The solution was dehydrated, and the dilution and concentration steps were repeated 3 times to generate a fluorescent targeting probe solution.

[0074] The fluorescent targeting probe solution includes bound fluorescent targeting peptides, residual graphene oxide and unbound fluorescent molecules.

[0075] The specific steps to generate the target binding region label are:

[0076] Based on the fluorescent targeted probe solution, a microneedle system is used to inject the sample tissue through uniform injection operation, control the injection depth and diffusion range, observe the injection uniformity, and generate the injection distribution structure;

[0077] Based on the injection distribution structure, the specimen is placed in a constant temperature and humidity environment, and the target peptide gradually binds to the target molecule to complete the formation of the labeled area and record the distribution to generate a targeted binding area marker;

[0078] Based on the fluorescent targeted probe solution, a microneedle system was used to perform injection operations on the specimen tissue. The injection equipment parameters were set to a pressure of 50 kPa, an injection depth of 2 mm, and an injection speed of 0.5 μL / s. The tissue surface was covered by a uniform injection grid with a needle spacing of 1.5 mm. A high-resolution imaging device was used to scan the injection point distribution point by point to generate an injection position data set. The injection spacing deviation was extracted from the position data set and the injection equipment parameters were corrected to generate an injection distribution structure.

[0079] Based on the injection distribution structure, the specimen was placed in a constant environment with the ambient temperature set to 37°C and the humidity set to 75%. A matching algorithm was used to monitor the targeted binding process through time-series imaging of the specimen area. Specifically, a regional positioning algorithm based on differential analysis was used, and the binding time limit between the targeting peptide and the target molecule was set to 30 minutes. The imaging data was collected frame by frame and differentially calculated according to the time node. The binding was determined to be complete when the standard deviation of the regional statistics was less than 0.05. The marked area was located in the corresponding regional map of the specimen surface to generate a targeted binding area marker.

[0080] The target binding region marker includes the fluorescent region formed by the binding of the targeting peptide to the tumor-specific molecule, the distribution range of the marker signal intensity and the boundary of the unlabeled region.

[0081] The specific steps to generate the marker signal contour map are:

[0082] Based on the targeted binding area marking, a near-infrared fluorescence imaging device is used to collect the light signal data on the surface of the specimen point by point. The light signal intensity is collected at fixed time intervals and the position parameters are recorded to generate the light signal data on the surface of the specimen.

[0083] Based on the optical signal data on the specimen surface, the wavelength range of the optical signal is separated by using a regional scanning method. The stray light signal is eliminated by signal partition processing and repeated scanning to generate separated wavelength signal data.

[0084] Based on the separated wavelength signal data, the sample contour is extracted by screening the peak intensity area according to the gradient change of the collected signal, and the marked boundary line is generated by combining the contour boundary connection processing to generate the marked signal contour mapping;

[0085] Based on the targeted binding area marking, a near-infrared fluorescence imaging device was used to collect the optical signal data of the specimen surface point by point. The moving interval was set to 0.5 mm, and the optical signal collection frequency was set to 10 Hz. The optical signal intensity at each position was recorded and bound to the collection position parameters. The collected signals were preliminarily separated using the spectral analysis method. The analysis parameter range was 700 nm to 900 nm. The sampling interval was set to 2 nm through fixed step analysis. The analyzed optical signal data was automatically encoded and stored to generate the optical signal data of the specimen surface.

[0086] Based on the optical signal data of the specimen surface, the signal is separated step by step in wavelength range by using a regional scanning method. The scanning area is set to a 10×10mm unit block, and the scanning optical signal range is set to 700nm to 900nm. The stray optical signal is eliminated by using a noise elimination algorithm with multiple iterations. The threshold of the elimination operation is set to 5% of the peak value of the optical signal, and the number of repeated scans is 5 times. The data after elimination is integrated by wavelength segmentation, and each segment signal is generated into a segmented signal matrix according to the wavelength sequence to generate separated wavelength signal data.

