  • Publication number: 20240078756
    Abstract: An image generation method includes obtaining a modality image corresponding to a first modality, and performing modality conversion on the modality image through a first candidate network to obtain a generated image corresponding to a second modality different from the first modality. The generated image is a three-dimensional image. The method further includes performing modality restoration on the generated image through a second candidate network to obtain a restored image corresponding to the first modality and obtaining a constraint loss value based on a modality conversion effect of the generated image and a modality restoration effect of the restored image. The constraint loss value indicates a mapping loss in mapping the modality image to a three-dimensional image space by the first candidate network. The method also includes training the first candidate network based on the constraint loss value to obtain an image conversion network.

  • Publication number: 20240023927
    Abstract: For three-dimensional segmentation from two-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography imaging, the three-dimension segmentation is output by a machine-learnt multi-task generator. Rather than the brute force approach of training the generator from 2D ICE images to output a 2D segmentation, the generator is trained from 3D information, such as a sparse ICE volume assembled from the 2D ICE images. Where sufficient ground truth data is not available, computed tomography or magnetic resonance data may be used as the ground truth for the sample sparse ICE volumes. The generator is trained to output both the 3D segmentation and a complete volume (i.e., more voxels represented than in the sparse ICE volume). The 3D segmentation may be further used to project to 2D as an input with an ICE image to another network trained to output a 2D segmentation for the ICE image. Display of the 3D segmentation and/or 2D segmentation may guide ablation of tissue in the patient.

  • Patent number: 11854205
    Abstract: This application relates to a medical image segmentation method, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining medical image data; obtaining a target object and weakly supervised annotation information of the target object in the medical image data; determining a pseudo segmentation mask for the target object in the medical image data according to the weakly supervised annotation information; and performing mapping on the medical image data by using a preset mapping model based on the pseudo segmentation mask, to obtain a target segmentation result for the target object. Because the medical image data is segmented based on the weakly supervised annotation information, there is no need to annotate information by using much labor during training of the preset mapping model, thereby saving labor costs. The preset mapping model is a model used for mapping the medical image data based on the pseudo segmentation mask.
