Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a blood vessel centerline, as shown in fig. 1, including:
s101, obtaining a blood vessel image; specifically, the obtained blood vessel images include at least images of blood vessels to be named, and in the present embodiment, a head and neck artery blood vessel image is taken as an example for description, but not limited thereto, and other blood vessel images are also applicable.
S102, extracting a first central line of each blood vessel in the blood vessel image, wherein the first central line comprises a first starting point, an intersection point and a segmentation line; specifically, a skeleton extraction algorithm may be used to extract a first centerline of each blood vessel in the blood vessel image. The first centerline may include a first origin or a plurality of first origins, and when the first centerline includes a plurality of first origins, the first centerline is indicated to have a plurality of disconnected blood vessels. The first center line may include one intersection and one segment line, and may include a plurality of intersections and a plurality of segment lines. The first starting point is the center point of the lowest end of the blood vessel. The junction is the center point of the junction of the blood vessels. The segmentation line is a connection line of the center points of the segmented vessels.
S103, constructing an undirected graph according to the first starting point, the intersection point and the segmentation line; specifically, an undirected graph may be constructed with the first starting point and the intersection point as vertices and the segment line as a connecting line between the vertices. The constructed undirected graph can be as shown in fig. 2.
S104, determining each connected component of the undirected graph; specifically, for an undirected graph as shown in FIG. 2, two connected components are included.
S105, determining each subgraph in each connected component, wherein each subgraph comprises at least one vertex, and when each subgraph comprises a plurality of vertices, at least two connecting paths exist between any two vertices in each subgraph; specifically, subgraphs in each connected component can be determined by adopting a tarjan algorithm of a classical graph theory. For an undirected graph as shown in fig. 2, one of the connected components may comprise 7 subgraphs as shown in fig. 3. The subgraph may be a single vertex, or may be a plurality of vertices and connecting lines between the vertices.
S106, for each connected component, constructing a spanning tree by taking a subgraph including a first starting point as a root node, taking a subgraph not including the first starting point as a child node and a leaf node and taking a connecting line between the subgraphs as an edge; specifically, each subgraph can be regarded as an independent node, and then a spanning tree algorithm is used to construct a spanning tree by taking the subgraph comprising the first starting point as a root node. For each subgraph in fig. 3, a spanning tree may be constructed by taking the subgraph including the first starting point as a root node, taking the subgraph not including the first starting point as a child node and a leaf node, and taking a connecting line between the subgraphs as an edge, as shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5.
S107, acquiring at least one designated point selected by a user aiming at the blood vessel with the standby name; in particular, the user may choose at least one specified point for the vessel to be named.
And S108, when the designated point does not comprise the second starting point, determining a first path from the root node to the designated point in the spanning tree, and obtaining a second central line of the standby name vessel. Specifically, the second starting point is different from the first starting point, and is a new starting point selected by the user again. Since the tree structure is characterized by having only one path from the root node to any given point on the tree, when the given point selected by the user does not include the second starting point, only one first path from the root node to the given point can be determined in the spanning tree.
The method, the device and the readable storage medium for determining the center line of the blood vessel provided by the embodiment of the invention acquire the blood vessel image; extracting a first central line of each blood vessel in the blood vessel image, wherein the first central line comprises a first starting point, an intersection point and a segmentation line; constructing an undirected graph according to the first starting point, the intersection point and the segmentation line; determining each connected component of the undirected graph; determining each subgraph in each connected component, wherein each subgraph comprises at least one vertex, and when each subgraph comprises a plurality of vertices, at least two connecting paths exist between any two vertices in the subgraph; for each connected component, constructing a spanning tree by taking a subgraph including a first starting point as a root node, taking a subgraph not including the first starting point as a child node and a leaf node and taking a connecting line between the subgraphs as an edge; acquiring at least one designated point selected by a user aiming at the vessel with the standby name; when the appointed point does not comprise a second starting point, a first path from the root node to the appointed point is determined in the spanning tree to obtain a second center line of the blood vessel with the ready name, so that the first center line of each blood vessel in the blood vessel image is converted from a complex graph structure into a tree structure comprising a plurality of subgraphs, when at least one appointed point selected by a user for the blood vessel to be named is obtained, a proper path can be found in the tree structure to obtain the second center line of the blood vessel with the ready name, and the second center line of the blood vessel to be named can be simply and quickly determined; and the subgraph is set as the node of the tree structure, so that only one spanning tree needs to be established for one connected component, and the calculation amount can be reduced when the second central line of the blood vessel to be named is determined.
