Abstract
The present invention provides a medical image processing method and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: reconstructing a two-dimensional cross-sectional image of an imaged tissue based on a volumetric image of the imaged tissue; projecting a CT value of the imaged tissue along a normal direction of the centerline of the imaged tissue in the two-dimensional cross-sectional image; and, positioning the imaged tissue based on the projection result of the CT value of the imaged tissue.
Claims8
A medical image processing method, comprising:
- reconstructing a two-dimensional cross-sectional image of an imaged tissue based on a volumetric image of the imaged tissue;
- projecting a computed tomography (CT) value of the imaged tissue along a normal direction of the centerline of the imaged tissue in the two-dimensional cross-sectional image;
- and,
- positioning the imaged tissue based on the projection result of the CT value of the imaged tissue, wherein the imaged tissue comprises a vertebral body, the vertebral body comprising vertebras and intervertebral discs, and positioning the imaged tissue according to the projection result of the CT value of the imaged tissue comprising:
- obtaining a position of a peak in the result of the projection, and positioning the center position between the positions of the two adjacent peaks as an intervertebral disc position.
