本发明的实施方式
[0023] 下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是全部 的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳 动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
[0024] 实施例一、
[0025] 本发明的实施例提供一种肝脏血管的分类方法, 参照图 1, 该方法包括以下步 骤:
[0026] 步骤 100、 获取肝脏器官的三维血管图像。
[0027] 其中, 三维血管图像是根据一组处于同期的一组二维 CT图像进行建模得到的 。 比如背景技术中所述, 使用动脉期图像可以创建出动脉血管模型, 使用门脉 期图像可以创建出门静脉模型, 使用平衡期图像创建出肝静脉模型。
[0028] 具体的, 对于步骤 100中获取肝脏器官的三维血管图像具体包括如图 2所示,
[0029] 100a. 根据区域生长算法对一组二维 CT图像中的每个二维血管图像进行血管分 害 |J, 得到每个二维血管图像的血管分割序列。
[0030] 其中, 区域生长算法 (英文全称: region growing) 是将具有相似性质的像素集 合起来构成区域。 首先在需要分割的区域中选取一个种子点 (x, y) 作为生长 点, 然后根据预先定义的规则将种子点周围领域中的相似像素合并到种子点像 素所属的区域中, 将这些新像素作为新的种子像素继续进行上述过程, 直到没 有满足条件的像素点被包括进来, 这样一个区域就生成完成。 通过区域生长算 法对每个二维血管图像进行血管分割后, 可以将每个二维血管图像分割成多个 区域, 因而, 得到每个二维血管图像的血管分割序列。 如图 2所示,
[0031] 100b、 根据移动立方体 (英文全称: Marching Cubes, 简称 MC) 算法对所有二 维血管图像的血管分割序列进行三维重建, 得到三维血管图像。
[0032] 示例的, 若需要三维重建动脉期的图像, 则根据移动立方体算法, 对动脉期的 所有 CT图像的血管分割序列进行三维重建, 得到动脉期的肝脏血管的三维血管 图像; 若需要三维重建静脉期的图像, 则根据移动立方体算法, 对静脉期的所 有 CT图像的血管分割序列进行三维重建, 得到静脉期的肝脏血管的三维血管图 像; 若需要三维重建门静脉期的图像, 则根据移动立方体算法, 对门静脉期的 所有 CT图像的血管分割序列进行三维重建, 得到门静脉期的肝脏血管的三维血 管图像。
[0033] 步骤 102、 分别获取所述三维血管图像中肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝静脉的三维图像
[0034] 具体地, 在建模好的三维血管图像上, 根据现有的一些血管识别算法, 可以区 分出肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝静脉三大类型的血管, 每个血管类型通常包括多条血 管。 分别获取三维血管图像中肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝静脉的三维图形, 并加以区 分。 为了更加清楚的区分, 这三种大的种类的血管可以分别着不同的颜色以进 行区分。
[0035] 比如, 肝动脉用红色标记, 肝静脉用绿色标记, 门静脉用蓝色标记。
[0036] 步骤 104、 分别根据所述肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝静脉血管类型将每种血管类型均 划分为多个血管支段。
