Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a breast region in a medical image are provided. The methods may include obtaining a first image relating to the breast region, determining a first region including a first plurality of pixels in the breast region, determining a second region including a second plurality of pixels relating to an edge of the breast region, and determining the breast region by combining the first region and the second region. The second plurality of pixels may include at least a portion of the first plurality of pixels.
Claims21
A method implemented on at least one device each of which has at least one processor and storage, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image including a breast region, the breast region including a first region and a second region;
- determining the first region in the breast region, the first region including a first plurality of pixels;
- performing a pretreatment on the first image to obtain a pretreated first image, wherein the pretreated first image includes the first plurality of pixels corresponding to a first average gray value, and a third plurality of pixels in a third region relating to a background region corresponding to a third average gray value, and the first average gray value is greater than the third average gray value;
- determining, based on the pretreated first image, the second region relating to an edge of the breast region;
- and
- determining the breast region based on the first region and the second region.
A system comprising:
- an image processing device, including:
- a storage configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein when executing the instructions, the at least one processor causes the image processing device to:
- obtain a first image including a breast region, the breast region including a first region and a second region;
- determine the first region in the breast region, the first region including a first plurality of pixels;
- perform a pretreatment on the first image to obtain a pretreated first image, wherein the pretreated first image includes the first plurality of pixels corresponding to a first average gray value, and a third plurality of pixels in a third region relating to a background region corresponding to a third average gray value, and the first average gray value is greater than the third average gray value;
- determine the second region relating to an edge of the breast region based on the pretreated first image;
- and
- determine the breast region based on the first region and the second region.
