摘要:

背景:通过分析超声血管图像能反映血管的病变情况。
目的:采用区域生长理论对超声图像进行图像分割,分析边界点的相对位移。
方法:先对视频图像分帧,将动态图像转换为静态图像,采用Gabor滤波、自适应直方图量化去除超声图像噪声,然后运用区域生长法对图像做分割,接着通过开闭运算、sobel算子检测图像边界,最后提取出两条血管边界。
结果与结论:通过Gabor滤波、区域生长法等手段,得到了比较好的分割结果。区域生长法在处理速度上满足了实时性要求,具有一定的通用性。并且通过分析边界点的相对位移曲线,一定程度上反映血管的病变。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It can reflect pathological changes of the blood vessel through the analysis of vascular images in ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE: Based on region-growing algorithm to segment ultrasound images and analyze the boundary point relative displacement
METHODS: Firstly, we decompressed video images into frames, transformed dynamic images into static, and then applied Gabor filtering and adaptive histogram quantization to reduce speckle noise in ultrasound images and segmented the images through region-growing algorithm. Combined with open and close operation and sobel edge detection, we have finally extracted two boundaries of the blood.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The method we proposed obtains the quite good segmentation result, and the method of region-growing meets the requirement of real-time in terms of processing speed. Furthermore, the boundary point relative displacement curve can reflect pathological changes of the blood vessel to some extent, which lays a solid foundation for researches on morphology of the blood vessel and haemodynamics and has important meanings for pathophysiology.