[0087] Based on the separated wavelength signal data, the peak area is extracted by a signal screening algorithm with a dynamic threshold according to the gradient change of the collected signal. The dynamic threshold is set as the signal gradient change is greater than three times the standard deviation of the mean. The signal peak of the extracted area is outlined, and the contour connection algorithm is used to connect the points with similar gradients. The connection parameter is that the distance between adjacent points is less than 1mm. The connected boundary line is fitted with a smooth curve to generate a complete contour, and a marker signal contour mapping is generated;

[0088] Among them, the marker signal contour mapping includes the signal boundary position, the spatial distribution of different fluorescence intensity areas and the marking results of the optical signal wavelength range.

[0089] The specific steps to generate signal partition boundary data are:

[0090] Based on the mapping of the marked signal contour, the part with signal strength lower than the set threshold is eliminated, the low-intensity area is eliminated one by one through the signal screening operation, and the remaining data points are re-marked to generate the screened signal data;

[0091] Based on the screening signal data, the spatial area is divided through the continuity analysis of the light signal intensity distribution characteristics, and the mutation point position is located through step-by-step signal screening to generate spatial partition contour data;

[0092] Based on the spatial partition contour data, the complete dividing line is generated by integrating the partition contour information, and the accurate boundary of the area where the signal changes significantly is marked by boundary correction to generate signal partition boundary data;

[0093] Based on the marker signal contour mapping, the signal strength screening algorithm is used to screen the data points. The screening threshold is set to 20% of the signal strength below the regional mean. The signal points below the threshold are removed point by point. The remaining signal points are re-marked in combination with the data point redistribution characteristics. The marked data are grouped using matrix indexing operations and the spatial distribution matrix of the remaining signal points is generated to generate the screened signal data.

[0094] Based on the screening signal data, the spatial area is divided by the optical signal intensity distribution characteristic analysis algorithm, and the neighborhood range is set to the signal point spacing less than 1mm by the continuity analysis method. The signal points that meet the conditions are partitioned and classified according to the regional label. The intensity change rate of the signal points in the partition is analyzed point by point by using a recursive function to locate the position of the mutation point where the intensity change amplitude is greater than two times the standard deviation of the mean. The regional contour data of the mutation point is marked and the continuous partition boundary line is generated by the curve fitting method to generate the spatial partition contour data;

[0095] Based on the spatial partition contour data, the partition contour integration algorithm is used to connect the partition boundary points one by one. The boundary integration rule is set as the distance between adjacent points is less than 2 mm. The complete dividing line is generated in the order of the contour. The boundary correction algorithm is used to re-mark the significant change points of the boundary. The marking rule is that the signal gradient mutation rate is greater than 3 times the standard deviation of the regional mean. The optimized boundary is generated through the spatial position redefined by the correction point, and the signal partition boundary data is generated.

[0096] Among them, the signal partition boundary data includes the boundary line of the significant signal partition, the signal strength distribution in the area and the spatial position of the abnormal signal.

[0097] The specific steps to generate an optimized tumor tissue boundary map are:

[0098] Based on the signal partition boundary data, measure the boundary signal strength gradient change point by point, calculate and record the signal strength difference, analyze the change rate point by point for the abnormal fluctuation area and mark the position, and generate abnormal signal position data;

[0099] Based on the abnormal signal location data, the signal contour shape is adjusted by gradually removing abnormal points and interference signals, and the breakpoint area is reconnected and the contour curve is corrected through signal continuity analysis to generate the adjusted signal boundary contour;

[0100] Based on adjusting the signal boundary contour, the signal intensity continuity of the boundary curve area is optimized and adjusted, and a complete area map is generated by correcting and connecting the signal boundary line segment by segment to generate an optimized tumor tissue boundary map;

[0101] Based on the signal partition boundary data, the gradient measurement algorithm is used to calculate the change rate of the boundary signal strength point by point. The measurement parameter is set to a neighborhood window size of 3 points. The signal strength difference between each point and its previous and next points is calculated. The signal change is quantified using the differential formula. The strength difference of each point is recorded and the local change rate is calculated. The change rate standard is that the absolute value of the difference is greater than 3 times the average difference. The fluctuation abnormal area that exceeds the threshold is marked point by point to generate abnormal signal location data.

