Abstract

A method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for extracting a cardiovascular vessel from a CTA image, the method including the steps of: performing erosion operation and dilation operation on image data successively via a preset structural element to obtain a structure mask; performing a slice-by-slice transformation on the plane of section images of the structural mask to acquire the first ascending aortic structure in the structural mask, and acquiring an aortic center position and an aortic radius in the last slice of the plane of section image of the said structural mask; establishing a binarized sphere structure according to the aortic center position and the aortic radius, and synthesizing a second ascending aorta structure by combining the first ascending aorta structure with the structure mask and the binarized sphere structure.
