Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of real-time detection of skin lesions in radiotherapy patients, and in particular to a real-time detection record management system for skin lesions in radiotherapy patients based on image processing. Background Art
[0002] With the widespread use of radiotherapy (RT) in cancer treatment, RT patients often experience skin damage during the treatment process. These injuries usually manifest as symptoms such as erythema, peeling, and ulcers, which seriously affect the patient's quality of life. The assessment and management of skin damage is a crucial part of the RT treatment process. Timely and accurate detection and treatment of skin damage not only helps to alleviate the patient's pain, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of complications. RT kills cancer cells through high-energy radiation, but due to the penetration and range of its radiation, normal skin tissue is also inevitably damaged. The degree of RT-induced skin damage is usually related to factors such as the radiation dose, treatment site, and patient's physical condition. According to different treatment doses and treatment methods, skin damage caused by RT can usually be divided into different levels, specifically manifested as erythema, dryness, peeling, blisters, ulcers, etc.
[0003] The skin is divided into three major layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer. When the epidermis is damaged, it will gradually affect the dermis and subcutaneous layer as time passes after radiotherapy. Existing assessment technologies mostly focus on damage analysis at a single layer, while ignoring the comprehensive damage analysis of different skin layers (epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer). In addition, most current technologies cannot monitor skin damage changes in radiotherapy patients in real time, cannot provide real-time damage feedback during radiotherapy, and cannot record patient skin detection in real time.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Example 1, with reference to Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a real-time detection and record management system for skin damage in radiotherapy patients based on image processing, comprising: The multispectral image acquisition module uses different spectra to image the patient's skin at the same viewing angle, obtaining three spectral images: near-infrared imaging, infrared imaging, and ultraviolet imaging. The three spectral images are then divided into different location areas to obtain several target areas.

[0020] In this embodiment, three spectral imaging technologies, namely near-infrared, infrared and ultraviolet, are used to detect damage information at different layers of the skin, effectively identify early-stage minor damage, avoid the limitations of traditional visible light imaging, and improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of detection. A skin damage assessment model is constructed through neural network technology, which can automatically extract damage features from image data sets and calculate the comprehensive damage area ratio to achieve damage level classification (first, second, and third degree damage).
[0021] This model continuously learns and optimizes, improving assessment accuracy while reducing manual intervention and enabling intelligent injury detection. Using a multi-level injury analysis approach, it further refines injury assessment for patients with secondary and tertiary injuries, including key parameters such as injury depth, dermal inflammatory response, subcutaneous inflammatory factors, and oxygenation.