[0102] Based on the abnormal signal position data, the abnormal points and interference signals are gradually eliminated by using the abnormal elimination and contour adjustment algorithm. The elimination rule is that the change rate of the neighborhood signal strength is less than 0.5 times the average change rate. The contour shape of the signal points after elimination is adjusted. The signal continuity analysis method is used to reconstruct the disconnected area through the breakpoint connection algorithm. The breakpoint connection parameter is to directly connect the point pairs with a distance of less than 2mm. The contour curve is corrected by using the smooth fitting algorithm. The fitting function is set to a cubic polynomial to generate the adjusted signal boundary contour.

[0103] Based on adjusting the signal boundary contour, the signal intensity continuity optimization algorithm is used to optimize the boundary curve area, the signal intensity distribution of the curve is analyzed segment by segment, and the curve is corrected by piecewise linear fitting. The fitting parameters are that the segment length is set to 5mm, and the fitting error threshold is less than 0.01. The corrected segments of the curve are connected segment by segment to generate a complete boundary curve, thereby generating an optimized tumor tissue boundary map.

[0104] The optimized tumor tissue boundary mapping includes an optimized boundary contour, an adjusted boundary point set, and a regional distribution after eliminating interference signals.

[0105] The measurement process of the boundary signal intensity gradient change is to obtain the signal intensity value of each sampling point from the signal partition boundary data, collect the signal value point by point at a fixed interval, calculate the intensity difference between adjacent points, and record the measurement results as a set of continuous gradient change data;

[0106] The analysis and determination method of the fluctuation abnormal area is to set a threshold as the determination standard according to the recorded gradient change data. If the intensity difference of multiple consecutive points exceeds the threshold, it is determined to be a fluctuation abnormal area. The starting point and end point of each abnormal area are recorded as the boundary of the area.

[0107] The specific steps for generating the signal distribution map of the cutting edge site are:

[0108] Based on the optimized tumor tissue boundary mapping, the specimen resection margin sites are located one by one and the optical signal data of each site is extracted. The relationship between the signal and the position is established by recording the signal intensity value and the site coordinates, and the optical signal point set of the resection margin site is generated.

[0109] Based on the optical signal point set of the cutting edge site, the center position of the signal is located by analyzing the optical signal intensity distribution, and the preliminary spatial area is delineated based on the distribution characteristics of each point. The point set is reintegrated based on the site distribution characteristics to generate the cutting edge site distribution data;

[0110] Based on the distribution data of the cutting edge sites, a convolutional neural network is used to connect the various regions by analyzing the relationship between the distribution trend of the point set and the signal intensity. A two-dimensional distribution map is generated by marking the position relationship of the sites in the spatial distribution range to generate a cutting edge site signal distribution map.

[0111] Based on the optimization of tumor tissue boundary mapping, a point-by-point positioning algorithm is used to locate the specimen resection margin site. The optical signal data extraction method of each site is used to collect the optical signal point by point. The sampling interval is set to 1mm. The signal intensity value of each site is recorded and bound to the site space coordinates. The signal value and the position coordinates are associated and stored using a hash mapping function to generate a resection margin site optical signal point set.

[0112] Based on the optical signal point set of the incision margin site, the signal distribution of each point was analyzed using the signal intensity distribution analysis algorithm. The signal intensity peak was calculated and the signal center was located using the Gaussian fitting model. The fitting parameters were a window size of 5 mm and an error threshold of 0.02. The center position was marked, and the initial spatial area was delineated by the clustering algorithm based on the distribution characteristics of all sites. The clustering parameters were a maximum distance of 1.5 mm and a minimum sample number of 10. The point set data was reintegrated using the marked center position to generate the incision margin site distribution data.

[0113] Based on the distribution data of the cutting edge sites, a convolutional neural network was used to analyze the distribution trend of the point set and the relationship between the signal intensity. The network model structure included three convolutional layers, each with a convolution kernel size of 3×3, a step size of 1, and an activation function of ReLU. The pooling layer was used to downsample the convolution results of each layer, with a pooling size of 2×2. The weight parameters were adjusted through back propagation based on the training data, and the classifier was used to map the point set relationship in each region to a two-dimensional space to generate a signal distribution map of the cutting edge sites.

[0114] The signal distribution diagram of the cutting edge site includes the spatial coordinates of the site signal, the intensity value of the signal center and the distance relationship between each site.

