Automatic pneumothorax detection system based on A-mode ultrasound and A-mode ultrasound image classification method

Abstract

According to an automatic pneumothorax detection system based on A-mode ultrasound and the A-mode ultrasound image classification method, whether pneumothorax is generated or not can be automatically detected, dependence on skills and experience of operators is greatly reduced, and the diagnosis rate and accuracy of pneumothorax and the working efficiency of doctors are greatly improved. The system is low in cost, high in efficiency and good in portability, and comprises an A-type ultrasonic instrument, a pleura line automatic identification and positioning module, a feature extraction module and an AI classification module, the A-type ultrasonic instrument is used for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves to a human body so as to obtain an A-ultrasonic image; the automatic chest mold line identifying and positioning module is used for positioning the position of a chest mold line in the image; the feature extraction module is used for extracting texture information features in the recognition image; and the AI classification module is used for carrying out intelligent classification learning on the image according to the texture information features and outputting a classification result so as to realize automatic detection of pneumothorax.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical technology, in particular to an A-ultrasound-based automatic detection system for pneumothorax and an A-ultrasound image classification method. Background technique [0002] Pneumothorax refers to the gas entering the pleural cavity, resulting in a gas accumulation state, usually due to lung disease or external force, the lung tissue and visceral pleura are ruptured, or the tiny emphysema bubbles near the lung surface are ruptured, and the air in the lungs and bronchi escapes into the pleural cavity . Those caused by chest wall or lung trauma are called traumatic pneumothorax, and those caused by spontaneous rupture of lung tissue due to disease are called spontaneous pneumothorax. Pneumothorax is one of pulmonary emergencies, which can be life-threatening in severe cases, and can be cured if treated in time. [0003] At present, the imaging methods for the diagnosis of pneumothorax are mainly chest X-ray...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the diagnosis of pneumothorax is mostly carried out in the emergency department. Due to the lack of basic knowledge and skills of ultrasound image interpretation by emergency doctors, the ultrasound diagnosis rate of pneumothorax is low, the efficiency is low, and the treatment is easily delayed.
