The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image features based on convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm and conditional random field on the diagnosis and mental state of patients with severe stroke. 208 patients with severe stroke who all received MRI examination were recruited as the research objects. According to cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD) score, the patients were divided into CSVD 0∼4 groups. The patients who completed the three-month follow-up were classified into cognitive impairment group (124 cases) and the noncognitive impairment group (84 cases) according to the cut-off point of the Montreal cognitive assessment (MOCA) scale score of 26. A novel image segmentation algorithm was proposed based on U-shaped fully CNN (U-Net) and conditional random field, which was compared with the fully CNN (FCN) algorithm and U-Net algorithm, and was applied to the MRI segmentation training of patients with severe stroke. It was found that the average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) (3.13 ± 1.35), Hoffman distance (HD) (28.71 ± 9.05), Dice coefficient (0.78 ± 1.35), accuracy (0.74 ± 0.11), and sensitivity (0.85 ± 0.13) of the proposed algorithm were superior to those of FCN algorithm and U-Net algorithm. There were significant differences in the MOCA scores among the five groups of patients from CSVD 0 to CSVD 4 in the three time periods (0, 1, and 3 months) ( P < 0.05 ). Differences in cerebral microhemorrhage (CMB), perivascular space (PVS), and number of cavities, Fazekas, and total CSVD scores between the two groups were significant ( P < 0.05 ). Multivariate regression found that the number of PVS, white matter hyperintensity (WMH) Fazekas, and total CSVD score were independent factors of cognitive impairment. In short, MRI images based on deep learning image segmentation algorithm had good application value for clinical diagnosis and treatment of stroke and can effectively improve the detection effect of brain domain characteristics and psychological state of patients after stroke.

To study the influence of different sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images on the segmentation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions, the U-Net was improved. Moreover, deep fusion network (DFN), data enhancement strategy, and random data (RD) strategy were introduced, and a multisequence MRI image segmentation algorithm based on DFN was proposed. The segmentation experiments of single-sequence MRI image and multisequence MRI image were designed, and the segmentation result of single-sequence MRI image was compared with those of convolutional neural network (FCN) algorithm. In addition, RD experiment and single-input experiment were also designed. It was found that the sensitivity (0.595 ± 0.145) and DSC (0.587 ± 0.113) obtained by improved U-Net were significantly higher than the sensitivity (0.405 ± 0.098) and DSC (0.468 ± 0.115, P < 0.05 ) obtained by U-Net. The sensitivity of multisequence MRI image segmentation algorithm based on DFN (0.779 ± 0.015) was significantly higher than that of FCN algorithm (0.604 ± 0.056, P < 0.05 ). The multisequence MRI image segmentation algorithm based on the DFN had higher indicators for liver cancer lesions than those of the improved U-Net. When RD was added, it not only increased the DSC of the single-sequence network enhanced by the hepatocyte-specific magnetic resonance contrast agent (Gd-EOB-DTPA) by 1% but also increased the DSC of the multisequence MRI image segmentation algorithm based on DFN by 7.6%. In short, the improved U-Net can significantly improve the recognition rate of small lesions in liver cancer patients. The addition of RD strategy improved the segmentation indicators of liver cancer lesions of the DFN and can fuse image features of multiple sequences, thereby improving the accuracy of lesion segmentation.

With the development of computer vision and image segmentation technology, medical image segmentation and recognition technology has become an important part of computer-aided diagnosis. The traditional image segmentation method relies on artificial means to extract and select information such as edges, colors, and textures in the image. It not only consumes considerable energy resources and people’s time but also requires certain expertise to obtain useful feature information, which no longer meets the practical application requirements of medical image segmentation and recognition. As an efficient image segmentation method, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely promoted and applied in the field of medical image segmentation. However, CNNs that rely on simple feedforward methods have not met the actual needs of the rapid development of the medical field. Thus, this paper is inspired by the feedback mechanism of the human visual cortex, and an effective feedback mechanism calculation model and operation framework is proposed, and the feedback optimization problem is presented. A new feedback convolutional neural network algorithm based on neuron screening and neuron visual information recovery is constructed. So, a medical image segmentation algorithm based on a feedback mechanism convolutional neural network is proposed. The basic idea is as follows: The model for obtaining an initial region with the segmented medical image classifies the pixel block samples in the segmented image. Then, the initial results are optimized by threshold segmentation and morphological methods to obtain accurate medical image segmentation results. Experiments show that the proposed segmentation method has not only high segmentation accuracy but also extremely high adaptive segmentation ability for various medical images. The research in this paper provides a new perspective for medical image segmentation research. It is a new attempt to explore more advanced intelligent medical image segmentation methods. It also provides technical approaches and methods for further development and improvement of adaptive medical image segmentation technology.

Medical image segmentation is a key technology for image guidance. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of image segmentation play an important role in image-guided surgery. Traditional machine learning methods have achieved certain beneficial effects in medical image segmentation, but they have problems such as low classification accuracy and poor robustness. Deep learning theory has good generalizability and feature extraction ability, which provides a new idea for solving medical image segmentation problems. However, deep learning has problems in terms of its application to medical image segmentation: one is that the deep learning network structure cannot be constructed according to medical image characteristics; the other is that the generalizability y of the deep learning model is weak. To address these issues, this paper first adapts a neural network to medical image features by adding cross-layer connections to a traditional convolutional neural network. In addition, an optimized convolutional neural network model is established. The optimized convolutional neural network model can segment medical images using the features of two scales simultaneously. At the same time, to solve the generalizability problem of the deep learning model, an adaptive distribution function is designed according to the position of the hidden layer, and then the activation probability of each layer of neurons is set. This enhances the generalizability of the dropout model, and an adaptive dropout model is proposed. This model better addresses the problem of the weak generalizability of deep learning models. Based on the above ideas, this paper proposes a medical image segmentation algorithm based on an optimized convolutional neural network with adaptive dropout depth calculation. An ultrasonic tomographic image and lumbar CT medical image were separately segmented by the method of this paper. The experimental results show that not only are the segmentation effects of the proposed method improved compared with those of the traditional machine learning and other deep learning methods but also the method has a high adaptive segmentation ability for various medical images. The research work in this paper provides a new perspective for research on medical image segmentation.
