Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of disease detection, and in particular to an automatic detection method for cerebral cortical microinfarction, an automatic detection device and detection equipment for cerebral cortical microinfarction, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Cortical cerebral microinfarcts (CMIs) are the most common type of cerebral infarction, which is more common in the elderly and is independently associated with cognitive impairment and dementia. The incidence of cerebral cortical microinfarcts in patients with vascular dementia (VaD), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and elderly people without dementia is 62%, 43% and 24%, respectively.
[0003] However, due to the limitations of previous in vivo detection methods, in vivo research on CMIs is still in its initial stage, its etiology and disability mechanism have not yet been elucidated, and there is currently a lack of effective prevention and treatment methods.
[0005] Therefore, it is crucial to clarify the causes and disability mechanisms of CMIs and take targeted prevention and treatment measures to reduce their incidence and disability rates, which is also the current challenge.
[0006] The clinical diagnostic criteria for CMIs are:
[0007] 1. Location: limited to the cerebral cortex;
[0008] 2. Size: 0.5-4mm;
[0009] 3. As attached Figure 1 The signal characteristics shown are: low signal in T1 sequence, high signal in FLAIR sequence, and high signal in DIR sequence.
[0010] In clinical practice, the clinical diagnosis method of CMIs mainly relies on doctors to manually identify and mark the location of CMIs lesions in the patient's MRI images. This method relies on a high level of professionalism and clinical experience, resulting in certain differences in the diagnostic results of CMIs. In addition, doctors need to identify each MRI image with the naked eye, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The above pain points significantly limit the speed of standardized diagnosis and treatment of CMIs and high-quality research on large samples, making the research on CMIs progress slowly. To date, there is still a lack of effective prevention and treatment methods, and the mortality and disability rates remain high. Summary of the invention

[0075] The embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic detection method for cerebral cortical microinfarction, which can be implemented by a detection device, and the detection device can be a terminal or a server.
[0076] like Figure 2 The flowchart of the automatic detection method for cerebral cortical microinfarction shown in the figure may include the following steps:
[0077] In one aspect, a method for automatically detecting cerebral cortical microinfarction is provided, the method being implemented by a detection device, the method comprising:
[0078] S1, respectively obtain the patient's T1, FLAIR and DIR cranial MRI images, and use the cranial MRI images as input to build a corresponding CMIs recognition model based on CNN model training;
[0079] S2, collecting cerebral cortex cranial MRI images of clinical patients under MRI scanning sequences: T1, FLAIR and DIR, and inputting them into the CMIs recognition model, and using the CMIs recognition model to recognize and output cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal features under T1, FLAIR and DIR respectively;
[0080] S3. Compare the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal characteristics of clinical patients with the CMIs signal characteristics of clinical diagnostic standards to determine whether the clinical patients meet the CMIs criteria. The clinical diagnostic criteria are as follows: (1) Location: limited to the cerebral cortex; (2) Size: 0.5-4 mm; (3) Signal: T1 low signal, FLAIR high signal, DIR high signal;
[0081] S4. If the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal characteristics under three different scanning sequences appear on the cerebral cortex head MRI image of the clinical patient, the CMIs lesions at each contour position are located and marked to obtain the corresponding CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3;
[0082] S5. Based on the spatial registration method, the CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3 are registered to determine the CMIs lesions of the clinical patient and mark them on the cerebral cortex head MRI image of the clinical patient;
[0083] S6. Output the cerebral cortex cranial MRI image with the CMIs lesions marked.
[0084] In this embodiment:
[0085] T1, FLAIR and DIR, referred to as "3 scanning sequences of MRI" or "3 scanning sequences";
[0086] CMIs, short for “cerebral cortical microinfarction”;
[0087] CMIs recognition model, referred to as "AI model or CNN model".
