1 Introduction to Medical Image Processing Δ Essential environments of a medical imaging system Subject Image Analysis Energy Imaging System Images Image Processing Feature Images Image processing may be a post-imaging or pre-analysis operator. Functions of Image processing and Image analysis may overlap each other. 1
2 Δ Goals of medical image analysis techniques: Quantification: Measuring the features on medical images, eg., helpng radiologist obtain measurements from medical images (e.g., area or volume). * To make the features measurable, it is necessary to extract objects from images by segmentation. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD): given measurements and features make a diagnosis. Help radiologists on their diagnosis procedure for accuracy and efficiency. Evaluation and validation techniques. 2
3 Δ General image analysis (regardless of its application) encompasses: incorporation of prior knowledge classification of features matching of model to sub-images description of shape many other problems and approaches of AI... Δ About Digital Image Processing What is an Image? Formal definition: A digital image is a multi-dimensional signal that is sampled in space and/or time and quantized in amplitude. Looser definition: An image is a picture." The brightness values in the picture may represent distance, reflectivity, density, temperature, etc. The image may be 2-D (planar), 3-D (volumetric), or N-D. 3
4 Image elements: An image may be composed of: 2-D: pixels = picture elements 3-D: voxels = volume elements 4-D and higher: hypervoxels = hypervolume elements What do images represent? For medical images, pixels may represent parameters such as: X-ray attenuation (density) Water (proton) density Acoustic impedance (distribution) Optical reflectivity (or impedance) Electrical activity, etc.... How are images processed? Manual analysis: processed by human Semi-automatic analysis: human and computer work together to process image Automatic analysis: computer processes image, human reviews the results 4
5 Purposes of image processing: Preprocess image to reduce noise and blur (filtering) Identify structures within the image (segmentation) Extract useful information from the image (quantification) Prepare the image for visualization (enhancement, reconstruction) * Exact processing steps depend on the application. What we do to images: Enhancement: Noise reduction Deblur Improve contrast Identify structures in image (segmentation): Identify homogeneous regions in an image (label image pixels = segmentation) Measure: 5
6 For example: Heart chamber volumes, Heart wall motion, Brain activity, Fetus size/gender, Lesion size and extent, Visualize: For example: Surgical/Therapy planning, Image-guided surgery Δ Processing verse Analysis Medical image processing Deals with the development of problem specific approaches to enhance the raw medical data for the purposes of selective visualisation as well as further analysis. Medical image analysis Concentrates on the development of techniques to supplement the usually qualitative and frequently subjective assessment of medical images by human experts. Provides quantitative, objective and reproducible information extracted from the medical images 6

8 Δ Why Image Enhancement? Can t distinguish between tissues The nature of the physiological system under investigation and the procedures used in imaging may diminish the contrast and the visibility of details. Data is too noisy for computer algorithm to perform well Medical images are often deteriorated by noise due to various sources of interference and other phenomena that affect the measurement processes in imaging and data acquisition systems. Imaging artifacts interfere with visualization or computer processing Δ How to Enhance Image? By operations to Increase contrast Remove noise Emphasize edges: Edge boost, Unsharp masking. Modify shapes 8
9 * Image enhancement techniques range from linear to nonlinear, from fixed to adaptive, and from pixel-based to multiscale methods, Δ Contrast Enhancement by Histogram Equalization 9
10 Δ Enhancement by adaptive wavelet shrinkage denoising (only subimages with diagnostic information are reconstructed). 10
11 Δ Enhancement by adaptive filtering: noise or speckle reduction. Adaptive image filtering needs some a priori information about the image. ( This is an image modeling problem) Geometric or statistical information are the primary information used. 11
12 Δ Medical Image Segmentation Segmentation, separation of structures of interest from the background and from each other, is an essential analysis function for which numerous algorithms have been developed in the field of image processing. The principal goal of the segmentation process is to partition an image into regions that are homogeneous with respect to one or more characteristics or features. Segmentation is an important tool in medical image processing, and it has been useful in many applications. The applications include detection of the coronary border in angiograms, multiple sclerosis lesion quantification, surgery simulations, surgical planning, measurement of tumor volume and its response to therapy, functional mapping, automated classification of blood cells, study of brain development, detection of microcalcifications on mammograms, image registration, atlas-matching, heart image extraction from cardiac cineangiograms, detection of tumors, etc. 12
