Abstract :
According to grayscale changing characteristics of the brain CT, this paper improves region growth algorithm on the basis of in-depth analysis of brain CT image. In order to get the best combination of the features, the algorithm that extracts the shape feature considering the adjacent parts is proposed based on the idea of chart transferring tree in the tree structure comprehensively. Compared with the traditional extracting algorithms which aim at the whole picture or a single part, the experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a higher diagnostic accuracy.