[0088] Attached Figure 1 The diagnostic criteria for cerebral cortical microinfarction proposed in:
[0089] 1. Location: limited to the cerebral cortex;
[0090] 2. Size: 0.5-4mm;
[0091] 3. Signal: T1 low signal, FLAIR high signal, DIR high signal.
[0092] This standard is only a testing standard proposed by the present invention. If there are other standards, they can also be implemented according to the technical principles of the present invention.
[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, according to the clinical diagnostic criteria of CMIs, the cerebral cortex of CMIs patients will show different scanning signal characteristics under the three scanning sequences of MRI.
[0094] Therefore, this solution uses a deep learning model (mainly a convolutional neural network model - CNN model) to learn and train the cerebral cortex scan signal features of CMIs patients under three MRI scan sequences, so as to generate a corresponding AI recognition model. The AI recognition model can recognize the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal features under three scan sequences for clinical CMIs diagnosis.
[0095] First, massive scanning data of patients with cerebral cortical microinfarction under three scanning sequences are collected, and feature engineering is performed. The signal features generated in the feature engineering are learned and trained based on the deep learning model, and the corresponding AI model (CMIs recognition model) is constructed. The AI model is deployed on the background server for MRI image recognition and detection of cerebral cortical microinfarction in clinical patients, so as to quickly identify the signal features on MRI cerebral cortical scan images, assist doctors in quickly making clinical diagnoses of CMIs patients, and adopt a unified and objective detection method to avoid doctors from forming subjective diagnostic results and reduce the clinical requirements for the identification and detection of patients with cerebral cortical microinfarction.
[0096] Therefore, after collecting the cerebral cortical cranial MRI images of clinical patients, the AI model can be used to identify and output the signal features of the graphics under different scanning sequences, so that the background can make a cerebral infarction judgment on the clinical patients. If the cerebral cortical MRI scanning signal features under three different scanning sequences appear on the image, the current clinical patient is deemed to meet the CMIs. Furthermore, the characteristic image recognition and marking under the three scanning sequences are performed on the patient's image, and the CMIs lesions of the clinical patients are further determined on the scanned images through spatial registration and positioning, and the lesions are marked. The lesion location of the CMIs patient can be marked on the cerebral cortical MRI scan graphics, which allows doctors to quickly locate and identify the lesion location of the CMIs patient, thereby improving the detection efficiency of CMIs.
[0097] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, when determining whether the clinical patient meets the CMIs requirement, the following steps are further included:
[0098] If not, further determining the number of CMIs signal features of the clinical diagnostic standard that match the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal features;
[0099] If none of the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal features matches the CMIs signal features of the clinical diagnostic standard, directly outputting the cerebral cortex head MRI image;
[0100] If at least one of the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal features matches the CMIs signal feature of the clinical diagnostic standard, the contour position of the matched cerebral cortex MRI scan signal feature is marked on the cerebral cortex head MRI image of the clinical patient, and the cerebral cortex head MRI image with the marked contour position is output.
[0101] According to the diagnostic criteria for CMIs, CMIs patients need to show three different signal features on MRI images under three scanning sequences. Therefore, when the AI model identifies the corresponding signal features, it is necessary to determine whether the current clinical patient has the signal features required for the three clinical judgment conditions of cerebral cortical microinfarction.
[0102] Therefore, if it is identified that the scan image of the current patient has signal features under three scanning sequences, that is, three different types of signal features, then the current patient is determined to meet the CMIs; if there is only one, two, or none, then the current patient is determined not to meet the judgment criteria of CMIs, and at this time, the current patient is determined not to be CMIs.
[0103] However, in order to allow doctors to conduct further examinations and treatments on patients, this solution will also mark and output the patient's cortical MRI scan signal features identified on the image when it is determined that the patient does not meet the CMIs criteria, so as to facilitate doctors to conduct further diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
[0104] For the specific method of marking the identified signal features on the image (the patient's cerebral cortex head MRI image), please refer to the clinical medicine marking method.
