S203,根据多个肺部CT图像,比较感兴趣区域的变化情况,进一步确定肿瘤区域,输出肿瘤区域对应的代谢特征。S203, comparing changes in the region of interest based on the multiple lung CT images, further determining the tumor region, and outputting metabolic features corresponding to the tumor region.
通过利用CT图像的高空间分辨率,通过阈值分割、区域生长或深度学习等方法,初步定位不同图像特征对应的肺部肿瘤区域,并结合肺部PET图像中的代谢信息,通过设定SUV(标准化摄取值)阈值等方法,进一步确认肿瘤区域,来识别不同特征区域的分布情况,以辅助医生进行诊断。此时单个CT图像可能受到噪声、伪影、扫描条件等多种因素的影响,导致诊断信息的不准确或模糊。通过比较多个图像,可以平均化这些随机误差,从而提高对肿瘤区域识别的准确性。通过在不同时间点获取的多个CT图像,可以观察到肿瘤的动态变化,包括其大小、形状、密度以及与周围组织的相互作用等。By utilizing the high spatial resolution of CT images, using methods such as threshold segmentation, region growing or deep learning, the lung tumor areas corresponding to different image features are initially located, and combined with the metabolic information in the lung PET images, the tumor areas are further confirmed by setting the SUV (standardized uptake value) threshold and other methods to identify the distribution of different feature areas to assist doctors in diagnosis. At this time, a single CT image may be affected by multiple factors such as noise, artifacts, and scanning conditions, resulting in inaccurate or ambiguous diagnostic information. By comparing multiple images, these random errors can be averaged, thereby improving the accuracy of tumor area identification. Through multiple CT images acquired at different time points, the dynamic changes of the tumor can be observed, including its size, shape, density, and interaction with surrounding tissues.
优选的,获取的多个肺部CT图像是针对同一位患者,在不同的时间点获取的,获取的肺部CT图像的数量至少为两个。Preferably, the multiple lung CT images acquired are for the same patient, acquired at different time points, and the number of the acquired lung CT images is at least two.
具体的,对代谢特征识别方式还包括:将获取的肺部CT图像与对应肺部PET图像进行融合,将两种图像的信息整合到同一空间坐标系中,使得每个肿瘤区域既有结构信息又有代谢信息。Specifically, the metabolic feature recognition method also includes: fusing the acquired lung CT image with the corresponding lung PET image, integrating the information of the two images into the same spatial coordinate system, so that each tumor area has both structural information and metabolic information.
获取感兴趣区域中的放射物浓度与注射剂量和病人体重的比值,基于放射性药物的分布情况,确定感兴趣区域内的平均放射性药物浓度,获取感兴趣区域对应的SUV图像;将获取的SUV图像与预设阈值进行比较,从而进一步确定肿瘤区域;Obtaining the ratio of the concentration of the radiation in the region of interest to the injected dose and the patient's weight, determining the average concentration of the radioactive drug in the region of interest based on the distribution of the radioactive drug, and obtaining the SUV image corresponding to the region of interest; comparing the obtained SUV image with a preset threshold to further determine the tumor area;
SUV图像在医学领域中通常被称为标准摄取值图像(Standardized Uptake ValueImage);SUV是一种用于量化PET(正电子发射断层扫描)图像中放射性示踪剂摄取程度的测量值。SUV images are often referred to as Standardized Uptake Value Images in the medical field; SUV is a measurement used to quantify the extent of radioactive tracer uptake in PET (positron emission tomography) images.
具体的,在本实施例中SUV对应的值表示组织中的放射性药物浓度与注射剂量和病人体重的比值。Specifically, in this embodiment, the value corresponding to SUV represents the ratio of the radioactive drug concentration in the tissue to the injected dose and the patient's weight.
此时首先获取病人的PET图像,该图像反映了放射性药物在病人体内的分布情况;在PET图像上手动或自动地勾画出感兴趣的区域,通常是疑似肿瘤的区域;测量感兴趣区域内的放射性药物浓度:计算感兴趣区域内的平均放射性药物浓度;获取注射剂量和病人体重:这些信息通常在PET扫描前就已经获得。At this time, the patient's PET image is first obtained, which reflects the distribution of the radioactive drug in the patient's body; the area of interest, usually the suspected tumor area, is manually or automatically outlined on the PET image; the radioactive drug concentration in the area of interest is measured: the average radioactive drug concentration in the area of interest is calculated; the injection dose and patient weight are obtained: this information is usually obtained before the PET scan.
计算SUV:利用上述公式计算感兴趣区域的SUV值;Calculate SUV: Use the above formula to calculate the SUV value of the region of interest;
SUV=(组织中的放射性药物浓度)/(注射剂量/病人体重)。SUV = (radiopharmaceutical concentration in tissue)/(injected dose/patient weight).
设定一个或多个SUV阈值,例如,SUV>2.5的区域可能被认为是肿瘤区域;将计算得到的SUV图像与设定的阈值进行比较,从而确定和提取出肿瘤区域;SUV的计算主要基于放射性药物的摄取和分布原理,以及PET成像的物理原理。One or more SUV thresholds are set, for example, an area with SUV>2.5 may be considered a tumor area; the calculated SUV image is compared with the set threshold to determine and extract the tumor area; the calculation of SUV is mainly based on the uptake and distribution principles of radioactive drugs and the physical principles of PET imaging.
PET图像中的像素值反映了放射性药物的浓度,而SUV则是将这种浓度标准化,以消除注射剂量和病人体重的差异;注射剂量和扫描时间的准确性对于SUV的计算也非常重要;SUV阈值的设定需要根据具体的应用场景和病种进行调整,不同的病种和扫描条件可能需要不同的SUV阈值,将得到的感兴趣区域的SUV值作为输出的代谢特征。The pixel value in the PET image reflects the concentration of the radioactive drug, and the SUV standardizes this concentration to eliminate differences in injection dose and patient weight. The accuracy of the injection dose and scanning time is also very important for the calculation of SUV. The setting of the SUV threshold needs to be adjusted according to the specific application scenario and disease type. Different diseases and scanning conditions may require different SUV thresholds, and the obtained SUV value of the region of interest is used as the output metabolic feature.

