    Liver CT Image Segmentation Based on an Improved Region Growing Method

    • 摘要: 肝脏CT图像的准确分割能为肝脏疾病的研究及早期诊断提供客观依据,也是医疗计量检定中重要的溯源项目。介绍了一种改进的区域生长进行肝脏CT图像自动分割的方法,详细介绍了各步骤处理流程与实现方案。在改进分割方法中,首先通过阈值分割和非线性映射去除噪声,增强图像信息,利用该方法对随机选取的9个腹部CT序列图像进行了分割处理,并与阈值法进行对比分析;利用Quasi-Monte Carlo(QMC)方法用于区域生长算法中种子点的选择和提高区域生长条件;最后,用形态学方法结合Canny算子和Flood填充算法进行后处理,以平滑肝脏轮廓和肝脏分割结果。结果表明,相比阈值法,区域生长方法的分割正确率高达91.89%,能更准确地进行肝脏分割。同时,分割结果的体积重叠误差(VOE)和相对体积差(RVD)统计结果也验证了该方法的有效性和稳定性,表明该方法能有效应用于肝脏CT图像的分割中,可为临床医学中肝脏疾病的诊断提供可靠依据。

       

      Abstract: Accurate segmentation of liver CT images can provide an objective basis for liver disease research and early diagnosis, and it is also an important traceable project in medical metrology. This paper introduces an improved automatic segmentation method for liver CT images using a region growing approach, detailing the processing steps and implementation scheme. In the improved segmentation method, noise is first removed and image information is enhanced through threshold segmentation and nonlinear mapping. This method was used to segment nine randomly selected abdominal CT image sequences and compare the results with the threshold method. The Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) method is employed for seed point selection and to enhance the region growing conditions. Finally, morphological methods combined with the Canny operator and Flood fill algorithm are used for post-processing to smooth the liver contour and segmentation results. The results show that compared to the threshold method, the region growing method achieves a segmentation accuracy of up to 91.89%, allowing for more precise liver segmentation. Furthermore, the volume overlap error (VOE) and relative volume difference (RVD) statistics of the segmentation results also verify the effectiveness and stability of this method, indicating that it can be effectively applied in liver CT image segmentation and provide reliable support for the diagnosis of liver diseases in clinical medicine.
