| Sumario: | In order to improve the accuracy of cirrhosis staging diagnosis based on MR images, a diagnostic method combining image texture feature extraction and classification algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the liver MR image is preprocessed, the region of interest (ROI) image patch is extracted therefrom, and the ROI image is quantized and compressed by the Lloyd algorithm. Then, the ROI image is filtered by a local binary pattern (LBP) operator, and then the texture feature of a 20-dimensional gray-level co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) in four directions on the LBP image is extracted. Finally, MR image is classified by performing support vector machine (SVM) and the final diagnosis of liver cirrhosis is obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately diagnose liver cirrhosis.
