Abstract
A brain tumor image segmentation method and device are disclosed. The disclosed method includes acquiring a basic white matter template generated based on brain magnetic resonance images of a plurality of healthy samples, collecting corresponding low, mid and high b-value diffusion weighted images of the brain of a patient, segmenting out a tumor region including the tumor body and the edema on each image based on the signal distribution of each image in a first set image group of the patient, removing the normal white matter region from the tumor region according to the basic white matter template and the high b-value diffusion weighted image, and classifying the value of the voxel in each image in a second set image group and a second apparent diffusion coefficient image obtained through calculations to obtain a tumor body region and an edema region.