[0105] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S5, after registering the CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3 based on the spatial registration method to determine the CMIs lesions of clinical patients, it also includes:
[0106] Acquire a registered cranial MRI image of the CMIs lesion of a clinical patient;
[0107] Based on the three-dimensional reconstruction technology, the cranial MRI image of the CMIs lesion is three-dimensionally reconstructed to construct a three-dimensional CMIs lesion model corresponding to the CMIs lesion;
[0108] Output the three-dimensional CMIs lesion model of clinical patients.
[0109] The head MRI images under different scanning sequences are three-dimensional scanning images themselves. Therefore, they can be combined with three-dimensional scanning for three-dimensional reconstruction and three-dimensional model reconstruction of the marked CMIs lesion area, so as to obtain an intuitive three-dimensional model of the lesion of the CMIs patient, which makes it easier for doctors to intuitively understand the area and size of the patient's CMIs lesion, etc., and to formulate surgical plans better and more accurately.
[0110] Using three-dimensional reconstruction of cranial MRI images can help doctors understand the patient's internal condition more accurately, thereby making more scientific diagnoses and treatment plans.
[0111] The following are the main steps for 3D reconstruction of cranial MRI images:
[0112] 1. Data acquisition: First, two-dimensional image data of the patient's body is obtained through MRI scanning equipment. MRI can generate detailed structural and functional images of the human body and is one of the commonly used imaging technologies in the medical field.
[0113] 2. Image preprocessing: The acquired MRI images may need some preprocessing operations to improve the image quality and the accuracy of subsequent 3D reconstruction. Preprocessing operations may include denoising, contrast enhancement, image registration, etc.
[0114] 3. 3D reconstruction algorithm: Next, the 2D MRI image is converted into a 3D model using a 3D reconstruction algorithm. Commonly used 3D reconstruction algorithms include multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), volume rendering, and surface rendering. These algorithms combine 2D image data into a 3D model in different ways to display the three-dimensional form of the internal structure of the human body.
[0115] Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR): MPR reconstructs the two-dimensional image obtained from the cross-sectional scan into three-dimensional data in voxels, and then reconstructs the coronal, sagittal, and oblique two-dimensional images of any plane based on the volume data. MPR can better display the complex anatomical structure of tissues and organs, which is conducive to the accurate positioning of lesions.
[0116] Volume rendering and surface rendering: Volume rendering and surface rendering are two commonly used direct 3D visualization techniques. Volume rendering generates 3D images by calculating the color and brightness of each voxel, which can show more details and internal structures; while surface rendering generates 3D images by extracting surface information of the area of interest, which has less calculation, but may lose some internal details.
[0117] 4. Post-processing and visualization: After the 3D reconstruction is completed, some post-processing operations may be required, such as smoothing, lighting rendering, etc., to improve the visualization effect of the 3D model. At the same time, the 3D model needs to be displayed to the user in an appropriate way, such as through virtual reality (VR) equipment, 3D printers, etc.
[0118] 5. Application and evaluation: Finally, 3D reconstructed MRI images are used for medical applications, such as auxiliary diagnosis, formulation of surgical plans, etc. At the same time, the accuracy and reliability of 3D reconstruction need to be evaluated to ensure its effectiveness in clinical applications.
[0119] The specific three-dimensional reconstruction is not described in detail in this embodiment, and the user can complete the three-dimensional reconstruction by himself.
[0120] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S5, after registering the CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3 based on the spatial registration method to determine the CMIs lesions of clinical patients, it also includes:
[0121] Saving the three-dimensional CMIs lesion model in OBJ format;
[0122] Importing the three-dimensional CMIs lesion model into MeshLab, and using the pyvista library in MeshLab to process and calculate the volume of the three-dimensional CMIs lesion model;
[0123] The volume of the three-dimensional CMIs lesion model is marked on the cerebral cortex cranial MRI image of a clinical patient.
