Depth scanning and information analysis-based upper limb lymphedema monitoring system

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices and particularly discloses a depth scanning and information analysis-based upper limb lymphedema monitoring system. The system comprises three parts including a scanning platform, a software analysis system and a cloud platform, wherein the scanning platform obtains depth and color data of upper limb of a patient suffering from edema and is controlled to run by the software analysis system; the software analysis system performs automatic grading diagnosis on the edema through depth scanning, image processing and information analysis; a doctor performs intervention treatment on the patient through a diagnosis result; the cloud platform stores the data of the scanning platform and the software system, and creates a personalized archive for the patient; and the doctor can perform remote medical treatment on the patient according to the cloud platform. According to the system, the multifunctionality and high efficiency of edema monitoring can be realized; edema assessment is performed by adopting multi-feature fusion analysis, and comprehensive analysis is performed through multiple features such as space, color, texture and the like, so that the system is superior to a current measurement form for a single index of the edema; and the system is low in cost, small in occupied space and convenient to use, and is of important significance for popularization and use in families and hospitals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to an upper limb lymphedema monitoring system. Background technique [0002] At present, the measurement methods of upper limb lymphedema mainly include water replacement method (Mckinnon, et al. 2007), arm circumference measurement method (Talor, et al. 2006), Perometer method (Lee, et al. 2011), bioelectrical impedance analysis method (Warren, et al. 2007) and three-dimensional scanning method, but now the main methods used in domestic clinical practice are water replacement method and arm circumference measurement method. [0003] The water replacement method is still the clinical "gold standard", but the measurement steps are cumbersome, and it is not suitable for patients with damaged skin. Perometer precision is also very high, but the equipment is bulky and expensive, making it difficult to popularize. The arm circumference measurement method is greatl...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, in the Kinect literature, many of them stay in the comparison of choosing the gold standard for volume measurement, but how to use the obtained color data, cloud storage of data to obtain a monitoring system that can be used in clinical practice, etc.

[0005] At the same time, the current clinical classification of swelling degree of edema is too broad, generally divided into 4 stages or 5 stages, which is not conducive to the doctor's quantitative assessment and adjuvant treatment and intervention

[0006] To sum up, the current method still has two patterns of low precision but cheap or high accuracy but expensive. Expensive equipment such as Perometer and large-scale three-dimensional scanning equipment...
