Bone age measurement method and system, electronic equipment and computer readable storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a bone age measurement method and system, electronic equipment and a computer readable storage medium. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring an ultrasonic image and preprocessing the ultrasonic image; performing quality screening on the ultrasonic image by using a trained quality control model based on deep learning; extracting an ossification center region and a cartilage region from the ultrasonic image qualified in quality screening by using a trained multi-target segmentation model based on deep learning; and performing multi-target feature fusion on the ossification center region, the cartilage region and the clinical information, and performing XGBoost regression analysis on the fused multi-target features to obtain a bone age measurement value. The bone age measuring method and system are noninvasive and non-radiative to the human body, high in safety, convenient to detect and accurate in detection result.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bone age measurement, in particular to a bone age measurement method, system, electronic equipment and computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] Bone age is an index that reflects the degree of bone maturity in children. The evaluation of bone age and the identification of its difference from actual age play an important role in pediatric clinical work. At present, the most commonly used bone age assessment method is the X-ray film of the hand and wrist, but X-ray examination has ionizing radiation, which is not conducive to short-term multiple examinations of children. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, ionizing radiation-free, convenient and economical imaging method, which has been widely used in clinical work. [0003] Recent studies have shown that using conventional ultrasound to measure the ossification center of the bone and the height of the epiphyseal cartilage to obtain the os...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Recent studies have shown that using conventional ultrasound to measure the ossification center of the bone and the height of the epiphyseal cartilage to obtain the ossification rate can be used to evaluate the bone age, but there are problems such as manual operation errors and unrealized automatic measurement, which is not convenient for ultrasound Physician Use and Promotion
