It is particularly suitable for thyroid specialists with high outpatient volume and complex disease types.

[0039] 3. The learning and training unit utilizes a federated learning architecture, where medical institutions share only encrypted model gradient parameters, while raw data is always stored locally, strictly adhering to medical data privacy requirements. The differentiated contribution assessment module quantifies the contribution of each institution's data to the global model using Shapley values, equitably distributing weights. The concept drift detection module regularly verifies regional model consistency and triggers adaptive retraining to address changes in data distribution. This design not only resolves the "data silo" problem between medical institutions but also enhances the model's generalization capabilities through multi-center collaborative training. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where the spectrum of thyroid diseases varies significantly across regions, ensuring both data security and model performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] See also Figure 1 - Figure 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a thyroid intelligent consultation system, including a consultation system 1 and used for intelligent auxiliary diagnosis of thyroid diseases, the consultation system 1 includes:

[0049] Heterogeneous data integration unit 11, used for synchronous access to electronic medical record data, ultrasound DICOM images, patient complaints and wearable device monitoring data;

[0050] Multi-dimensional feature extraction unit 12 uses a deep convolutional network to process ultrasound images to extract nodule features and uses a BiLSTM network to analyze medical history text;

[0051] The dynamic decision-making central unit 13 integrates the GNN-based knowledge graph reasoning engine and interpretability algorithm to output a differential diagnosis list.

[0052] In this embodiment, the heterogeneous data integration unit 11 receives multi-source medical data through a standardized interface protocol. The electronic medical record data is structured and converted into a unified format. The ultrasound DICOM image is decompressed and metadata is extracted. The patient's voice complaints are converted into text through automatic speech recognition technology. The wearable device data is filtered and feature extracted and then stored in a temporary cache. Secondly, the multi-dimensional feature extraction unit 12 starts the image processing and text analysis processes in parallel. The image processing channel uses a deep convolutional network to extract the morphological features and blood flow distribution features of nodules in ultrasound images. The text analysis channel uses a BiLSTM network to identify key clinical symptoms and time series patterns in medical history documents. Finally, The dynamic decision-making central unit 13 inputs the extracted multimodal features into the knowledge graph reasoning engine built based on the graph neural network, generates preliminary diagnostic hypotheses through node embedding and relational reasoning, and then analyzes the decision contribution of each feature through an interpretable algorithm, and outputs a differential diagnosis list with confidence assessment; the system establishes a full-process data quality control mechanism, sets up anomaly detection and automatic correction functions in key links such as feature extraction and decision reasoning, and provides a manual review interface to ensure the reliability of the diagnosis results; asynchronous communication is achieved between units through message queues to ensure system stability in high-concurrency scenarios, and fully records key intermediate results in the data processing and decision-making process to support subsequent traceability analysis and model optimization.

[0053] Specifically, the multi-dimensional feature extraction unit 12 includes:

[0054] The three-stage cascade segmentation module 121 sequentially performs the first stage of locating the thyroid contour, the second stage of segmenting the nodule area, and the third stage of labeling key features;

[0055] A real-time enhancement processing module 122 uses a generative adversarial network to improve the resolution of low-quality images on mobile devices and automatically annotate key features of TI-RADS classification;

[0056] The time series comparison module 123 performs non-rigid registration on the serial ultrasound images of the follow-up patients and calculates the nodule volume change rate and elasticity score evolution trend.

[0057] In this embodiment, the three-stage segmentation module 121 utilizes a cascaded deep neural network architecture. In the first stage, an encoder-decoder structure precisely locates the anatomical boundaries of the thyroid organ. In the second stage, an attention mechanism is used to focus on the nodule region for pixel-level segmentation. In the third stage, a morphological analysis and feature extraction algorithm are combined to annotate key imaging features such as blood flow distribution and calcification characteristics of the nodule. The real-time enhancement processing module 122 deploys a generative adversarial network model to enhance the quality of low-resolution ultrasound images acquired by mobile devices. Computer vision algorithms are also integrated to automatically identify and annotate imaging features relevant to TI-RADS classification. The temporal comparison module 123 uses non-rigid image registration technology to align ultrasound images from multiple follow-up visits of a patient. Differential analysis is used to calculate the dynamic trends of nodule morphology and elasticity characteristics, and to construct a three-dimensional spatiotemporal evolution model. Each module works collaboratively using a pipeline architecture. A reprocessing mechanism is automatically triggered when the output quality of the previous module does not meet standards. A quality control log for the entire feature extraction process is established to ensure the reliability and consistency of the feature data used for subsequent diagnostic decisions. The system supports physicians in manually verifying and correcting the automatically extracted features, and the correction results are fed back to each module for iterative model optimization.

