is in contradiction to patient safety norms. A correctly designed hospital-wide ubiquitous system, using advanced inpatient identification and matching techniques, should provide correct medicine and dosage at the right time. Researchers are still making grouping proof protocol proposals based on the EPC Global Class 1 Generation 2 ver. 1.2 standard tags, for drug administration. Analyses show that such protocols make medication unsecure and hence fail to guarantee inpatient safety. Thus, the original goal of patient safety still remains. In this paper, a very recent proposal (EKATE) upgraded by a cryptographic function is shown to fall short of expectations. Then, an alternative proposal IMS-NFC which uses a more suitable and newer technology; namely Near Field Communication (NFC), is described. The proposed protocol has the additional support of stronger security primitives and it is compliant to ISO communication and security standards. Unlike previous works, the proposal is a complete ubiquitous system that guarantees full patient safety; and it is based on off-the-shelf, new technology products available in every corner of the world. To prove the claims the performance, cost, security and scope of IMS-NFC are compared with previous proposals. Evaluation shows that the proposed system has stronger security, increased patient safety and equal efficiency, at little extra cost. 相似文献

User-based estimation of intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries leads to subjectivity in its decision support systems, while being used as a cardiovascular risk marker.
During automated computer-based decision support, we had developed segmentation strategies that follow three main courses
of our contributions: (a) signal processing approach combined with snakes and fuzzy K-means (CULEXsa), (b) integrated approach based on seed and line detection followed by probability based connectivity and classification (CALEXsa), and (c) morphological approach with watershed transform and fitting (WS). These grayscale segmentation algorithms yielding carotid wall boundaries has certain bias along with their own merits. We
recently developed a fusion technique that was helpful in removing bias which combines two carotid wall boundaries using ground
truth as an ideal marker. Here we have extended this fusion concept by taking merits of these multiple boundaries, so called,
Inter-Greedy (IG) approach. Further we estimate IMT from these fused boundaries from multiple sources. Starting from the technique with the overall least system error (the snake-based
one), we iteratively swapped the vertices of the profiles until we minimized its overall distance with respect to ground truth.
The fusion boundary was the Inter-Greedy boundary. We used the polyline distance metric for performance evaluation and error
minimization. We ran the segmentation protocol over the database of 200 carotid longitudinal B-mode ultrasound images and
compared the performance of all the four techniques (CALEXia, CULEXsa, WS, IG). The mean error of Inter-Greedy technique yielded 0.32 ± 0.44 pixel (20.0 ± 27.5 μm) for the LI boundary (a 33.3% ± 5.6% improvement over initial best performing technique) and 0.21 ± 0.34 pixel (13.1 ± 21.3 μm) for MA boundary (a 32.3% ± 6.7% improvement). IMT measurement error for Greedy method was 0.74 ± 0.75 pixel (46.3 ± 46.9 μm), a 43.5% ± 2.4% improvement. 相似文献

We present an automated method for segmentation of epithelial cells in images taken from ThinPrep scenes by a digital camera in a cytology lab. The method covers both steps of localization of cell objects in low resolution and detection of cytoplasm and nucleus boundary in high resolution. The underlying method makes use of geometric active contours as a powerful tool of segmentation. We also provide the analysis of the connected cells. For this purpose an automatic circular decomposition method is incorporated and adapted to the application by changing its segmentation condition. The results are evaluated numerically and compared with those of previous work in literature. 相似文献

Day by day, huge amount of information is collected in medical databases. These databases include quite interesting information
that could be exploited in diagnosis of illnesses and medical treatment of patients. Classification of these data is getting
harder as the databases are expanded. On the other hand, automated image analysis and processing is one of the most promising
areas of computer vision used in medical diagnosis and treatment. In this context, retinal fundus images, offering very high
resolutions that are sufficient for most of the clinical cases, provide many indications that could be exploited in diagnosing
and screening retinal degenerations or diseases. Consequently, there is a strong demand in developing automated evaluation
systems to utilize the information stored in the medical databases. This study proposes an automatic method for segmentation
of ARMD in retinal fundus images. The method used in the automated system extracts lesions of the ARMD by employing a statistical
method. In order to do this, the statistical segmentation method is first used to extract the healthy area of the macula that
is more familiar and regular than the unhealthy parts. Here, characteristic images of the patterns of the macula are extracted
and used to segment the healthy textures of an eye. In addition to this, blood vessels are also extracted and then classified
as healthy regions. Finally, the inverse image of the segmented image is generated which determines the unhealthy regions
of the macula. The performance of the method is examined on various quality retinal fundus images. Segmented images are also
compared with consecutive images of the same patient to follow up the changes in the disease. 相似文献

Performing the segmentation of vasculature in the retinal images having pathology is a challenging problem. This paper presents
a novel approach for automated segmentation of the vasculature in retinal images. The approach uses the intensity information
from red and green channels of the same retinal image to correct non-uniform illumination in color fundus images. Matched
filtering is utilized to enhance the contrast of blood vessels against the background. The enhanced blood vessels are then
segmented by employing spatially weighted fuzzy c-means clustering based thresholding which can well maintain the spatial
structure of the vascular tree segments. The proposed method’s performance is evaluated on publicly available DRIVE and STARE
databases of manually labeled images. On the DRIVE and STARE databases, it achieves an area under the receiver operating characteristic
curve of 0.9518 and 0.9602 respectively, being superior to those presented by state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches and
comparable to those obtained with the supervised methods. 相似文献

肝癌是威胁人类健康的重大疾病之一。从医学影像中将肝脏组织准确地分割出来,是计算机辅助肝脏疾病诊断与手术规划中一个重要环节。由于肝脏的个体差异,周围器官的灰度值相似等因素,从CT图像中精准分割肝脏存在一定困难。提出一种结合卷积神经网络和超像素的CT图像肝脏自动分割方法。首先利用卷积神经网络进行目标检测,自动定位肝脏区域,再利用超像素算法对肝脏进行分割,最后进行腐蚀、膨胀、中值滤波等后处理。本文采用3DIRCADb公开数据集对提出的肝脏自动分割算法进行评估和验证,结果表明肝脏自动分割的DICE指标为0.951,VOE指标为0.0917,RVD指标为-0.018,显示出较好的分割精度。 相似文献

由于医学图像的对比度较低以及各种组织器官的边缘往往较为模糊,医学图像的分割是医学图像处理中的一个经典难题。如果能将各种分割对象的先验信息加入到分割算法中,将会改善分割效果。针对CT图像中的前列腺器官分割问题,利用水平集函数获得初始分割轮廓,结合从手工分割图像中获得的形状和纹理先验信息,采用遗传算法来演化分割轮廓。仿真实验结果证明该方法能有效地分割出低对比度的医学器官。 相似文献

This work presents a new method for segmenting coronary arteries automatically in computed tomography angiography (CTA) data sets. The method automatically isolates heart and coronary arteries from surrounding structures and search for the probable location of coronary arteries by 3D region growing. Based on the dilation of the probable location, discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) and λ?–?mean operation complete accurate detection of coronary arties. Finally, the proposed method is tested on clinical CTA data-sets. The results on clinical datasets show that the proposed method is able to extract each branch of arteries when comparing to commercial software GE Healthcare and delineated ground truth. 相似文献
