Abstract
Provided in the present application are a method and a device for extracting a blood vessel wall, a medical imaging system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method for extracting a blood vessel wall comprises acquiring a medical image, determining at least one first-order feature in the medical image, and extracting, on the basis of the at least one first-order feature, a blood vessel wall image from the medical image.
Claims16
A method for extracting a blood vessel wall, comprising:
- performing image segmentation on an original scanned image and determining a region of interest;
- expanding an expansion extent of the region of interest to provide an expanded region of interest;
- acquiring a medical image based on the expanded region of interest;
- determining at least one first-order feature in the medical image;
- and
- extracting, on the basis of the at least one first-order feature, a blood vessel wall image from the medical image.
A method for visualizing a blood vessel wall, comprising:
- performing image segmentation on an original scanned image and determining a region of interest;
- expanding an expansion extent of the region of interest to provide an expanded region of interest;
- acquiring a medical image based on the expanded region of interest;
- determining at least one first-order feature in the image to be extracted;
- and
- mapping the at least one first-order feature in the medical image to visualize the blood vessel wall.
A device for extracting a blood vessel wall, comprising:
- an image acquisition module, configured to acquire a medical image, wherein the image acquisition module comprises:
- an image segmentation unit, configured to perform image segmentation on an original scanned image and determine a region of interest;
- and
- a region expansion unit, configured to:
- expand an expansion extend of the region of interest to provide an expanded region of interest;
- and
- acquire the medical image based on the expanded region of interest;
- a feature calculation module, configured to determine at least one first-order feature in the medical image;
- and
- an image extraction module, configured to extract a blood vessel wall image from the medical image on the basis of the at least one first-order feature.