[0037] 基于目前计算机三维建模的技术, 整体三维血管图像的建模, 比如在空间位置 , 体积等方面准确性达到了一定程度, 但在小的血管分支处往往出现一些误判 。 因此根据大的血管类型进行再次划分, 得到多个血管支段, 其中, 肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝动脉分别具有多个血管支段。 [0038] 具体地, 将每种血管类型的血管划分为多个血管支段, 从而便于观察小的血管 支段。 该多个血管支段分别排列显示, 着色与所属的大的血管类型相同。 为方 便对比观察, 提高互动性, 三维血管图像和多个血管支段分别显示在同一个界 面中。 比如, 三维血管图像显示在界面左侧, 右侧设置三个不同的切换按钮, 每个按钮对已一种血管类型的多个血管支段界面。 选中其中一个血管类型按钮 后, 就显示对应的已划分好的该血管类型下的多个血管支段, 每个血管支段处 于一个方框中。 每个血管支段保持其在整个三维血管图像中的空间位置。
[0039] 进一步地, 如果对血管支段分类过多, 根据其空间位置, 走向或者病人个体病 变程度的考虑因素就会变得很多且复杂, 不容易划分, 反而容易错判, 而如果 对血管支段分段过少, 又容易忽略细节, 达不到校正分类的目的。
[0040] 因此根据肝脏血管的空间位置, 医生对重要血管支段的关注程度, 结合解剖学 原理, 在实际操作中对每个大的血管类型种类划分为 4到 8条血管支段, 既能满 足对三维建模校正的目的, 满足医学上的参考需要, 同吋, 对于医生来说, 重 新分类的工作量也较少, 判断失误的概率也降低。
[0041] 步骤 106、 接收用户输入的对所述多个血管支段的血管类型的分类指示。
[0042] 由于医学领域的专业性较强, 病人的个体差异性也比较大, 医学成像不具有绝 对的准确性, 因此在现实应用吋, 如果能够同吋借助医护人员的丰富的专业知 识和经验对三维模型进行校正, 可以达到建模更加准确的目的。
[0043] 在本发明实施例步骤中, 医生或其他医护人员可以借助专业经验和知识对三维 血管图像的血管分支进行再次判断, 从而将其归入正确的血管类型分类中。
[0044] 具体地, 比如肝静脉的一个血管支段可能距离肝静脉血管很近, 而静脉由于血 液流动原因, 在扫描成像吋不一定能够在每张二维 CT图像中都能观察到, 由于 补偿算法等原因, 可能被归入了肝静脉, 而实际应当分到门静脉分类中。
[0045] 在本发明实施例方案中, 针对这种情况, 可以对多个血管支段设置属性值, 该 属性值至少包括该血管支段所述的血管类型, 用户可以选中该血管支段后对该 血管支段的属性值进行更改, 于是完成对该血管支段的血管类型分类指示。
[0046] 属性值可以通过选中血管支段后点击右键出现, 用户通过下拉列表选择, 也可 以通过选中血管支段后按住鼠标左键进行拖拽的方式将其归类到对应的血管类 型按钮下, 进而属性值也随之改变。
[0047] 当血管支段的属性值改变后, 其对应的着色也改变为更新后的血管类型分类对 应的颜色。
[0048] 步骤 108、 根据所述多个血管支段更新后的血管类型分类, 更新所述三维血管 图像。
[0049] 当用户对血管支段的分类进行改变后, 血管支段的着色发生变化, 同吋该血管 支段在三维血管图像界面中同吋发生改变, 着色变为更新分类后血管类型对应 的颜色, 方便用户实吋观察判断。
[0050] 同吋后台数据也随之改变, 将整个三维血管图像模型进行了更新, 从而便于用 户以此为依据进行其他的操作, 比如模拟切除, 分割观察等手术辅助措施。
[0051] 本发明实施例提供的肝脏血管分类方法, 在获取肝脏器官的三维血管图像后, 根据肝脏血管类型分别对每种血管类型再次进行血管支段划分, 接收用户输入 的对多个血管支段的所属的血管类型的分类指示, 为专业医学人员用户提供了 人工干预手段, 对血管类型进行二次分类, 能够利用其自身丰富的专业知识对 现有三维建模算法和源数据造成的缺陷能够进行纠正, 从而提高肝脏血管分类 的准确性。