[0124] In order to facilitate doctors to diagnose lesion volume and clinically evaluate the size and volume of lesions (tumors), this program uses a three-dimensional model volume calculation method to calculate the volume of the three-dimensional CMIs lesion model.
[0125] The methods for calculating the volume of a three-dimensional model are:
[0126] Use specialized software or libraries.
[0127] There are many CAD software and libraries (such as Blender, MeshLab, Open3D, etc.) that can calculate the volume of 3D models. These tools usually provide rich functions and options and can handle various complex shapes and models.
[0128] If you are using Python and your model is stored in some format (like STL, OBJ, etc.), consider using a library like pyvista or trimesh to process the model and calculate its volume. Here is an example using pyvista:
[0129] ```python,
[0130] import pyvista as pv,
[0131] Load the model (here we assume there is an STL file named 'model.stl'),
[0132] mesh = pv.read('model.stl');
[0133] Calculating volume
[0134] volume = mesh.volume,
[0135] print(f"The volume of the model is: {volume}").
[0136] like Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the patient's T1, FLAIR and DIR cranial MRI images are obtained respectively, and the cranial MRI images are used as input to build a corresponding CMIs recognition model based on CNN model training, including:
[0137] The cranial MRI images of several CMIs patients were collected under the MRI scanning sequences: T1, FLAIR and DIR and preprocessed;
[0138] Performing feature engineering on the head MRI images under T1, FLAIR and DIR scanning sequences, respectively extracting the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal features on the head MRI images under T1, FLAIR and DIR scanning sequences;
[0139] The extracted cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal features are used as input to a preset CNN model, and the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal features are trained and learned using a convolutional neural network to obtain the CMIs recognition model;
[0140] The CMIs recognition model is verified using the preset cerebral cortex head MRI images under the MRI scanning sequences: T1, FLAIR and DIR;
[0141] After verification, the CMIs recognition model is deployed on the background server.
[0142] Feature engineering is a very important step in image processing, which is used to extract meaningful features from raw images for subsequent analysis or model training. However, it should be noted that traditional feature engineering usually involves manually designing feature extractors, while modern deep learning methods automatically learn image features by training neural networks.
[0143] With the development of deep learning technology, more and more image processing tasks have begun to use deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically learn image features. This method is usually more effective and flexible than traditional manual feature extraction methods.
[0144] Extracting signal features from MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is a complex but effective process. Here is a detailed explanation of the process:
[0145] 1. MRI image characteristics:
[0146] MRI images provide three-dimensional scans of the body with high definition and no radiation harm to the human body.
[0147] The images contain a lot of structure and information, which are very helpful for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
[0148] However, MRI images also face challenges such as complex noise, high resolution, and large size, which require appropriate preprocessing.
[0149] 2. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Features:
[0150] CNN is a type of feedforward neural network that includes convolution calculations and has a deep structure. It is one of the representative algorithms of deep learning.
[0151] It has representation learning capabilities, is capable of translation-invariant classification, and is suitable for pattern recognition tasks such as image and speech.
[0152] The convolution kernel parameter sharing within the hidden layer of CNN and the sparsity of inter-layer connections enable it to learn grid features with less computation.
[0153] 3. MRI image feature extraction based on CNN:
[0154] Preprocessing: Perform denoising, normalization and other preprocessing operations on MRI images to improve image quality and reduce noise interference.
[0155] Convolutional layer: Use multiple convolution kernels to perform convolution operations on the MRI image to extract local features in the image. These convolution kernels can be designed to detect different features such as edges, shapes or textures.
[0156] Pooling layer: Reduce the size of the image by downsampling, reduce the amount of calculation, and retain important feature information. Common pooling operations include maximum pooling and average pooling.
[0157] Fully connected layer: Integrate the features extracted by the convolutional layer and the pooling layer, and perform feature fusion and classification through multiple fully connected layers.
