Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical imaging, and in particular to a method for combined scanning and injection, a device for combined scanning and injection, a system for combined scanning and injection, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] During scanning, when the density of diseased tissue or organs is similar to that of normal tissue, the diseased tissue is not easily visualized. Contrast agents are usually introduced into the patient's body or the patient's intralesional space. Due to different tissue structures and the nature of different lesions, the amount and distribution of contrast agents absorbed have their own characteristics and patterns. Therefore, by injecting contrast agents during scanning, the contrast of the scanned images can be enhanced, the boundary between diseased and normal tissues can be clearly defined, and density, shape, and size can be highlighted, thus facilitating the detection and diagnosis of lesions.
[0003] During the scanning process where a medical scanning system controls a high-pressure injection system, the high-pressure injection system needs to acquire injection parameters corresponding to the scanning parameters in the medical scanning system so that the syringe can perform high-pressure injection according to the injection parameters. Taking CT (Computed Tomography) as an example, in the process of scanning by controlling a high-pressure injector in conjunction with CT, the injection parameters are usually sent from the CT end to the syringe, and the sending process is to send parameters for one injection protocol at a time.
[0004] When patients require multiple scans, the injection parameters for each phase of the injection protocol need to be issued in separate batches. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a multi-phase enhanced CT scan with linked injection based on relevant technologies, such as... Figure 1 As shown, during multi-phase scanning of the same patient, multiple injections are required. The syringe switches from the completed injection state of the previous phase to the ready-to-injection state of the new phase. During this period, the interventional physician needs to confirm whether the injection tube has been purged of air, update the injection parameters, and confirm that the injection parameters are correct. Only after all these injection preparations have been confirmed can the new phase of simultaneous scanning and injection be performed, which reduces the efficiency of simultaneous scanning and injection.
[0005] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address the issues of low efficiency in linkage scanning and injection in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The linkage scanning and injection method provided in the present application can be applied to a system composed of linkage medical imaging devices and high-pressure injection devices, wherein the medical imaging devices include, but are not limited to, CT, PET (Positron Emission Tomography), PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography and Computerized Tomography), fluoroscopy, etc., and the high-pressure injection device can be a syringe mechanism for guiding contrast medium into a patient or a subject. The linkage scanning and injection device, the linkage scanning and injection system and the computer readable storage medium involved in the present application can be integrated with the system composed of the linkage medical imaging devices and the high-pressure injection devices, or can be relatively independent. In some embodiments, the linkage scanning and injection device can be integrated in a console of the medical imaging device, or can be independently built in a computer device, and a communication connection is established between the computer device and the medical imaging device to realize transmission of data such as text information, images, instructions and messages.
[0045] The present embodiment provides a linkage scanning and injection method applied to linkage scanning and injection of a medical scanning system and a high-pressure injection system. Figure 2 is a flowchart of a linkage scanning and injection method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The flowchart includes the following steps:
[0046] In step S201, in a first scanning process of a plurality of scanning processes, the high-pressure injection system performs a first high-pressure injection operation according to first injection parameters corresponding to the first scanning process in a plurality of groups of injection parameters; wherein the plurality of groups of injection parameters are obtained according to a one-time injection parameter configuration operation, and each group of injection parameters in the plurality of groups of injection parameters corresponds to one scanning process of a plurality of scanning processes of the medical scanning system.
[0047] The plurality of scanning processes refer to multi-phase scanning performed on the same patient or the same subject, and each phase of scanning corresponds to a group of injection parameters, wherein the plurality of groups of injection parameters are obtained according to a one-time injection parameter configuration operation, which can simplify the process of injection parameter configuration operation compared with the multi-time injection parameter configuration operation in the related art.
[0048] In the process of liver CT enhancement scanning, 20%-25% of liver parenchyma is supplied by the hepatic artery, and 75%-80% is supplied by the portal vein. Therefore, the CT enhancement scanning of normal liver parenchyma is not obvious in the hepatic arterial phase, but is obvious in the portal venous phase. According to the blood supply characteristics of the liver, a double-phase scan composed of the hepatic arterial phase scan and the portal venous phase scan is usually adopted to understand the blood supply of the intrahepatic lesion and to improve the detection rate of the intrahepatic lesion. The injection parameters of the liver double-phase scan can be obtained according to the one-time injection parameter configuration operation, wherein the injection parameters are different according to different scan projects, and the injection parameters in the embodiment include but are not limited to the dose, flow rate, duration and pressure range of the contrast agent.
[0049] In step S202, the high-pressure injection system enters a holding state after the first high-pressure injection operation is performed.
[0050] The holding state refers to that the high-pressure injection system suspends the current high-pressure injection operation and keeps the high-pressure injection system in the injection suspension state. In the related art, after the high-pressure injection system performs a high-pressure injection operation, manual intervention is usually needed to confirm whether the current high-pressure injection operation is performed, and in the case that the current high-pressure injection operation is confirmed to be performed, the current high-pressure injection operation is suspended, the injection parameters of the next high-pressure injection are configured, and after the configuration, the high-pressure injection operation is resumed. The operation is relatively complex.
