基于多模态卷积神经网络的脑血管提取方法研究

Research on Brain Vessel Extraction via Multi-Modal Convolutional Neural Networks

  • 摘要: 提出了一种基于多模态的卷积神经网络对脑部CT血管造影图像(CTA)进行分割,从而实现脑血管的单独提取。该方法首先对原始CTA图像进行高斯和拉普拉斯处理, 并将处理后的图像与原始图像共同构成多模态图像作为输入,然后通过多个并行的卷积神经网络对多模态图像进行分割,最终将所有的分割结果通过线性回归进行融合从而提取出脑血管。该文通过一系列的实验不仅证明了卷积神经网络在脑血管分割上的有效性,而且证明了本文所提出方法的分割效果比现有的脑血管分割算法更加出色。

     

    Abstract: This paper presents a method based on multi-modal convolution neural networks to segment the brain CT angiography image (CTA) for brain vessel. This method firstly processes the original image by adopting the Gaussian and Laplacian filter, respectively, and constructs the multi model image as the input by combining processed images with the original image together. Next, these multi model images will be respectively segmented through a number of parallel convolutional neural networks. Finally, all the segmentation results are fused by employing the linear regression to extract the brain vessel. By evaluating the experiment with the real data acquired from the hospital, it can be proved that the convolution neural network is an effective method for segmenting the cerebral vessels. Moreover, the final result shows that our proposed segmenting method is more accurate than the existing algorithms.