[0158] Optimization and Training: CNN is trained on a large dataset of MRI images using optimization methods such as back-propagation algorithm and gradient descent to optimize network parameters and improve the accuracy of feature extraction.
[0159] Using convolutional neural networks to extract signal features from cranial MRI images is a complex but effective process, which combines the high definition of MRI images with the powerful learning ability of CNN, providing strong support for medical diagnosis and treatment.
[0160] Specifically, the process of training and learning the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal features using a convolutional neural network to obtain the CMIs recognition model can be implemented in combination with the training and learning principles of CNN.
[0161] Model verification and testing can be performed based on accuracy, sensitivity, AUC curve, etc., which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0162] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the S3, comparing the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal characteristics of the clinical patient with the CMIs signal characteristics of the clinical diagnostic standard to determine whether the clinical patient meets the CMIs, comprises:
[0163] Read the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal characteristics of clinical patients under T1, FLAIR and DIR, and analyze and obtain the position, size and signal characteristics of the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal characteristics;
[0164] The cerebral cortex MRI scan signal features under T1, FLAIR and DIR are compared with the position, size and signal features of the CMIs signal features of the preset clinical diagnostic standard one by one to determine whether they are consistent:
[0165] If they are consistent, the clinical patient is judged to meet CMIs;
[0166] Otherwise it does not meet the requirements.
[0167] After reading the clinical patient's cerebral cortex scan image, the signal features therein are compared with the signal features in the diagnostic criteria, and the position, size, and signal feature values of the signal features are compared one by one. If they match the signal features in the diagnostic criteria, the patient is identified as a CMIs patient, otherwise not.
[0168] like Figure 5 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S4, if CMIs is met, then according to the contour position of the cerebral cortex MRI scan signal characteristics of the clinical patient, the CMIs lesions at each contour position are located and marked to obtain the corresponding CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3, including:
[0169] According to the characteristic images shown by the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal characteristics under T1, FLAIR and DIR, respectively, the image contours displayed by each of the cerebral cortex MRI scanning signal characteristics on the cerebral cortex head MRI image are obtained;
[0170] Based on the same positioning reference, the contours of each image were positioned and marked to obtain the CMIs lesion areas of the cerebral cortex under T1, FLAIR and DIR: C1, C2 and C3.
[0171] Spatial registration methods of lesions are of great significance in the medical field, especially in surgical navigation and lesion localization.
[0172] In the medical field, spatial registration refers to the registration of corresponding points in medical images from different sources (such as CT, MRI, etc.) to obtain the spatial relationship between them.
[0173] For the tracking and positioning of lesions, spatial registration is an important basis for realizing visual medical technology. Through spatial registration, the lesion area determined by the scan can be visualized in the navigation image, helping doctors to more accurately determine the location and boundary of the lesion.
[0174] MRI scanning system, in the display interface of the scanned image, the system has its own positioning reference (a coordinate system can be set).
[0175] The scanning signal characteristics of the patient under different scanning sequences can be used to determine the lesion area and contour under the corresponding scanning sequence according to the position of the characteristic image where each scanning signal characteristic is located. Therefore, the lesion positioning mark can be made on the corresponding scanning image according to the image contour of the characteristic image represented by each signal characteristic. The corresponding lesion area mark can be made on the scanning image under different scanning sequences based on the system default positioning reference.
[0176] Because different scan images are obtained under different scanning sequences, each scan image is positioned according to a unified positioning reference, which facilitates the positioning and marking of the lesion area on each scan image. It is then convenient to fuse and locate the lesion area on each scan image and determine the lesion area of the patient.
[0177] In the coordinate system of the scanning system, the lesion area can be determined by its three-dimensional spatial coordinates based on the characteristic image contour (the three-dimensional coordinates of each pixel point on the edge of the lesion). Therefore, after the system gives the positioning memory, the characteristic image contours on each scanned image will be positioned according to a unified reference, and the corresponding lesion areas will be determined on each scanned image: C1, C2 and C3.