[0115] Convolutional neural network, according to the formula:

[0116]

[0117] Where: Y represents the fluorescence intensity value of each pixel in the generated cut edge site signal distribution map, w i represents the weight parameter in the convolution kernel, x i represents the fluorescence signal intensity value of the point set in the cutting edge site distribution data, and α represents the local density di The weight coefficient, d i represents the local density of the point set, and β represents the signal intensity gradient z i The weight coefficient, z i represents the gradient value of the fluorescence signal intensity, and γ represents the distance p between the point and the center of the window i The weight coefficient, p i represents the distance between the cutting edge site in the point set and the center of the convolution window, b represents the bias term, and f represents the activation function;

[0118] Execution process: First, according to the fluorescence detection data of the oral cancer resection margin specimen, the fluorescence signal intensity value of each point set is extracted and recorded as x i , and calculate the local density value d within each window i , obtained by calculating the number of points in the window and dividing it by the window area, and then calculating the gradient value z of the signal strength i , by performing partial derivative operation on the spatial distribution of the fluorescence signal in the window, extracting the direction and rate of signal change, obtaining the signal change trend, and then calculating the distance between each point set and the center of the convolution window, denoted as p i , obtained by calculating the square root of the sum of the squares of the coordinates of the point set and the coordinates of the center of the window, and introducing weight coefficients α, β, and γ for local density, signal gradient, and the distance between the point and the center, respectively, to adjust the impact on the generation of the final fluorescence distribution map. Next, the convolution kernel is used to perform weighted summation on each window, including the signal intensity x i , local density d i , signal gradient z i and the distance value p i , plus the bias term b, and then input into the activation function f. The activation function introduces nonlinear mapping to enhance the expression ability of the signal, and finally obtains the signal distribution map of the cutting edge site.

[0119] The specific steps for generating the incision margin area positioning map are as follows:

[0120] Based on the signal distribution map of the incision margin site, the spatial distribution positions of the signal center and the boundary points are measured point by point, and the position offset is gradually marked by calculating the distance difference between each center point and the adjacent boundary point, and the offset characteristics of the overlapping area are recorded to generate the boundary offset data;

[0121] Based on the boundary offset data, the offset direction of the site is corrected by gradually adjusting the positioning points with larger offsets, and the positioning points are rearranged to match the signal distribution characteristics in space to generate a calibration positioning point distribution map;

[0122] Based on the calibration positioning point distribution map, the corrected signal boundary points are connected segment by segment, and the complete boundary line is regenerated in combination with the overall boundary information. The connection logic is adjusted by comparing the optimized boundary morphology to generate the incision area positioning map.

[0123] Based on the signal distribution map of the cutting edge site, the spatial position relationship between the signal center and the boundary point is measured point by point using a distance calculation algorithm. The distance is calculated according to the spatial coordinates of adjacent points. The measurement interval is set to 1 mm. Each center point and its adjacent boundary point are calculated point by point, and the offset of each point is recorded step by step. The offset is classified and stored by region using a data structure. The offset values ​​in the overlapping area are statistically analyzed, and the offset features are stored as a multidimensional data matrix; the boundary offset data is generated;

[0124] Based on the boundary offset data, the offset correction algorithm is used to adjust the positioning points. The adjustment rule is set to trigger the correction when the offset value exceeds twice the average offset value of the area. The offset direction is determined point by point for the positioning points that exceed the threshold. The coordinate position of the offset point is adjusted to gradually align it with the signal distribution characteristics. The corrected point set is rearranged according to the spatial distribution. The arrangement rule is that the distance between the correction points is kept within 3mm. Combined with the order of the adjusted point set, complete positioning point data is generated; a calibration positioning point distribution map is generated;

[0125] Based on the calibration positioning point distribution map, the segment-by-segment connection algorithm is used to spatially connect the corrected signal boundary points. The connection rule is that the distance between two points should not exceed 2 mm. All boundary points are connected into a continuous curve by multi-segment connection. The discontinuous part of the curve is smoothly adjusted. The curve connection logic is corrected by multi-segment spline interpolation method, and the adjusted curve information is mapped to the specimen boundary space; the incision area positioning map is generated;

[0126] The cutting edge area positioning map includes the comprehensive boundary of cutting edge signal distribution, the spatial coordinates of the positioning points and the final area after boundary adjustment.