[0052] 同吋, 本方案根据三种大的血管类型分别再划分多个血管支段, 这是考虑, 一 方面三维建模整体准确性较高, 缺陷错误通常出现在小的分支血管支段方面, 因此将大的血管类型进行再次划分, 方便对小的分支血管归类进行检査。
[0053] 本发明实施例方案还根据多个血管支段更新后的血管类型分类更新三维血管图 像, 从而也更新了肝脏三大血管的分类, 提高了三维血管图像的实际医学参考 应用价值, 从而便于医护人员进行术前预估以及术中的精确判断。
[0054] 实施例二
[0055] 本发明实施例二是在实施例一基础上对肝脏血管的分类方法的改进。
[0056] 具体地, 在步骤 104、 分别根据所述肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝静脉血管类型将每种 血管类型均划分为多个血管支段之前, 还包括步骤 103、 将所述三维血管图像进 行二维图像映射校正。
[0057] 由于在实施例一步骤 100a中对每个二维血管图像根据区域生长算法进行血管分 割吋, 有吋会把不属于血管区域的相似像素点也归类到血管区域, 因此, 将三 维血管图像在每个二维血管图像进行映射, 对不准确的位置进行调整, 使得重 建后的三维血管图像更加准确, 以符合实际的内脏器官的血管***, 进而继续 执行步骤 103a-103d, 如图 3所示。
[0058] 步骤 103a、 获取所述三维血管图像在所述一组二维 CT图像中对应序列的二维 C T图像上的映射轮廓线。
[0059] 其中, 一组二维 CT图像是指用于创建肝脏三维血管图像模型所使用的同一期 的二维数据源。 将肝脏三维血管图像模型进行映射, 目的是为了比对生成三维 血管图像的二维数据与原始的二维数据源的差别。 由于三维血管图像是体数据 , 而二维 CT图像将同一期的多张图像按照序列排列, 也可以理解成, 将二维 CT 图像的吋间序列特性用三维体数据表现出来。 从而一个体数据可以映射回这一 组多张二维图像上, 原则上每张二维图像上都会有这个体数据的映射, 但由于 成像等原因, 不是每张二维 CT图像上都能观察到对象器官组织。
[0060] 对于步骤 103a中获取所述三维血管图像在所述一组二维 CT图像中对应序列的二 维 CT图像上的映射轮廓线可以包括:
[0061] 1031a. 获取三维血管图像在每个二维 CT图像中对应的血管边缘线。
[0062] 由于三维血管图像都是由多张二维 CT图像进行三维重建得到的, 因此, 三维 血管图像在对应序列的二维 CT图像上会具有相应的数据映射, 每个二维血管图 像中的血管在三维血管图像都有对应的立体三维血管部分, 每个三维血管都有 各自的血管边缘线, 如图 6所示, 三维血管图像映射回二维 CT图像, 图中以闭合 曲线的方式表示映射轮廓线。
[0063] 1032a. 获取与三维血管图像对应序列的每个二维 CT图像中血管组织对应的血 管边缘线的位置信息。
[0064] 由于三维血管图像是一个三维立体的图像, 因此, 三维血管图像中血管都有各 自的位置信息。 在具体的实现中, 该位置信息可以为空间位置坐标。 因此, 三 维血管图像在对应的二维血管图像中的血管轮廓线都有各自的空间位置坐标, 获取三维血管图像与每个二维血管组织图像中对应的血管边缘线的空间位置坐 标。 [0065] 1033a. 根据与每个二维血管图像对应的血管边缘线的位置相对信息, 绘制得 到三维血管图像在每个二维血管图像上的血管映射轮廓线。
[0066] 步骤 103b、 判断所述映射轮廓线是否与所述一组二维 CT图像中的对应序列的 二维 CT图像中血管组织的边界是否重合。
[0067] 也就是比较三维血管图像映射回对应序列的二维 CT图像的数据范围与原始二 维 CT图像的数据范围的差别。
