Abstract

Accurate prostate segmentation in CT images is a significant yet challenging task for image guided radiotherapy. In this paper, a novel semi-automated prostate segmentation method is presented. Specifically, to segment the prostate in the current treatment image, the physician first takes a few seconds to manually specify the first and last slices of the prostate in the image space. Then, the prostate is segmented automatically by the proposed two steps: (i) The first step of prostate-likelihood estimation to predict the prostate likelihood for each voxel in the current treatment image, aiming to generate the -D prostate-likelihood map by the proposed Spatial-COnstrained Transductive LassO (SCOTO); (ii) The second step of multi-atlases based label fusion to generate the final segmentation result by using the prostate shape information obtained from the planning and previous treatment images. The experimental result shows that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods on prostate segmentation in a real prostate CT dataset, consisting of patients with images. Moreover, it is also clinically feasible since our method just requires the physician to spend a few seconds on manual specification of the first and last slices of the prostate.

摘要

在CT图像中进行准确的前列腺分割对于图像引导放射治疗而言是一项重要却具有挑战性的任务。本文提出了一种新颖的半自动前列腺分割方法。具体而言,为了在当前治疗图像中分割前列腺,医生首先花费几秒钟在图像空间中手动指定前列腺的第一和最后切片。然后,通过以下两个步骤自动分割前列腺:(i)前列腺似然估计的第一步,预测当前治疗图像中每个体素的前列腺似然性,旨在通过提出的空间约束转导拉索(SCOTO)生成三维前列腺似然性图;(ii)基于多图谱的标签融合的第二步,通过使用从计划和先前治疗图像中获得的前列腺形状信息生成最终分割结果。实验结果表明,在一个由患者的图像组成的真实前列腺CT数据集中,所提出的方法在前列腺分割方面优于几种先进方法。此外,它在临床上也是可行的,因为我们的方法只要求医生花费几秒钟手动指定前列腺的第一和最后切片。