In an alternative embodiment, in step S105, determining each subgraph in each connected component includes: determining each key edge of the connected component, wherein the key edges are used for indicating a unique path between two mutually connected vertexes in the connected component; and determining at least one vertex connected with each key edge and a connecting line between the vertices as a subgraph.
Specifically, when determining each subgraph in each connected component, it may be obtained by determining each key edge in the connected component. The critical edge satisfies that if the connecting line is cut off, the original connected component is split into two connected components, that is, the critical edge is used for indicating a unique path between two mutually connected vertexes in the connected components.
By determining the key edges of the connected components, sub-graphs in the connected components can be determined quickly.
In an optional embodiment, when the node through which the first path passes includes a subgraph of a plurality of vertices, after determining the first path from the root node to the specified point in the spanning tree, the method further includes: when the designated point exists in the sub-graph, a second path passing through a third starting point, a first end point and the designated point of the sub-graph is determined in the sub-graph, and the second path has no loop; and combining the first path and the second path to obtain a second central line of the standby name vessel. When no appointed point exists in the subgraph, a third path passing through a fourth starting point and a second ending point of the subgraph is determined in the subgraph, and the third path has no loop; and combining the first path and the third path to obtain a second central line of the standby name vessel.
Specifically, the nodes passed by the first path include a root node and child nodes. When the node passed by the first path includes a subgraph of a plurality of vertices, as shown in fig. 6, the solid dots are the vertices of the subgraph, and the hollow dots are the designated points. Since there are many connecting lines in the subgraph composed of many vertices, it is necessary to determine the second path in the subgraph. In the subgraph, since the order of passing through the middle vertexes is unknown and no solution is possible, the second path can be determined by means of brute force search and setting an upper limit of the number of searches. Thus, if a specified point is present in the subgraph, a second path can be determined in the subgraph that is loop-free and passes through the third starting point, the first end point and the specified point of the subgraph by using the traversal method. By combining the first path and the second path, the second centerline of the artery with the first artery can be obtained. As shown in fig. 7, the sub-graph in the example finds the second path through 4 traversals.
If the specified point does not exist in the subgraph, a third path which is not a loop and passes through a fourth starting point and a second ending point of the subgraph can be determined in the subgraph by using a traversal method, and the first path and the third path are combined to reach a second central line of the artery with the first name.
Because the size of the sub-graph is limited, and a user generally does not select too many designated points in the sub-graph, the second path or the third path can be quickly found by using a traversal method under the general condition.
In an alternative embodiment, the method for determining the vessel centerline further comprises: and when the designated point comprises a second starting point, taking the second starting point as a root node of the spanning tree, returning to execute the step of constructing the spanning tree by taking the subgraph comprising the first starting point as the root node, taking the subgraph not comprising the first starting point as a child node and a leaf node and taking a connecting line between the subgraphs as an edge for each connected component.
Specifically, when the user specifies the second starting point, the spanning tree may be reconstructed with the second starting point as the root node of the spanning tree.
When the designated point comprises a second starting point, the spanning tree is reconstructed by taking the second starting point as a root node of the spanning tree, and the spanning tree which takes the second starting point selected by the user as the root node can be obtained, so that when the first path is determined, the second starting point is taken as the starting point of the first path, the first path of the standby name blood vessel at different starting points can be constructed, and the setting requirements of the user on different starting points are met.
In an alternative embodiment, the method for determining the vessel centerline further comprises: and when the second starting point is not a leaf node, adding a virtual leaf node connected with the second starting point, taking the virtual leaf node as a root node of the spanning tree, returning to execute the step of constructing the spanning tree by taking the subgraph which does not comprise the first starting point as a child node and the leaf node and taking a connecting line between the subgraphs as an edge for each connected component.
Specifically, when the second starting point selected by the user is not a leaf node, a virtual leaf node connected to the second starting point may be added, and the spanning tree is reconstructed by using the virtual leaf node as a root node of the spanning tree.
The spanning tree is reconstructed by adding a virtual leaf node linking the second starting point, taking the virtual leaf node as the root node of the spanning tree, so that the spanning tree is still suitable for determining the second central line of the blood vessel.