[0058] Specifically, the dynamic decision-making central unit 13 includes:

[0059] The graph neural network reasoning module 131 generates a preliminary diagnostic hypothesis set based on graph attention calculation of the thyroid disease knowledge graph;

[0060] The interpretability analysis module 132 quantifies the contribution of each clinical feature through SHAP value analysis and marks key decision factors;

[0061] The multimodal decision fusion module 133 integrates the data using an adaptive weighting algorithm and outputs a final diagnosis list with confidence scores.

[0062] In this embodiment, the graph neural network reasoning module 131 constructs a knowledge graph containing thyroid disease entities and their associations, dynamically calculates the importance weights of different clinical feature nodes through the graph attention mechanism, and generates a preliminary diagnostic hypothesis set based on graph reasoning; the interpretability analysis module 132 applies the SHAP value analysis method to quantitatively evaluate the contribution of each clinical feature to the diagnostic result, identify and mark key decision-making factors, and generate a visual explanation report; the multimodal decision fusion module 133 receives multi-source feature data from ultrasound image analysis, laboratory tests, and medical history texts, uses an adaptive weighted fusion algorithm to integrate the intermediate results of different modalities, and generates a final diagnosis list with confidence scores through probability calibration; a two-way data channel is established between the modules. When the interpretability analysis module identifies that a key feature is missing, it automatically triggers the supplementary reasoning process of the graph neural network module, and at the same time, the multimodal fusion results will be fed back to the knowledge graph for dynamically updating the node association weights; during the diagnostic reasoning process, the system records the intermediate calculation results and decision paths of each module in real time to support physicians in reviewing and verifying the entire process.

[0063] Specifically, the medical consultation system 1 further includes a medical consultation path generation unit 14 and is used to dynamically generate and optimize the medical consultation process according to the patient's characteristics. The medical consultation path generation unit 14 includes:

[0064] The initial classifier module 141 loads a differentiated questionnaire template based on the patient’s demographic characteristics and basic medical history;

[0065] The dynamic adjustment module 142 uses the DQN algorithm with reinforcement learning strategy to optimize the problem sequence;

[0066] The emergency triage mechanism module 143 automatically jumps to the hyperthyroidism crisis assessment branch when TSH < 0.01mIU / L with rapid nodule growth characteristics is detected.

[0067] In this embodiment, the initial classifier module 141 analyzes structured data such as the patient's age, gender, and medical history to match the most suitable basic consultation process from a preset questionnaire template library and generate an initial question sequence. The dynamic adjustment module 142 uses a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to monitor the patient's answers to each question and their correlation with the collected clinical characteristics in real time, dynamically optimize the sorting and content selection of subsequent questions, and gradually reduce the number of questions while ensuring diagnostic accuracy. At the same time, the emergency triage mechanism module 143 continuously scans the input laboratory test results and imaging features. When an abnormal indicator combination that meets the hyperthyroidism crisis warning conditions is identified, the regular consultation process is immediately interrupted and automatically jumps to a dedicated assessment interface for critical cases that includes vital signs monitoring, emergency treatment recommendations, and specialist physician liaison functions. The system automatically saves the current consultation progress when executing path switching and provides an option to resume regular consultation after the critical situation is handled. All consultation path adjustment decisions are recorded in the audit log to support subsequent quality assessment and algorithm optimization.

[0068] Specifically, the medical consultation system 1 further includes a learning and training unit 15 and is used for multi-center collaborative modeling under medical data privacy protection. The learning and training unit 15 includes:

[0069] In the distributed training architecture module 151, each medical node stores the original data locally and only uploads the model gradient parameters;

[0070] The differentiated contribution evaluation module 152 calculates the contribution of each institution's data to the global model through Shapley value and assigns weights accordingly;

[0071] The concept drift detection module 153 verifies the consistency of the model outputs of each region and triggers retraining when the Kappa value is less than 0.6.

