TL;DR: In this article, a method for automatically measuring the Cobb angle of a lumbar spondylolisthesis, fracture and other symptoms is presented, which is suitable for operating personnel with less Cobb angle measurement experience.
Abstract: The invention discloses a method for automatically measuring a Cobb angle. The method comprises the following steps of step1, preprocessing; step2, carrying out an enhanced watershed segmentation algorithm; step3, extracting each spine center point and fitting a curve; and step4, automatically calculating the Cobb angle. In the method of the invention, upper and lower terminals do not need to be manually established so that the robustness of the algorithm is high, and the method is suitable for operating personnel with less Cobb angle measurement experience; the modes of segmenting-extractingthe center point and fitting the curve are used to represent the curvature of a spine and the method can be further used in the diagnosis of lumbar spondylolisthesis, fracture and other symptoms. Through using the above mode, the curvature of the spine can be effectively and visually displayed. The result of the method is stable and an error is small.

TL;DR: By measuring the cerebral hemorrhage volume of several patients and analyzing the results, the applicability and effectiveness of this algorithm are validated.
Abstract: Cerebral hemorrhage is a cardiovascular disease with high mortality and disability rates. In order to measure the hematoma volume of patients with cerebral hemorrhage accurately and quickly, we propose a method that is based on spatial information intuitionistic fuzzy kernel clustering segmentation algorithm. Firstly, the skull structures are removed from cerebral CT images. Then the skull removal images are segmented by the algorithm proposed in this paper. Based on kernel functions, the algorithm adds neighborhood information terms to the objective function, introduces weight factors based on the spatial information, and modifies the membership matrix based on the location information of the hematoma. Finally, the hematoma volume is calculated based on the segmentation results. By measuring the cerebral hemorrhage volume of several patients and analyzing the results, the applicability and effectiveness of this algorithm are validated.
