Abstract
The disclosure provides a multi-target 3D ultrasound image segmentation method based on simulated and measured data. The method includes: presetting conventional acoustic parameters; collecting raw 3D data; employing an initial segmentation algorithm to segment the raw 3D data; substituting with the conventional acoustic parameters according to probability in order to form a transitional image model; performing a simulation operation; performing transformation to obtain simulated data; performing a comparison operation; adjusting corresponding magnitude of the probability in each probability variable, and returning to the step of substituting with the conventional acoustic parameters. According to the probability, the conventional acoustic parameters are substituted into a model of an incomplete target tissue, the simulation operation is then performed, the probability is adjusted, and repeatedly, corrections are performed continuously in an iterative convergence manner till each incomplete target tissue is completely substituted by a certain normal tissue or lesion tissue.
