Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical image recognition, in particular to a method for recognizing and enhancing characters of a medical image without background interference.
Background
Computed tomography (ct) is a continuous cross-sectional scan around a part of the human body with a highly sensitive detector using precisely collimated X-ray beams, gamma rays, ultrasound, etc. Magnetic Resonance imaging (mri), which is also a kind of tomographic imaging, obtains electromagnetic signals from a human body by using a magnetic Resonance phenomenon and reconstructs human body information.
In practice, most of CT and MRI can not store the text information in layers, the system marks the text information at four corners of a medical image, and parts of the text information are overlapped on the image, so that the accurate extraction of the text information is influenced, and the classification of the medical image is influenced. The textual information includes, but is not limited to, patient name, age, gender, exam number, visit number, time, camera, CT value, window width, FOV, KV, mAs, matrix, etc. In order to accurately extract the text information, it is necessary to reduce the interference of the image as much as possible.
Each examination contains one or more series of images, each series having tens or hundreds of medical images, based on the continuity of CT, MRI tomography, including the number of images and the layer thickness/distance set by the doctor at the time of taking the images. Wherein, the layer thickness refers to the thickness of the scanning layer, the layer distance refers to the distance between the centers of two layers, the layer thickness is generally set to be 2-5mm, and the layer distance is continuous, so the distance between two adjacent reconstructed images is 0-10 mm. Both CT and MRI use the change in density or water content of human tissue to form images, and the change in density or water content of human tissue is continuous. Therefore, the outlines and internal images of two consecutive scanning layers have greater similarity, and the thinner the layer thickness and the smaller the layer distance, the higher the similarity.
In view of the characteristics of CT and MRI tomographic images: the same sequence of picture labels are identical in the check number, visit number, name, age, gender, etc., and the absolute position and size of the individual images and color values of these information are fixed. The method of the invention removes the background interference of the fault medical image by reverse phase superposition subtraction to improve the recognition rate of the medical character information.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a method for identifying and enhancing the characters of the medical image by removing the background interference of the fault medical image, which greatly improves the identification of the character information of the medical image.
The invention realizes a medical image character recognition enhancing method for removing background interference by the following technical scheme, which comprises the following steps:
selecting two adjacent and similar original medical images in the same sequence according to a preset rule;

Referring to fig. 1, a partial slice of a brain CT sequence containing 25 images was selected. Where A and B are two consecutive pieces of the initial portion, C and D are two consecutive pieces of the middle portion, and E and F are two consecutive pieces of the ending portion. By comparison, it can be seen that the similarities of a and B at the beginning and E and F at the end are low, while the similarities of C and D at the middle are high. Therefore, the method is suitable for selecting C and D as processing objects.

(3) And (3) subtracting the new medical image from the other original medical image in the step (1) according to the RGB values of the pixels with the same coordinates, and taking the absolute value.
(4) And (4) carrying out binarization processing on the image processed in the step (3), setting the threshold value to be 255 and setting the threshold value to be 0 when the threshold value is smaller than 255, and obtaining the medical image with enhanced character recognition.
The method of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the second longitudinal separation window CT image of the embodiment. The method comprises the following steps:
(1) two adjacent medical images of the same sequence of the patient longitudinal compartment window CT examination are selected, and the selection method comprises the following steps: the image based on the mediastinal window has a large change at the beginning and a small change near the end, so that it is better to select two consecutive slices near the end. Referring to fig. 2, a partial slice of a lung CT mediastinal window sequence containing 65 images was selected. Where A and B are two consecutive pieces of the initial portion, C and D are two consecutive pieces of the middle portion, and E and F are two consecutive pieces of the ending portion. By comparison, it can be seen that the similarities of a and B in the beginning portion and C and D in the middle portion are low, and the similarities of E and F in the end portion are high. Therefore, the method is suitable for selecting E and F as processing objects.