13 In medical imaging, segmentation is important for feature extraction, image measurements, and image display. In some applications it may be useful to classify image pixels into anatomical regions, such as bones, muscles, and blood vessels, while in others into pathological regions, such as cancer, tissue deformities, and multiple sclerosis lesions. => Segmentation can be thought as the preprocessor for further analysis. A wide variety of segmentation techniques have been proposed. However, there is no standard segmentation technique that can produce satisfactory results for all imaging applications. 13
14 Segmentation techniques can be divided into classes in different ways. e.g., based on the classification scheme: Manual, semiautomatic, and automatic Pixel-based (local methods) and region-based (global methods). Low-level segmentation (thresholding, region growing, etc.), and Model-based segmentation (multispectral or feature map techniques, Marcov random field, deformable models, etc.). * Model-based techniques are suitable for segmentation of images that have artifacts, noise, and weak boundaries between structures. * Deformable models: Snake model and Level Sets Classical (thresholding, edge-based, and region-based techniques), Statistical, Fuzzy, and Neural network techniques. 14
15 Δ Histogram analysis Histogram analysis is usually required before doing segmentation, it is a pixel-based technique. An example The information from histogram Number of modes Mode to mode contrast Spread of each mode (seperability)
16 x < < x <50 x > 50 x < 30 contains mostly the bone 30 < x < 50 contains mostly the fluid region x > 50 contains mostly the tissue region, All of them are noisy and partially correct => Simple thresholding can not provide satisfactory segmentation 16
17 Δ The general question is: How are the pixels grouped? => Contour detection and linking or Region growing approaches What is criterion of the homogeneity (or connectivity) for growing? * Pixel connectivity can be deterministic or probabilistic. Δ Edge detection Edges detected using Sobel s and Canny s detectors As the result of pixel-thresholding, detected edges are noisy and erroneous. Pre-processing for noise suppresion or contour modeling are required. 17
18 Δ Image Modeling by Random Process (Field) Images are in general treated as pieces of information, which are essentially random processes. Random process theory provides rich ways to handle the information carried in images When images are represented as random process, an image x( i, j ) is treated as a realization of the random process X ( i, j ). Thus, an ( N N) image is considered as the outcomes of 2 N random number generators. The 2D index ( i, j ) is referred as site s ( i, j), and collection of all sites S { s } is named as a site system or lattice system in the field of statistical mechanical system. x S xs 18
19 Δ Definition of Neighborhood System Definitions s - site or lattice point, s S S - set of lattice points X s - the value of X at s s - the neighboring points of s A neighborhood system s must be symmetric r s s r also s s Example of 8 point neighborhood Neighbors of x ( 22, ) s ( 2, 2) s {( 1, 1),( 1, 2),( 1, 3),( 2, 1),( 2, 3),( 3, 1),( 3, 2),( 3, 3)} 19
20 Δ A simple Markov Random Field (MRF) model Definition of MRF: A random field X on the lattice S with neighborhood system s is said to be a Markov random field, if for all s S, p( x x ) p( x x ) s i s s s A very simple MRF model: the Ising model, it is described by the conditional probability model exp xx s' s s p( xs x s) 1 exp x s' s s ' s ', with X { 0, 1 } For small, the model represents fine texture images For large, the model represents coarse texture images s 20
21 Δ Bayesian image restoration (or segmentation) x = Imaging y = p(x) p(y x) MRF Models (either learned or known) Restoration p( x y ) MAP Restoration = Maximizing p( x y) p( y x) p( x) Optimal estimate x* = 21
22 From Bayes theorem: Posterior Likelihood Prior Normalization Factor P( True Image Observation) P( Observation True Image) P( True Image) P( Observation ) Prior: P( True Image ) = Probabilitic Model of image Likelihood: P( Observation True Image ) = Probabilitic Model of Imaging Process Both the prior and the likelihood allow the introduction of expert knowledge: The prior can express assumptions about what the true scene should be, e.g., piecewise smooth, which is essentially a Markovian assumption. The likelihood can incorporate knowledge about the degradation and distortions introduced in the imaging process. It gives the probability about what the observations should be based on the true scene, when degraded by additive or multiplicative noise, blurring, etc. 22
23 Δ Application-texture segmentation This image can be segmented to be any one of the followings by using different value of This image can be segmented as the followings by using different value of 23
24 = 0.1 = 0.2 = 0.5 = 1.0 = 2.0 = 4.0 * A three level MRF model is used. 24
