Benefits of technology

This patented technique allows researchers to analyze blood vessel images from various medical devices without having them physically touch their body or rely heavily on subjective judgment. It uses advanced techniques like computerized tomographic scans and magnetic resonance imagings to enhance visualization capabilities while reducing errors associated therewith. By doing these processing steps beforehand, we are able to identify specific areas containing abnormal tissue patterns which could indicate potential future complications during treatment procedures. Overall, our technical effect lies in providing faster and easier ways to diagnose disease conditions earlier by gathering relevant patient information about those who have had previous treatments.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution describes how current methods involve manually extracting characteristic values from images obtained during examinations like angiography, CT scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, X-ray fluorescence testing, positron emission tomography (PET) scanings, and biomedical techniques can help identify areas where abnormalities may be present early enough to take appropriate actions based upon these findings. However, this method requires significant human effort due to its slowness and potential variations between individuals who make up their own unique dataset.

specific Embodiment approach 1

[0021] Such as figure 1 As shown, a method for analyzing the attributes of intravascular plaques based on deep transfer learning given in this embodiment is specifically carried out in accordance with the following steps:

[0022] Step 1. Acquire multimodal intravascular image data clinically, specifically including intravascular ultrasound images and intravascular OCT images, where multimodal refers to images of the inner wall of blood vessels obtained by different imaging methods, and OCT is optical coherence tomography;

[0023] Step 2. Manually mark the attributes of intravascular plaques: doctors determine the attributes of intravascular plaques according to the image characteristics of the acquired intravascular image data, and classify intravascular plaques. Intravascular plaques include calcified plaques and lipid plaques plaques, fibrous plaques, lipid plaques with thinner fibrous surges, and various mixed plaques, etc.; and mark the images. In order to improve the qu...

specific Embodiment approach 2

[0028] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the process of preprocessing the intravascular image described in Step 3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0029] Step 31. Convert the 8-bit grayscale marked intravascular image into 24-bit three-channel, and implement it by copying channels. This step is to realize the parameter migration of the first layer of the network and ensure the number of input image channels Consistent with the number of natural image channels;

[0030] Step 32, using a denoising method to perform denoising processing on the intravascular ultrasound image and intravascular OCT image data transformed in step 31;

[0031] Step 33: Perform multi-scale filtering on the intravascular ultrasound image and OCT image data after denoising processing, express the information contained in the intravascular image data in multiple scales, and mine the inherent characteristics of the intravascular image data.

specific Embodiment approach 3

[0032] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the denoising method described in step 32 is preferably an average filtering method or a Gaussian smoothing filtering method.

Abstract

The invention discloses an intravascular plaque attribute analysis method based on depth migration learning, belonging to the medical science image processing field. The invention particularly relatesto an intravascular plaque attribute analysis method based on depth migration learning. The intravascular plaque attribute analysis method comprises steps of obtaining multi-mode intravascular imagedata in a clinical mode, artificially marking an attribute of an intravascular plaque, performing pre-processing on a marked intravascular image, using intravascular image data which is pre-processedas an input of a depth convolution neural network, adopting a learning method with supervision to perform depth convolution neural network training, adopting a back-propagation-algorithm-based stochastic gradient descent mode to perform network parameter learning, adopting trained multiple cross-modal prediction models to perform voting fusion prediction on the intravascular image obtained from the step 1 and generating a plaque kind probability graph. The intravascular plaque attribute analysis method based on depth migration learning solves a problem that the prior art is labor-consuming andlow in speed and has artificial difference. The intravascular plaque attribute analysis method based on depth migration learning can be used for intravascular image processing.
