摘要

We propose a new subtraction technique for accurately imaging lung perfusion and efficiently detecting pulmonary embolism in chest MDCT angiography. Our method is composed of five stages. First, optimal segmentation technique is performed for extracting same volume of the lungs, major airway and vascular structures from pre- and post-contrast images with different lung density. Second, initial registration based on apex, hilar point and center of inertia (COI) of each unilateral lung is proposed to correct the gross translational mismatch. Third, initial alignment is refined by iterative surface registration. For fast and robust convergence of the distance measure to the optimal value, a 3D distance map is generated by the narrow-band distance propagation. Fourth, 3D nonlinear filter is applied to the lung parenchyma to compensate for residual spiral artifacts and artifacts caused by heart motion. Fifth, enhanced vessels are visualized by subtracting registered pre-contrast images from post-contrast images. To facilitate visualization of parenchyma enhancement, color-coded mapping and image fusion is used. Our method has been successfully applied to ten patients of pre- and post-contrast images in chest MDCT angiography. Experimental results show that the performance of our method is very promising compared with conventional methods with the aspects of its visual inspection, accuracy and processing time.
