The aim of this research was to explore the relationship between depression and brain nerve function in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and long-term maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) based on watershed segmentation algorithm using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technology. A total of 29 ESRD patients with depression who received MHD treatment in the hemodialysis center of hospital were included as the research subjects (case group). A total of 29 healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group, and a total of 29 ESRD patients with depression and brain lesions were recruited as the control group (HC group). Within 24 h after hemodialysis, the blood biochemical indexes were collected before this DTI examination. All participants completed the neuropsychological scale (MoCA, TMT A, DST, SAS, and SDS) test. The original DTI data of all subjects were collected and processed based on watershed segmentation algorithm, and the results of automatic segmentation according to the image were evaluated as DSC = 0.9446, MPA = 0.9352, and IOU = 0.8911. Finally, the average value of imaging brain neuropathy in patients with depression in the department of nephrology was obtained. The differences in neuropsychological scale scores (PSQI, MoCA, TMTA, DST, SAS, and SDS) between the two groups were statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The differences of FA values in all the white matter partitions of Fu organs, except the cingulum of hippocampus (CgH) between the two groups, were statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). ESRD and DTI quantitative detection under the guidance of watershed segmentation algorithm in MHD patients showed that ESRD patients can be early identified, so as to carry out psychological nursing as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of depression, and then protect the brain nerve to reduce brain neuropathy.

An automatic method for quantification of images of microvessels by computing area proportions and number of objects is presented. The objects are segmented from the background using dynamic thresholding of the average component size histogram.To be able to count the objects, fragmented objects are connected, all objects are filled, and touching objects are separated using a watershed segmentation algorithm.The method is fully automatic and robust with respect to illumination and focus settings.A test set consisting of images grabbed with different focus and illumination for each field of view, was used to test the method, and the proposed method showed less variation than the intraoperator variation using manual threshold.Further, the method showed good correlation to manual object counting (r= 0.80) on an other test set.
