However, a single imaging modality often cannot provide sufficient perspectives and information. Especially when dealing with complex anatomical structures and dynamically changing lesions, it is prone to cause positioning errors and insufficient surgical precision. For example, although arthroscopic images can provide direct-view images, they cannot effectively present structures such as soft tissues and blood vessels that are difficult to display; while ultrasound images can display the conditions of soft tissues and joint fluids, but due to limitations in resolution and operation, it is difficult to accurately locate deep structures; infrared images can effectively detect temperature changes and indicate potential abnormal blood flows, but cannot provide detailed anatomical structure information.

[0034] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Please refer to the appended Figure 1 - appended Figure 9 , the embodiment of the present invention provides an arthroscopic surgery navigation and positioning system based on artificial intelligence, including:

[0036] The preoperative image processing and lesion analysis module is used to analyze preoperative images and automatically identify joint structures and lesion areas;

[0037] The multimodal data fusion module is used to integrate intraoperative imaging data from different sources and provide a clear surgical view;

[0038] The intraoperative real-time joint tracking and pose estimation module is used to track the joint position and soft tissue deformation in real time;

[0039] The AI dynamic surgical path planning module is used to intelligently optimize the surgical path, prevent damage to important tissues, and dynamically adjust the path;

[0040] The robot-assisted operation and automatic adjustment module is used to automatically adjust the position and angle of surgical instruments;

[0041] The intraoperative AI voice and visual feedback module is used to provide real-time feedback to assist the doctor in adjusting the surgical operation;

[0042] The surgical data storage and intelligent learning module is used to store and analyze surgical data.

[0043] The preoperative image processing and lesion analysis module includes an image segmentation unit, a lesion detection unit, and a 3D reconstruction unit. The image segmentation unit is used to segment the joint structure and lesion area by using a deep learning model. The learning model includes U-Net. The lesion detection unit is used to automatically identify the lesion area by using an object detection network. The object detection network includes FasterR-CNN and YOLO. The 3D reconstruction unit is used to reconstruct the 3D joint model based on the image data to provide a three-dimensional view for surgical planning.

[0044] Specifically, first, the image segmentation unit is responsible for segmenting the preoperative image data, extracting the joint structure and lesion area, and performing pixel-level segmentation through a deep learning model (such as U-Net) to accurately segment the bones, soft tissues, and lesion area of the joint. The U-Net model can effectively process the complex background in medical images through its unique encoding-decoding structure, ensuring the segmentation accuracy and structural integrity. In addition, the image segmentation process will also combine data augmentation techniques, such as rotation, scaling, and flipping, to further improve the generalization ability of the model and adapt to the personalized data of different patients;

[0045] Secondly, the lesion detection unit uses an object detection network (such as Faster R-CNN and YOLO) to automatically identify and locate the lesion area in the image. Faster R-CNN combines the region proposal network (RPN) with the convolutional neural network (CNN) to accurately identify and locate various lesion areas, such as joint cartilage damage and meniscus tear. The YOLO network realizes the real-time recognition of the lesion area quickly and efficiently through a single-step detection method, which is suitable for application in rapid diagnosis. To further improve the lesion detection ability, the system can also integrate attention mechanisms (such as CBAM and SE-Net) to effectively improve the recognition accuracy of small lesions or areas with blurred boundaries.

[0046] Then, the 3D reconstruction unit generates a three-dimensional joint model based on preoperative imaging data to provide a stereoscopic view for surgical planning. It uses voxel reconstruction techniques (such as V-Net, VoxelMorph) or neural radiance field (NeRF) methods to convert two-dimensional imaging data into a three-dimensional joint structure, and enhances the accuracy and details of the model through 3D reconstruction algorithms. During the reconstruction process, the system uses deep learning methods to accurately restore the three-dimensional anatomical structure of the joint, and further refines the three-dimensional model through mesh optimization and super-resolution techniques to ensure high clarity and high fidelity of the three-dimensional view. It can realize the whole process from preoperative imaging data acquisition to precise surgical planning, provide high-precision preoperative data support, provide a scientific basis for the surgeon's surgical decision-making, and significantly improve the safety and accuracy of the surgery.

[0047] The multi-modal data fusion module includes an image fusion unit, an image enhancement unit, and a multi-modal tracking unit. The image fusion unit is used to fuse multi-modal imaging data, and the fusion of multi-modal imaging data includes arthroscopic images, ultrasound, and infrared. The image enhancement unit is used to remove the influences using image enhancement algorithms, and the influences include blood and smoke. The multi-modal tracking unit is used to combine different modal data to real-time track the surgical area to enhance visualization.