[0051] Compared with the related art, the embodiment can automatically suspend the current high-pressure injection operation after the high-pressure injection system performs a high-pressure injection operation, and keep the high-pressure injection system in the injection suspension state, thereby simplifying the injection operation.
[0052] In step S203, in the case that the start signal of the second scan process is received, the high-pressure injection system performs a second high-pressure injection operation according to the second injection parameters corresponding to the second scan process, wherein the second scan process is the next scan process of the first scan process.
[0053] After the high-pressure injection operation of the current scan process is performed, that is, when the high-pressure injection system enters the holding state, the high-pressure injection system can perform the high-pressure injection operation of the next phase according to the injection parameters of the next phase by receiving the start signal of the next phase scan process. The start signal of the next phase scan process can be a resume injection command issued by the high-pressure injection system, or a resume injection command issued by the medical scanning system.
[0054] For example, in the process of liver double-phase scanning, after the high-pressure injection operation of the liver arterial phase scan is performed, the high-pressure injection system suspends the injection and enters the holding state, until the start signal of the liver portal venous phase scan is received, and the high-pressure injection operation of the liver portal venous phase scan is performed according to the corresponding injection parameters.
[0055] Through the above steps, the process of multiple configuration and confirmation of injection parameters is simplified during the linkage scanning and injection, the problem of low linkage scanning and injection efficiency in the related art is solved, and the beneficial effect of improving the linkage scanning and injection efficiency is achieved.
[0056] The following will give the implementation mode that the high-pressure injection system automatically stops the current high-pressure injection operation after completing a high-pressure injection operation, and keeps the high-pressure injection system in the injection stop state.
[0057] Each of the plurality of groups of injection parameters comprises: a holding operation parameter; the holding operation parameter is used to instruct the high-pressure injection system to enter a holding state when executed by the high-pressure injection system.
[0058] In this embodiment, after completing a high-pressure injection operation, the high-pressure injection system can automatically stop the current high-pressure injection operation by reading the holding operation parameter, and keep the high-pressure injection system in the injection stop state. The holding operation parameter can indicate that the high-pressure injection operation is completed, or can indicate that the high-pressure injection operation is paused for a preset time and then continues to execute the injection. For example, in the process of liver dual-phase scanning, the following injection parameters are configured: contrast agent is 60% water-soluble iodine, dose is 1.5ml-2ml / kg, flow rate is 3ml-4ml / s, and injection is stopped. After the injection starts, the high-pressure injection system reads each injection parameter in the group of injection parameters to execute the high-pressure injection operation of the current scanning process, until the "stop injection" injection parameter is read, the current high-pressure injection operation is stopped, and the next phase scanning process is prepared for the high-pressure injection operation. Or the holding operation parameter can also be configured as "stop injection, delay 10s", and in the case of reading "stop injection, delay 10s" by the high-pressure injection system, the high-pressure injection operation of the current scanning process is stopped, and the current high-pressure injection operation is resumed after 10s.
[0059] During the process of performing a high-pressure injection operation, it can be necessary to set a delay operation during the injection and enter a period delay state, i.e., the same high-pressure injection operation is completed in multiple times. In order to realize the delay operation, in some embodiments, the holding operation is divided into a holding state and a delay state, wherein the holding state corresponds to a holding operation parameter holdphase, and the delay state corresponds to a delay operation parameter hold state. The holding state is automatically triggered, i.e., when a high-pressure injection is completed, the high-pressure injection system automatically enters the holding state, and the high-pressure injection system needs to be controlled by local operation or remote control to exit the holding state and execute the next injection process. The delay state is manually triggered, i.e., after receiving an instruction for entering the delay state issued by a user, the high-pressure injection system enters the delay state, and the high-pressure injection system automatically executes the next injection process after the set delay time ends. As a specific embodiment, the holding state and the delay state of the injector can be distinguished according to the hardware feedback state of the high-pressure injection system, so as to avoid confusion between the holding state and the delay state by the user.
[0060] The high-pressure injection system of the embodiment has obtained multiple sets of injection parameters according to the injection parameter configuration operation before performing a first high-pressure injection operation on a subject, and sent the multiple sets of injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system.
[0061] In the embodiment, the medical scanning system can perform the injection parameter configuration operation according to each of the multiple scanning processes, i.e., configure each set of injection parameters corresponding to each scanning process, and complete the configuration of multiple sets of injection parameters through only one injection parameter configuration operation, and issue the configured injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system.
