New auto-segment method of cerebral hemorrhage

A novel method for Computerized tomography (CT) cerebral hemorrhage (CH) image automatic segmentation is presented in the paper, which uses expert system that models human knowledge about the CH automatic segmentation problem. The algorithm adopts a series of special steps and extracts some easy ignored CH features which can be found by statistic results of mass real CH images, such as region area, region CT number, region smoothness and some statistic CH region relationship. And a seven steps' extracting mechanism will ensure these CH features can be got correctly and efficiently. By using these CH features, a decision tree which models the human knowledge about the CH automatic segmentation problem has been built and it will ensure the rationality and accuracy of the algorithm. Finally some experiments has been taken to verify the correctness and reasonable of the automatic segmentation, and the good correct ratio and fast speed make it possible to be widely applied into practice.
