Abstract

An enhanced medical images processing method and a computing device includes: acquiring series of enhanced medical images and detecting a phase of each enhanced medical image in the series of enhanced medical images using a pre-trained 3D convolutional neural network model. A plurality of target enhanced medical images from the enhanced medical image are selected according to the phases. A plurality of interest images is obtained by identifying and segmenting an interest region in each of the plurality of target enhanced medical images, and finally registering the plurality of interest images. The registered images have clear phase markers and are all spatially aligned, allowing a subsequent doctor or clinician to directly use the registered interest images for diagnosis without the need to rescan the patient.
