Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and its automatic segmentation are pivotal in assisting physicians with clinical diagnoses. In recent years, with the scarcity of labeled data, significant advancements have been made in semi-supervised segmentation. However, the prediction of many current methods is affected by the presence of false positive regions, which limits their reliability in clinical applications. To tackle this issue, we propose a pseudo-label optimization method based on polar coordinate modeling and prior constraints (PMPC), which refines false positive regions in pseudo-labels by leveraging prior knowledge within the polar coordinate system. Firstly, to improve the efficiency and rationality during polar coordinate modeling, the Adaptive Pole Selection (APS) algorithm is presented to ensure that the pole is located within the foreground region. Secondly, to mitigate false positive regions in pseudo-labels that violate medical anatomical priors, we propose the Prior Knowledge Constraint in Polar Coordinate System (KCP) module to reassign pixel categories in these regions. Finally, the Shape-Aware Weighting strategy is presented to evaluate the quality of the optimized pseudo-labels based on their shape and then determine their weight in guiding network parameter updates. Experiments on three MRI datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can be effectively integrated with existing pelvic MRI segmentation approaches, significantly reducing false positive rates and further improving segmentation quality.