[0062] Taking a liver CT enhancement scan as an example, the CT control end completes the configuration of the injection parameters of the liver dual-phase scan through one injection parameter configuration operation according to the injection parameters of the liver arterial phase scan and the injection parameters of the liver portal phase scan, and issues the configured injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system.
[0063] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the medical scanning system sends the injection parameters corresponding to each scanning process in the multiple sets of injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system before each scanning process starts.
[0064] In the embodiment, the medical scanning system can issue the injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system in stages after completing the configuration of multiple sets of injection parameters through one injection parameter configuration operation.
[0065] As a specific embodiment, in the process of performing the liver CT enhancement scan, the CT control end configures the injection parameters of the liver dual-phase scan through one injection parameter configuration operation according to the specific scan method, and the injection parameters of the liver dual-phase scan are configured. Before the start of each phase of the liver scan process, the injection parameters of the current liver scan process are sent to the high-pressure injection system.
[0066] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment of the injection parameter configuration, in some embodiments, the medical scanning system can also receive an injection parameter modification instruction before the start of each scan process in the plurality of scan processes, wherein the injection parameter modification instruction is used to modify at least one set of injection parameters in the plurality of sets of injection parameters; the medical scanning system modifies the at least one set of injection parameters according to the injection parameter modification instruction, and sends the modified injection parameters corresponding to each scan process in the plurality of sets of injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system before the start of each scan process in the plurality of scan processes.
[0067] After the current high-pressure injection operation is performed, the high-pressure injection system stops the current high-pressure injection operation and enters a holding state. During this period, the medical scanning system can receive an injection parameter modification instruction, modify the injection parameters that have not yet performed the high-pressure injection operation, and send the modified injection parameters to the high-pressure injection system. Through the above steps, the injection parameters can be modified in the case of failure of the one injection parameter configuration operation, so as to improve the fault tolerance of the parameter configuration.
[0068] In some embodiments, before the high-pressure injection system performs the first high-pressure injection operation according to the first injection parameters corresponding to the first scan process in the plurality of sets of injection parameters, the medical scanning system generates the plurality of sets of injection parameters according to the plurality of scan processes.
[0069] The medical scanning system can associate the corresponding scan parameters and injection parameters according to the enhanced scan site of the patient, and associate the injection parameters of the enhanced scan site with the parameters of the scan protocol. In the CT enhancement scan process, after the doctor selects the enhanced scan site of the patient, the CT control end automatically loads the scan parameters and the injection parameters; or after the doctor selects the scan protocol according to the enhanced scan site of the patient, the CT control end automatically loads the injection parameters. Through the above scheme, before the high-pressure injection system performs the first high-pressure injection operation according to the first injection parameters corresponding to the first scan process in the plurality of sets of injection parameters, the injection parameters can be obtained according to the preset scan parameters, without the need to import the injection parameters independently, which reduces the work of the doctor to remember the scan injection protocol and reduces the probability of errors.
[0070] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a CT multi-phase enhancement scan linkage injection according to an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3As shown, during multi-phase scanning, the CT scanner can configure multiple injection parameters at once. Doctors only need to click "scan" to start the next phase of the linked scan and injection, without needing to update injection parameters or repeat the process. Figure 1 The manual confirmation step after the first high-pressure injection is completed saves doctors the trouble of performing operations during multi-stage scanning and injection, and shortens the overall scanning time for patients.
[0071] Currently, the number of phases that syringes manufactured by different companies can support for the maximum injection parameters varies, typically ranging from 6 to 12. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the interface for a multi-phase enhanced scanning injection protocol based on relevant technologies, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the interface includes parameters such as fluid source, flow rate, volume, duration, pressure limit, reminders, and an operation interface. A and B represent two different fluid sources. The operation interface receives instructions from doctors or other users, such as starting, stopping, or exiting the interface. Typically, doctors need to configure the protocol parameters for the second injection into the syringe after the first injection is completed, requiring several manual confirmation steps.
[0072] Combining the combined injection and scanning methods of this application, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the interface for an injection protocol for multi-phase enhanced scanning according to an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 5 As shown, "Hold" represents the hold state. In this embodiment, for multi-phase injection parameters of the same patient, "Hold" is used as the distinguishing marker between different injection phases in multi-phase injection, and its corresponding hold operation parameter is "hold phase". After completing the first phase injection protocol, the syringe automatically jumps to the hold phase, stopping the current high-pressure injection operation. At this time, the syringe can respond to the resumption injection command from the local syringe or remote CT terminal, and can also respond to the modification of the phase parameters that have not yet been injected after the hold phase. When performing multi-phase CT scan linkage injection, the doctor only needs to configure the protocol parameters once before the start of the entire scan process, send them to the syringe, and confirm that the parameters are correct. During multi-phase scanning, the doctor only needs to continue to click the exposure button on the CT terminal, exit "Hold", and resume injection to complete the multi-phase linkage scan process, reducing the process of repeatedly sending and confirming parameters.
