摘　　要：针对磁共振图像(MRI)进行脑胶质瘤检测及病灶分割对临床治疗方案的选择和手术实施过程的引导都有着重要的价值。为了提高脑胶质瘤的检测效率和分割准确率,该文提出了一种两阶段计算方法。首先,设计了一个轻量级的卷积神经网络,并通过该网络完成MR图像中肿瘤的快速检测及大致定位;接着,通过集成学习过程对肿瘤周围水肿、肿瘤非增强区、肿瘤增强区和正常脑组织等4种不同区域进行分类与彼此边界的精细分割。为提高分割的准确率,在MR图像中提取了416维影像组学特征并与128维通过卷积神经网络提取的高阶特征进行组合和特征约简,将特征约简后产生的298维特征向量用于分类学习。为对算法的性能进行验证,在BraTS2017数据集上进行了实验,实验结果显示该文提出的方法能够快速检测并定位肿瘤,同时相比其它方法,整体分割精度也有明显提升。The glioma detection and focus segmentation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)has important value for the therapeutic schedule selection and the surgical operations.In order to improve the detection efficiency and segmentation accuracy for glioma,this paper proposes a two-stage calculating method.First,a light convolutional neural network is designed to implement rapidly detection and localization for the glioma in MR images.Then,the peritumoral edema,non-enhancing tumor,enhancing tumor,and normal are classified and segmented from each other through an Ensemble Learning(EL)process.In order to improve the accuracy of segmentation,416 radiomics features extracted from multi-modal MR images and 128 CNN features extracted by a convolutional neural network are mixed.The feature vector consisting of 298 features for classification learning are formed after a feature reduction process.In order to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm,experiments are carried out on the BraTS2017 dataset.The experimental results show that the proposed method can quickly detect and locate the tumor.The overall segmentation accuracy is improved distinctly with respect to 4 state-of-the-art approaches.
