Diagnostic equipment for suspected tuberculosis and image processing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses diagnostic equipment for suspected tuberculosis. The diagnostic equipment comprises a control device and an input device, an output device and a power supply device which are connected with the control device in series respectively, wherein the control device is an STC12C5A60S2 series singlechip microcomputer, the input device is a keyboard and a PC interface circuit, and the output device is a speech output device; and by the image processing method, the image information is divided into three categories, totally eight types of characteristics, a value corresponding to each type of characteristics is set, the values corresponding to the three categories of characteristics are summed to give a result value, the result value is divided into three value intervals, and one image processing result corresponding to each interval is outputted. When the diagnostic equipment is used for non-professional tuberculosis prevention and control organizations, a finding rate of patients suffering tuberculosis is improved, the spread of tuberculosis among people is avoided, a misdiagnosis rate and a rate of missed diagnosis are both greatly lowered, the work load of medical staff in the X-ray department, the working efficiency is improved, and the information on the medical staff making the diagnosis is also recorded in order to apply a responsibility system and strengthening the sense of responsibility of the medical staff.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical diagnostic instruments, and more specifically relates to a suspected pulmonary tuberculosis diagnostic instrument and an image processing method thereof. 【Background technique】 [0002] Tuberculosis was called the "white plague" or "consumption" in the 19th century. I don't know how many people have lost their relatives or friends to this ruthless and severe infectious disease. In the 20th century, a variety of effective antibiotics and preventive drugs produced a rapid reduction in tuberculosis cases worldwide. For this reason, the United States even believed that tuberculosis could be eradicated by the end of the 20th century in the early 1980s. However, this stubborn "consumption" A new round of challenges has been launched to mankind. According to the report of the World Health Organization, tuberculosis has resurged all over the world in recent years. In 1995, 3 million people died of the ...

Problems solved by technology

In my country, the discovery of pulmonary tuberculosis mainly relies on radiologists in general hospitals at all levels to make subjective judgments based on X-ray findings and then refer them to professional tuberculosis institutions for diagnosis and control. , Inaccurate judgment of chest X-ray shadows or negligence in work often lead to missed transfer or overdiagnosis of tuberculosis. According to a sample survey in Shenzhen, the misdiagnosis rate of tuberculosis is 11%, while the rate of missed diagnosis in some areas of my country is as high as 47%. This survey result is only a sample survey result, but it also reflects the severe situation of tuberculosis diagnosis in my country to a certain extent.

Misdiagnosis results in referral of inactive pulmonary tuberculosis patients (those who do not need treatment), which not only increases the financial burden and psychological pressure of patients, but also wastes medical resources, while missed transfers that require referral not only delay the disease, but also directly affect the quality of pulmonary tuberculosis. disease detection rate