[0068] 每个二维血管图像中血管组织的边界可以根据边界区域算法计算得到。 如图 6 所示的闭合曲线为三维血管图像映射回某一对应序列的二维 CT图像的映射轮廓 线。
[0069] 判断比较在这张二维 CT图像上三维模型数据的映射轮廓线是否血管组织的原 始组织边界与是否重合。
[0070] 判断方法可以借助于计算机算法, 对三维模型数据的映射轮廓线的位置信息和 组织边界的位置信息进行比较, 具体地, 可以为坐标位置信息的比较。
[0071] 以及, 也可以是用户人工的观察。
[0072] 步骤 103c、 若不重合, 调整所述映射轮廓线与所述对应序列的二维 CT图像中血 管组织的边界重合。
[0073] 具体地, 调整方法可以是计算机根据两者位置信息的比较结果, 将映射轮廓线 外扩或者缩放至组织边界处, 改变映射轮廓线的范围。
[0074] 或者, 也可以借助人工干预的方法。 根据用户的操作, 获取校准指令,
[0075] 根据校准指令, 即映射轮廓线上某一点的移动信息, 将映射轮廓线的该点位置 调整至用户指定位置。
[0076] 重复上述过程, 将映射轮廓线调整与对应的二维血管图像中血管组织的边界重 合。
[0077] 步骤 103d、 根据所述调整后的映射轮廓线对应的二维 CT图像数据重新三维建 模, 得到校正后的三维血管图像。
[0078] 具体的, 映射轮廓线被调整后就意味着二维源数据的范围发生了变化, 从而根 据调整后的映射轮廓线所对应的二维 CT图像的数据范围重新进行移动立方体算 法进行三维建模, 得到校正后的三维血管图像。 [0079] 需要说明的是, 上述是以映射回一张对应序列的二维 CT图像上映射轮廓线的 调整进行三维血管图像校正的举例, 每一张二维 CT图像中的映射轮廓线的变化 都会引起二维源数据范围的改变, 从而重新建模后, 对三维血管模型进行校正
。 也就是, 可以选取多张二维 CT图像, 观察三维模型的映射轮廓线, 分布进行 调整, 从而比较精确的对三维血管图像进行校正。
[0080] 本发明实施例方案在实施例一方案基础上增加了将三维血管图像进行二维图像 映射校正的步骤, 在实施例一带来的有益效果基础上, 能够进一步地提高三维 建模的准确性, 从而为下一步血管支段的划分提供更加准确的依据, 并最终影 响肝脏中三大类血管的分类结果。
[0081] 实施例三
[0082] 本发明实施例是在实施例一或者实施例一和实施例二结合的基础上的改进。
[0083] 具体地, 在实施例一步骤 104、 分别根据所述肝动脉、 门静脉、 肝静脉血管类 型将每种血管类型均划分为多个血管支段之前, 或者在实施例二步骤 103、 将所 述三维血管图像进行二维图像映射校正之后, 还包括另一对三维血管图像的校 正步骤 105、 清除所述三维血管图像中的非血管组织。
[0084] 由于本发明实施例主要针对血管的三维图像, 因此, 可以将三维血管图像中的 非血管组织先进行清除, 以便得到较为准确的三维血管图像。
[0085] 对于如何清除三维血管图像中的非血管组织, 如图 4所示, 具体包括:
[0086] 105a. 接收用户的标记指令。
[0087] 其中, 标记指令用于指示将三维血管图像中的非血管组织标记出来。 其中, 标 记指令可以是用户点击鼠标, 也可以是用户输入的与标记相关的指令代码。
[0088] 105b. 根据标记指令, 标记出三维血管图像中的非血管组织。
[0089] 105c 接收用户的清除指令。
[0090] 其中, 清除指令用于指示将三维血管图像中标记出的非血管组织清除。
[0091] 105d、 根据清除指令, 清除三维血管图像中的非血管组织。
[0092] 示例的, 用户特别是专业的医护人员可以根据内脏器官的解剖结构以及血管的 走形, 确认出明显的非血管组织, 对于这些非血管组织, 通过点击鼠标, 标记 出这些非血管组织, 如绘制闭合的曲线将这些非血管组织圈定出来, 进一步的 , 对于圈定区域的非血管组织进行清除, 得到较为准确的三维血管图像。