[0048] Specifically, first, the image fusion unit is used to fuse multi-modal imaging data to provide a more comprehensive surgical view. It supports the fusion of arthroscopic images, ultrasound images, and infrared images to make up for the limitations of single-modal images. Arthroscopic images can provide a high-resolution view under direct vision, ultrasound images can visualize soft tissue structures, and infrared images can be used for temperature detection to identify areas of inflammation or abnormal blood flow. The fusion process uses deep learning-based feature extraction methods, such as convolutional neural network (CNN) and multi-scale feature fusion (MSF) algorithms, combined with a multi-modal attention mechanism, to achieve efficient fusion of different modal information, improve the contrast and clarity of the images, and enhance the visualization effect of the surgical area.

[0049] Secondly, the image enhancement unit is used to remove intraoperative influencing factors by using image enhancement algorithms to improve the image quality. Common intraoperative interferences include blood occlusion and smoke diffusion, which can affect the surgical field of view and reduce the doctor's visualization ability. Image dehazing algorithms (such as dark channel prior dehazing algorithm, Retinex enhancement algorithm) are used to remove intraoperative smoke. At the same time, adaptive denoising technology based on generative adversarial network (GAN) is used to remove the interference of blood occlusion and other low-contrast areas. Combining dynamic contrast enhancement (Dynamic Contrast Enhancement) and adaptive histogram equalization (AHE) techniques to enhance image details, ensure the clear visibility of the surgical area, and improve the doctor's observation ability in complex surgical environments.

[0050] Then, the multi-modal tracking unit is used to combine different modal data to achieve real-time tracking of the surgical area to enhance intraoperative visualization. Deep learning tracking algorithms (such as Siamese network tracking, optical flow tracking algorithm) are used, combined with arthroscopic, ultrasonic and infrared images, to continuously monitor the changes in the surgical site. During the tracking process, the system will use temporal information for motion compensation to ensure the stability of the images, and adopt a dynamic fusion method based on image registration to accurately align the features of different modal images. In addition, this unit can combine augmented reality (AR) technology to superimpose the tracking information on the intraoperative images to achieve real-time navigation, further improving the doctor's surgical operation accuracy. The multi-modal data fusion module can effectively fuse various image data, improve the clarity and visualization level of intraoperative images, and enhance the surgical navigation ability through real-time tracking technology. The application can significantly improve the doctor's perception ability of the surgical area, improve the accuracy and safety of the surgery, reduce intraoperative uncertainties, and provide important data support for high-risk arthroscopic surgeries.

[0051] The intraoperative real-time joint tracking and pose estimation module includes a bone tracking unit, a soft tissue deformation prediction unit, and a joint positioning and pose estimation unit. The bone tracking unit is used to real-time track the dynamic position of the bone based on graph neural network. The soft tissue deformation prediction unit is used to predict the soft tissue deformation using the LSTM method and correct the navigation system until it is adjusted accurately. The joint positioning and pose estimation unit is used to estimate the precise position and pose of the joint through optical tracking technology.

[0052] Specifically, first, the bone tracking unit is used to track the dynamic position of the bone in real time based on the Graph Neural Network (GNN). By constructing a graphical representation of the bone structure, the relationships between the various joints and bones of the bone are represented as nodes and edges. On this basis, the graph neural network is used for temporal learning to capture the spatio-temporal features of bone movement. Through this method, the system can accurately track the real-time position of the bone in a dynamically changing surgical environment, provide high-precision bone positioning information, and ensure the real-time update and accurate tracking of the bone position during complex surgical procedures;

[0053] Secondly, the soft tissue deformation prediction unit uses a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to predict the deformation of the soft tissue and dynamically adjusts the surgical navigation system according to the prediction results. By modeling the temporal data of soft tissue deformation and using the LSTM model to capture the long-term dependence relationship of the soft tissue, the deformation of the soft tissue caused by operating force or other factors during the surgical procedure can be accurately predicted. Through this prediction, the navigation system can be adjusted in real time to avoid positioning errors caused by soft tissue deformation, ensure the accuracy of the surgery, and can adaptively adjust the model parameters according to the characteristics of different soft tissues to improve the accuracy of deformation prediction;

[0054] Then, the joint positioning and pose estimation unit uses optical tracking technology to estimate the precise position and pose of the joint. By installing reflective markers on the patient's joint parts and using a high-precision optical tracking system to collect the spatial coordinates of the joint markers in real time. Combining the positioning information of the optical sensor, the system can accurately calculate the position and pose of the joint and dynamically adjust the surgical path and the positioning of the tool. The high real-time performance of the optical tracking technology enables this unit to adapt to the rapid changes of the patient's joint during the surgical procedure, ensure that the precise pose of the joint is continuously monitored, and the intraoperative real-time joint tracking and pose estimation module can achieve precise tracking and prediction of the joint position and pose, provide efficient real-time feedback, and ensure high-precision navigation during the surgical procedure. This module has important clinical significance for complex joint surgeries, can significantly improve the accuracy and safety of the surgery, reduce intraoperative errors, and especially provide more reliable positioning and navigation support in cases where the operation is difficult and the field of view is limited.