Based on the changes in the parameter values of the morphological features, determine the changing trend of the tumor area; for example, calculate the growth rate of the area and the rate of change of the perimeter. The growth and change of tumors is a dynamic process. By collecting images at different time points, it is possible to capture subtle changes in the tumor during this process, including changes in volume, shape, and relationship with surrounding tissues. Some tumors grow slowly in the early stages, and images at a single time point may not accurately reflect their existence or changes. By comparing multiple time points, signs of tumor growth can be discovered earlier, which helps with early diagnosis and treatment.
根据肿瘤区域的变化趋势,确定纹理特征值的变化情况;对于纹理特征值的变化情况,根据纹理特征的灰度共生矩阵、Gabor滤波器响应、小波变换系数,确定每个纹理特征的对比度、相关性,比较不同时间点或不同条件下纹理特征值,从而确定肿瘤的生长模式、内部结构的改变以及与治疗效果的关联。According to the change trend of the tumor area, the change of the texture eigenvalue is determined; for the change of the texture eigenvalue, the contrast and correlation of each texture feature are determined according to the grayscale co-occurrence matrix, Gabor filter response, and wavelet transform coefficient of the texture feature, and the texture eigenvalues at different time points or under different conditions are compared to determine the tumor growth pattern, changes in internal structure, and its association with treatment effect.

The network weights are trained through the back-propagation algorithm to minimize the classification error. The hyperparameters such as the network structure and learning rate are adjusted to optimize the model performance, thereby training the feature vector to improve the classification performance of tumor characteristics.

在进行参数调整时,结合交叉验证来避免过拟合,并找到在验证集上表现最好的参数组合。When adjusting parameters, combine cross-validation to avoid overfitting and find the parameter combination that performs best on the validation set.
在上述步骤中,通过预处理和纹理特征提取,可以有效地改善图像质量,突出肺部结构中的重要细节,利用提取的纹理特征,对肺部CT图像进行分割处理,并根据获取的PET图像对当前的CT图像辅助处理,可以帮助快速定位并提取出疑似肿瘤的区域,比较多个时间点的图像,可以更准确地识别肿瘤,并了解其生长和代谢特性;从而提高整个肿瘤检测和分析系统的性能和可靠性。In the above steps, through preprocessing and texture feature extraction, the image quality can be effectively improved, and important details in the lung structure can be highlighted.