[0022] Example 2: This example is an explanation of Example 1. Please refer to Figure 1 ,Specifically, the multispectral image acquisition module includes a segmentation unit and an edge detection unit; The segmentation unit is used to divide the image data set into different position areas on the same patient target areas, m represents the total number of target areas; target areas include arms, abdomen, back and legs; The edge detection unit is used to detect and identify the number N of skin edge contour point pixels of each target area of the same patient using the Sobel operator, and obtain the injury area according to the number N of skin edge contour point pixels.
[0023] In this embodiment, the skin of the same patient is divided into multiple target areas such as arms, abdomen, back, and legs through a segmentation unit, making skin damage assessment more targeted and avoiding errors caused by overall assessment. This method can adapt to individual differences, realize personalized damage detection, and improve the clinical applicability of the system. By using near-infrared imaging, infrared imaging, and ultraviolet imaging, deep information of skin damage can be obtained across spectral levels, and hidden damage that is difficult to detect with traditional visible light can be effectively identified. By combining the imaging characteristics of different spectra, the comprehensiveness and accuracy of skin damage detection are improved, providing accurate data support for skin management after radiotherapy. By using an edge detection unit, the Sobel operator is used to accurately detect the edge contour of the skin damage area, and the number of pixels N of the skin edge contour points is calculated, thereby extracting the damage area with high precision. By combining multispectral image segmentation and edge detection, the damage area can be calculated quickly and accurately, reducing manual measurement errors. The system can collect multispectral skin damage data in real time, provide doctors with objective and quantitative damage area assessment results, and reduce subjective judgment errors.
[0024] Example 3, this example is the explanation in Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 ,Specifically, the first recognition module is used to fuse the three spectral ,images to obtain an image dataset, and use a convolutional neural network to ,build a skin damage assessment model as data operation prediction; During the current monitoring period, three spectral images are acquired and the abnormal skin monitoring algorithm is used to calculate the comprehensive damage area ratio of the i-th patient. ; Abnormal skin monitoring algorithm includes the following steps: First, use image denoising algorithm and image enhancement algorithm to preprocess each frame of the extracted image; Second, use a deep learning model to process each pre-processed image frame and extract a high-dimensional feature vector containing the damage area characteristics; 3. Using convolutional neural networks, construct an initial convolutional neural network model, and test and train the initial convolutional neural network model with image data sets. The trained initial convolutional neural network model is used as a skin damage assessment model. At the same time, the intermediate layer output of the skin damage assessment model is used as a feature vector to identify relevant damage area features. The skin damage assessment model is trained and tested based on the obtained relevant damage area features. The trained skin damage assessment model is used as data for running predictions to calculate the comprehensive damage area ratio of the i-th patient. .
[0025] In this embodiment, an image denoising algorithm is used to eliminate noise during the imaging process, improve image clarity, and ensure that the edge features of the damaged area are clearer. An image enhancement algorithm is used to enhance the texture, contrast, and color features of the damaged area, making the damaged area more distinct and improving the accuracy of abnormal skin identification. Near-infrared imaging, infrared imaging, and ultraviolet imaging are used to fuse data to obtain more comprehensive skin damage information. Near-infrared imaging: can detect blood flow and deep skin damage; Near-infrared imaging: can detect blood flow and deep skin damage; Ultraviolet imaging: can detect the degree of skin barrier damage.
[0026] By fusing three types of spectral data, the accuracy and comprehensiveness of skin damage detection are improved.
[0027] In addition, a deep learning model is used to automatically extract high-dimensional damage feature vectors from multispectral images, reducing manual intervention and improving computational efficiency. A CNN initial model is constructed and trained using image datasets to optimize the accuracy of skin damage detection. By outputting features through the intermediate layers of CNN, damage area features are accurately extracted, thereby improving the recognition accuracy of abnormal skin areas.

Figure 1 ,Specifically, the first recognition module also includes a damage area feature ,summarization unit and an analysis unit; The lesion area feature summary unit is used to extract features from the image dataset of the i-th patient using threshold segmentation and deep learning segmentation technology, compare the color, texture, and spectral reflectance characteristics of normal skin and damaged skin, extract the boundary of the damaged area, perform calibration, and sum the pixel points of the damaged area using pixel counting to obtain the lesion area of the i-th patient. .
[0029] In this embodiment, threshold segmentation technology is used to distinguish normal skin from damaged areas by setting parameters such as color, brightness, and spectral reflectance to achieve basic segmentation. In combination with deep learning segmentation technology (such as U-Net, Mask R-CNN, etc.), a large number of labeled data sets are used to train the model, enabling it to intelligently identify skin damaged areas of varying degrees, thereby improving segmentation accuracy and robustness. By comparing the color, texture, and spectral reflectance of normal skin and damaged skin, the extraction boundary of the damaged area is further optimized to reduce misjudgment. The boundary of the damaged area is accurately calibrated using edge detection algorithms (such as Sobel and Canny) to ensure the complete extraction of the morphological information of the damaged area. Morphological processing (dilation, erosion, and closing operations) is combined to optimize the connectivity of the damaged area, reduce noise interference, and ensure the stability of the detection results. The number of pixels in the damaged area is counted by summing the pixels, and the actual area is converted based on the image resolution to accurately calculate the damaged area of the i-th patient.
[0030] Example 5, this example is the explanation in Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 ,Specifically, the analysis unit includes a skin injury area subunit and a comparison subunit; The skin injury area subunit is used to calculate the comprehensive injury area ratio of the i-th patient according to the injury area of the i-th patient after dimensionless processing using the following formula: : Where m represents the total number of target areas, represents the injury area of the i-th patient, represents the total body area of the i-th patient.
[0031] The following is the comprehensive injury area ratio of the i-th patient Example table: In this embodiment, a mathematical formula is used to calculate the comprehensive damage area ratio to ensure that the damage to different target areas is accurate, and a more accurate damage assessment result is obtained. By calculating the damage to each target area by part + overall assessment, the degree of damage to each target area can be analyzed, and a more targeted treatment plan can be provided. By calculating the damage to each target area by part + overall assessment, the degree of damage to each target area can be analyzed, and a more targeted treatment plan can be provided.