The path planning unit is used to intelligently calculate the optimal surgical path based on preoperative images and real-time data. The dynamic adjustment unit is used to adjust the path planning according to the surgical progress and real-time feedback. The obstacle avoidance unit: detects key structures during the operation in real time to avoid accidental injury to instruments. The key structures include blood vessels and nerves.

[0056] Specifically, first, the path planning unit intelligently calculates the optimal surgical path based on preoperative images and real-time data. This unit uses deep learning algorithms, combines preoperative images (such as CT, MRI) and real-time data (such as arthroscopic images, ultrasound data, etc.), analyzes the surgical area, and automatically plans the best surgical path. The path planning algorithm comprehensively considers the lesion location, anatomical structure, and the movement limitations of surgical tools to ensure efficiency and safety during the operation. This unit can calculate a short path through optimization algorithms (such as A*, Dijkstra algorithms), and further optimize the path through machine learning techniques to improve the accuracy and feasibility of path selection;

[0057] Secondly, the dynamic adjustment unit adjusts the path planning according to the surgical progress and real-time feedback. During the operation, the patient's physical condition may change, and the intraoperative real-time images and sensor data will also be continuously updated. Therefore, the path planning needs to be adjusted in real time. This unit obtains the image data and operation feedback of the surgical area in real time, uses machine learning models to continuously learn the changes in the surgical environment, and automatically adjusts the path planning to cope with various situations that occur during the operation. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the surgical path always remains in the optimal state, thus avoiding the risk of path deviation or improper operation;

[0058] Then, the obstacle avoidance unit is responsible for detecting key structures during the operation in real time, such as blood vessels, nerves, etc., and avoiding accidental injury by instruments. This unit uses high-precision image processing techniques (such as real-time image segmentation and object detection) to identify the key structures in the surgical area, monitors the position and shape of these structures in real time, and ensures that the surgical instruments maintain a safe distance from the key structures. The obstacle avoidance unit combines object detection algorithms in deep learning (such as Faster R-CNN, YOLO, etc.) for accurate identification of key structures, and at the same time combines hardware devices such as force feedback sensors to further enhance the obstacle avoidance ability. In case of a risk situation, the system will issue an alarm in real time or automatically adjust the movement path of the instrument to avoid accidental injury to important structures such as blood vessels and nerves by the instrument. The AI dynamic surgical path planning module can realize the intelligent planning and real-time adjustment of the surgical path, and at the same time avoid accidental injury to key structures by surgical instruments. The application of this module will significantly improve the safety and precision of the surgical process, provide strong support for complex surgeries, reduce intraoperative risks, and improve the success rate of surgeries and the postoperative recovery quality of patients.

This unit combines the preoperative images, real-time images, and the results of AI dynamic path planning, and adjusts the movement trajectory of the robotic surgical instrument through a precise control system. The automatic adjustment unit can accurately adjust the movement parameters of the instrument according to the needs of different surgical steps, ensuring that the surgical instrument is always in the optimal position and angle. This unit also dynamically adapts to the changes in the intraoperative situation through real-time calculation, and timely adjusts the operation path, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the surgery;

[0061] Secondly, the force sensing unit is used to monitor the contact force of the surgical instrument to prevent excessive operation and tissue damage. This unit integrates high-precision force sensors to measure the magnitude of the force when the instrument contacts the tissue in real time. The system can judge whether there is a situation of excessive operating force according to the real-time data feedback by the force sensor, and thus automatically adjust the movement of the instrument when the force is too large to avoid excessive squeezing or damage to the tissue. The force sensing unit can effectively prevent tissue damage caused by human error or excessive force during the operation and ensure the safety of the patient;

[0062] Then, the feedback and collaboration unit is used to provide real-time feedback and coordinate the operations of the robot and the doctor. This unit monitors the robot operation during the surgery in real time and transmits the operation status, progress information, and potential risks to the doctor through a feedback mechanism. Through this system, the doctor can clearly understand the current surgical status and make decisions in a timely manner. At the same time, the feedback and collaboration unit can coordinate the collaboration between the robot and the doctor to ensure that the robot operation and the doctor operation cooperate with each other, and the doctor can perform manual intervention at critical moments to enhance the flexibility and controllability of the surgery. In addition, the feedback unit can also help the doctor quickly obtain key information through voice prompts, visual displays, etc. to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery.