[0093] 从而本发明实施例由于增加了清除三维血管图像中非血管组织的步骤, 能够将 多余非目标对象清除, 从而使得三维血管图像更加准确, 防止后续对血管支段 划分吋将不必要的组织划入, 造成血管支段划分的不准确, 进而降低肝脏血管 分类的准确性。
[0094] 本发明实施例是在实施例一或者实施例一和二结合的基础上进行改进的, 因此 同吋兼具实施例一和实施例二的有益效果, 在此不再赘述。
[0095] 实施例四
[0096] 本发明实施例是在上述实施例一基础上, 或者实施例一与实施例二结合的基础 上, 或者实施例一、 三结合的基础上, 或者实施例一、 二、 三结合的基础上所 做的改进。
[0097] 具体地, 在实施例一步骤 104、 分别根据所述肝动脉, 门静脉, 肝静脉血管类 型将每种血管类型均划分为多个血管支段之前, 或者在实施例二步骤 103、 将所 述三维血管图像进行二维图像映射校正之后, 或者在实施例二步骤 103之前, 或 者在实施例三步骤 105、 清除所述三维血管图像中的非血管组织之前, 或者在实 施例三步骤 105之后还包括另一对三维血管图像的校正步骤 107、 断幵所述三维 血管图像中血管连接错误位置。
[0098] 在本发明实施例中, 由于步骤 107是对上述实施例效果的优化, 在实施步骤排 列上没有严格的顺序限制, 只要能够达到提高三维血管图像的准确性, 进而提 高肝脏血管分类准确性的目的即可。
[0099] 在三维建模中, 由于所有组织器官在二维 CT源图像中并不一定每张都可以观 察到, 有的静脉扫描图像会吋隐吋现, 因此三维血管图像中的血管也并不是完 全连通的, 会出现几个分支, 本发明实施例利用这些不连通的分支进行动脉、 静脉和门脉的分类, 分类后的血管分支保持了原来血管的解剖学位置, 能清晰 的看出三者在内脏器官的分布结构、 变异情况以及与病灶的毗邻关系。 在实际 情况中, 由于三维血管建模过程中算法的原因, 可能对二维 CT源图像中组织边 界的误判, 或者补偿算法的不确定性等多方面的因素, 用户在进行分类之前或 者分类之后或者分类过程中, 根据解剖学知识, 发现一些动脉、 静脉和门脉相 互混杂在一起, 因此, 就需要对这些连接错误的位置进行清除。
[0100] 具体的, 如图 5所示, 步骤 107、 断幵所述三维血管图像中血管连接错误位置包 括:
[0101] 步骤 107a、 接收用户的第二标记指令。
[0102] 其中, 第二标记指令用于将三维血管图像中血管连接错误的位置进行标记。 第 二标记指令可以是用户点击鼠标, 也可以是用户输入的与标记相关的指令代码
[0103] 步骤 107b、 根据第二标记指令, 标记出三维血管图像中血管连接错误的位置。
[0104] 步骤 107c、 接收用户的第二清除指令。
[0105] 其中, 第二清除指令用于指示将三维血管图像中标记出的血管连接错误的位置 进行清除。
[0106] 步骤 108d、 根据第二清除指令, 清除三维血管图像中血管连接错误的位置。
[0107] 从而实现血管错误连接位置的断幵。
[0108] 示例的, 用户根据解剖学知识确定三维血管图像中有血管连接不正确的位置, 通过点击鼠标, 用球体刀或者其他形状进行标识, 获取标识出的位置的空间坐 标, 在存储三维血管图像数据的数据集中把这部分的坐标值清空, 这样就断幵 了不正确的连接位置。 进而对清除血管连接错误的三维血管图像进行分类, 为 后续的医学手术提供准确的参考。
[0109] 在上述实施例一、 二、 三的基础上, 本发明实施例增加了断幵所述三维血管图 像中血管连接错误位置的处理步骤, 也提高了三维血管图像的建模准确性, 如 果血管连接错误, 有可能导致血管支段在划分吋划分错误, 从而导致血管支段 重新分类吋的分类错误, 进而导致最终的肝脏三大血管类型的分类结果不准确 。 从而本实施例提供的增加步骤也能够提高后续血管支段划分和血管分类的准 确度。
