Abstract:
The aim of this study was to explore the adoption of the variable model algorithm in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image analysis and evaluate the effect of the algorithm-based MRI in the diagnosis of spinal metastatic tumor diseases. 100 patients with spinal metastatic tumors who were treated in hospital were recruited as the research objects. All patients were randomly divided into the experimental group (MRI image analysis based on variable model) and the control group (conventional MRI image diagnosis), and the MRI of the experimental group was segmented using the conventional algorithm with variable model and the improved algorithm with GVF force field. The accuracy index (Dice coefficient D) values were used to evaluate the vertebral segmentation effect of the improved variable model algorithm with the introduction of GVF force field, and the recognition rate, sensitivity, and specificity indexes were used to evaluate the effects of the two algorithms on the recognition of MRI image features of spinal metastatic tumors. The results showed that the mean D value of the variable model improvement algorithm for the segmentation of five vertebrae of spinal metastatic tumors was significantly improved relative to the conventional variable model algorithm, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). At the number of 80 iterations, the recognition rate, sensitivity, and specificity of MRI image segmentation of the traditional variable model algorithm processing group were 89.32%, 74.88%, and 86.27%, respectively, while the recognition rate, sensitivity, and specificity of MRI image segmentation of the variable model improvement algorithm processing group were 97.89%, 96.75%, and 96.45%, respectively. The results of the latter were significantly better than those of the former, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); and the comparison of MRI images showed that the variable model improvement algorithm was more rapid and accurate in identifying the focal sites of patients with spinal metastases. The accuracy of MRI images based on the variable model algorithm increased from 69.5% to 92%, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In short, MRI image analysis based on the variable model algorithm had great adoption potential in the clinical diagnosis of spinal metastatic tumors and was worthy of clinical promotion.