[0072] In this embodiment, the distributed training architecture module 151 deploys model training nodes on the local servers of each medical institution and establishes a federated learning network through a secure communication protocol. After each node completes forward propagation and backpropagation calculations on the local dataset, it only uploads the encrypted model gradient parameters to the central aggregation server. Secondly, the differentiated contribution assessment module 152 uses the Shapley value algorithm based on secure multi-party computation to evaluate the marginal contribution of the gradient updates provided by each medical node to the improvement of global model performance in an encrypted space, and dynamically adjusts the aggregation weight of each node in the next round of training based on the contribution ratio. At the same time, the concept drift detection module 153 regularly distributes standardized test case sets to each node, detects potential medical data distribution shifts by statistically analyzing the Kappa consistency coefficient of the output results of each node, and automatically triggers the model retraining process when significant differences are detected. This process includes steps such as gradient reweighting, local model fine-tuning, and global parameter fusion. The entire training process uses blockchain technology to record operation logs to ensure that the data usage and model update behavior of each medical node are auditable and traceable.

[0073] Specifically, the contribution calculation formula in the differentiated contribution evaluation module (152) is:

[0074]

[0075] Where N is the set of all medical institutions participating in the learning, S is the subset excluding i, and v(·) is the model performance evaluation function.

[0076] In this embodiment, the differentiated contribution evaluation module 152 receives encrypted model parameter update data from each participating medical institution; secondly, the Shapley value is approximately calculated through the Monte Carlo sampling method, and cooperative subset combinations of different sizes are constructed for each medical institution to evaluate the degree of change in the model performance indicators before and after the institution is added; then, the contribution ranking of each institution is generated based on the marginal contribution calculation results, and the data sampling ratio or gradient update weight in the next round of training is adjusted according to the preset weight distribution strategy; at the same time, the module will record the historical contribution change trend, and when it is detected that the contribution of an institution continues to decline, it will automatically trigger the data quality assessment process and generate an improvement suggestion report; in addition, the differentiated contribution evaluation module 152 establishes a data linkage mechanism with the concept drift detection unit 153 to dynamically optimize the weight distribution scheme of participating nodes during the model retraining process.

[0077] Specifically, the calculation formula of the Kappa value in the concept drift detection module (153) is:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, p o is the observed consistency ratio, pe is the expected consistency ratio by chance; the value range is [-1,1], >0.6 indicates acceptable consistency, and <0.4 indicates poor consistency.

[0080] In this embodiment, the concept drift detection module 153 constructs a cross-comparison matrix by regularly collecting the diagnostic results of the same batch of standardized test cases from each participating medical institution; secondly, by comparing the consistency of the diagnostic results between different institutions, the difference between the actually observed consistency ratio and the randomly expected consistency ratio is calculated, and the Kappa coefficient formula is applied for quantitative evaluation; when the consistency level is detected to be lower than the preset threshold, the module automatically triggers the following processing flow: generates an inter-institutional diagnostic difference report and marks the main difference categories, starts the incremental training mechanism of the federated learning model, and pushes model update notifications to each participating node; at the same time, the system records the occurrence time, impact scope and corrective measures of each concept drift event to form a traceable quality control log; and the concept drift detection module 153 works in conjunction with the differentiated contribution evaluation module 151 to ensure that the parameter update weights are dynamically adjusted according to the contribution of each institution during the model retraining process.

[0081] Specifically, the medical consultation system 1 further includes a decision interaction unit 16 for dynamically displaying a thyroid disease risk map, comparing treatment plans, and AR-assisted patient education in three dimensions. The decision interaction unit 16 includes:

[0082] The 3D risk heat map module 161 integrates the probability of nodule malignancy, the degree of thyroid function abnormality, and the risk of complications into a 3D visualization model;

[0083] Treatment plan comparison module 162, showing the 5-year survival predictions for drug therapy, ablation therapy, and surgical resection;

[0084] Patient education AR module 163 displays a three-dimensional holographic projection of the thyroid anatomy and lesion location.

[0085] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional risk heat map module 161 uses a multi-layer data fusion algorithm to weightedly integrate the patient's ultrasound imaging features, laboratory test indicators and clinical history data to generate a risk distribution model with deep information. The model supports physicians to rotate, slice and adjust transparency through touch gestures; the treatment plan comparison module 162 is based on the knowledge graph reasoning engine to extract the indications, expected efficacy and potential adverse reaction characteristics of different treatment plans, and construct an interactive parallel decision tree. When the physician chooses a specific treatment path, the system automatically highlights the key clinical evidence and typical case references corresponding to the plan; the patient education AR module 163 uses SLAM spatial positioning technology to capture the real environment plane through the smart terminal camera, and renders a three-dimensional holographic image of the thyroid gland that matches the patient's actual anatomy in real time. Physicians can use gestures to separate tissue layers, mark the range of lesions, and dynamically simulate the impact of different treatment plans on the anatomical structure. The system simultaneously generates a diagnosis and treatment record animation containing instructions for key steps.