[0110] 本发明实施例是在实施例一或者实施例一和二结合的基础上进行改进得到的, 因此同吋兼具实施例一、 实施例二、 实施例三的有益效果, 在此不再赘述。
[0111] 综上, 本发明上述实施例提供了多种肝脏血管分类的方法, 首先在获取肝脏器 官的三维血管图像后, 根据肝脏血管类型分别对每种血管类型再次进行血管支 段划分, 接收用户输入的对多个血管支段的所属的血管类型的分类指示, 为专 业医学人员用户提供了人工干预手段, 对血管类型进行二次分类, 能够利用其 自身丰富的专业知识对现有三维建模算法和源数据造成的缺陷能够进行纠正, 从而提高肝脏血管分类的准确性。
[0112] 同吋, 本方案根据三种大的血管类型分别再划分多个血管支段, 这是考虑, 一 方面三维建模整体准确性较高, 缺陷错误通常出现在小的分支血管支段方面, 因此将大的血管类型进行再次划分, 方便对小的分支血管归类进行检査。
[0113] 本发明实施例方案还根据多个血管支段更新后的血管类型分类更新三维血管图 像, 从而也更新了肝脏三大血管的分类, 提高了三维血管图像的实际医学参考 应用价值, 从而便于医护人员进行术前预估以及术中的精确判断。
[0114] 以及, 在进行血管支段的划分之前还包括对三维血管图像进行二维图像映射校 正, 通过比较三维血管图像的在对应序列的二维 CT图像上的映射轮廓线与二维 血管图像中血管组织的边界线是否重合, 若不重合, 则对血管映射轮廓线进行 调整, 从而改变了三维重建模型所使用的二维数据范畴, 使更接近实际的血管 组织源数据, 进行重建后起到了三维血管图像进行校正的作用, 使得三维血管 图像更加准确, 以符合实际的肝脏血管, 便于医护人员对肝脏内的血管进行准 确分类, 进而便于医护人员进行术前预估以及术中的精确判断。
[0115] 以及, 在进行血管支段的划分之前或者在三维血管图像进行二维图像映射校正 之后, 还包括对三维血管图像中的非血管组织进行清除, 从而能够刪除一些非 必要的组织部分, 优化三维血管图像, 也能够提高三维建模的血管图像的准确 性, 能够提高最终的血管分类结果的准确性。
[0116] 以及, 在进行血管支段的划分之前, 或者在三维血管图像进行二维图像映射校 正之后, 或者之后, 或者在对三维血管图像中的非血管组织进行清除之前, 或 者之后, 还包括断幵三维血管图像中血管连接的错误位置, 从而能够对错误的 三维建模部位进行纠正, 也优化了三维血管图像, 从而提高血管分类结果的准 确性。
[0117] 上述无论是三维血管图像的二维图像映射, 非血管组织的清除, 还是血管错误 连接位置的断幵, 都可以视为对三维血管模型的校正步骤, 可以根据三维图像 模型的具体缺陷问题选择适用, 均是为了提高三维血管图像模型的准确性, 从 而奠定肝脏血管正确分类的基础。
[0118] 本领域普通技术人员可以理解: 实现上述方法实施例的全部或部分步骤可以通 过程序指令相关的硬件来完成, 前述的程序可以存储于一计算机可读取存储介 质中, 该程序在执行吋, 执行包括上述方法实施例的步骤; 而前述的存储介质 包括: ROM、 RAM. 磁碟或者光盘等各种可以存储程序代码的介质。
[0119] 以上所述, 仅为本发明的具体实施方式, 但本发明的保护范围并不局限于此, 任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本发明揭露的技术范围内, 可轻易想到变化 或替换, 都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。 因此, 本发明的保护范围应以所 述权利要求的保护范围为准。