[0178] In order to finally determine the location of the lesion, the lesion regions on the three sequential scanning images are fused to obtain the final lesion location.
[0179] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S5, based on the spatial registration method, the CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3 are registered, the CMIs lesions of clinical patients are determined and marked on the cerebral cortex head MRI image of clinical patients, including:
[0180] The center point of the MRI scanning system is used as a reference;
[0181] Determine respectively the first spatial relationship, the second spatial relationship and the third spatial relationship between the CMIs lesion areas: C1, C2 and C3 and the benchmark;
[0182] The first spatial relationship, the second spatial relationship and the third spatial relationship are integrated to obtain the spatial coordinate relationship of the CMIs lesion of the clinical patient;
[0183] According to the spatial coordinate relationship, the CMIs lesion of the clinical patient is positioned and marked on the cerebral cortex head MRI image of the clinical patient.
[0184] According to the above description, the lesion regions on the scanned images under the three scanning sequences have their own three-dimensional spatial relationships. Therefore, each point on the contour of the lesion region can be fused according to the spatial coordinates to generate the final spatial coordinates of the lesion.
[0185] Specifically, the contour coordinates of the three lesion areas, such as X, Y, and Z, are averaged to generate the X coordinate of the final lesion. The other Y and Z axes are also averaged to generate the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the final lesion. Through the above average calculation method, the spatial relationship of the lesion areas on the three images can be used to fuse the spatial coordinates of the final patient's cerebral infarction lesion and mark them on the head MRI image.
[0186] By adopting the above-mentioned spatial registration, the lesion areas on the three scanning sequence images are used to register and determine the patient's final cerebral infarction lesion location, which can accurately determine the lesion coordinates and provide more accurate diagnostic results.
[0187] In addition to the above registration, the final coordinate position of the lesion can also be located by the following multiple sets of scan data registration method. The main steps are as follows:
[0188] 1. Data acquisition:
[0189] Use medical imaging equipment (such as CT, MRI, PET-CT, etc.) to scan the patient and obtain multiple sets of original medical imaging data containing lesion information.
[0190] 2. Data preprocessing:
[0191] Perform denoising, enhancement, and standardization on raw medical image data to improve the stability and accuracy of subsequent algorithms.
[0192] 3. Data registration:
[0193] Data registration is a mathematical calculation process that transforms a large set of three-dimensional spatial data points in two or more coordinate systems into a unified coordinate system.
[0194] Control points or targets are set in the scanning area so that there are three or more control points or control targets with the same name on the scanning point cloud of adjacent areas.
[0195] By forcibly attaching control points, adjacent scan data are unified into the same coordinate system.
[0196] The mainstream data registration methods include point set to point set registration method (PSTPS), iterative closest point method, etc.
[0197] During the registration process, it is necessary to solve the rotation matrix R and the three-dimensional translation vector t to describe the transformation relationship between the two coordinate systems.
[0198] 4. Lesion localization technology:
[0199] In the unified coordinate system after registration, the lesion localization technology is used to accurately locate the lesion.
[0200] Common lesion localization technologies include image segmentation technology, feature extraction technology, and three-dimensional reconstruction technology.
[0201] Image segmentation technology divides the images in medical images and separates the lesion area of interest from normal tissue.
[0202] Feature extraction technology extracts key features that can represent lesions from images, such as shape, texture, color, etc.
[0203] Three-dimensional reconstruction technology restores medical imaging data into a three-dimensional model, providing more intuitive and accurate lesion location information.
[0204] 5. Coordinate determination:
[0205] After processing and analysis through the above-mentioned techniques, the final coordinate position of the lesion in the unified coordinate system can be determined.
[0206] This coordinate position can be used for subsequent disease diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical navigation, etc.
[0207] 6. Algorithm optimization:
[0208] Through the above steps, using multiple sets of scanning data registration technology, the final coordinate position of the lesion can be accurately located, providing strong support for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
