Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and medium for processing pathological specimens. Background Art

[0002] The processing process of pathological specimens includes links such as image acquisition, edge ink coloring, manual cutting of pathological specimens, and manual marking.

[0003] In the image acquisition link, it is generally completed by the pathologist taking pictures during specimen collection. However, it is often affected by external factors and the time consumed by the doctor, resulting in poor quality of pathological image acquisition.

[0004] In the edge ink coloring link, most of the current methods use soft objects such as cotton swabs for smearing coloring. However, due to some coloring pigments being too diluted or viscous, diffusion and confusion of various pigments occur on small specimens. Moreover, performing smearing coloring on small specimens requires a high level of difficulty for the pathologist during specimen collection and takes a long time. Each time, too much pigment is wasted.

[0005] In the manual cutting link of pathological specimens, it is difficult for the pathologist to control parallel cutting of 2-3 mm on small specimens, which easily causes problems such as uneven cutting thickness and confusion of the front and back positions of the specimens, seriously affecting the diagnostic quality.

[0006] In the manual marking link, the situation of "mislabeling" easily occurs.

[0007] In summary, although the processing requirements for pathological specimens are high, due to the difficulty of standardizing the existing manual processing process of pathological specimens, various operation errors are likely to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In one embodiment, the specimen placement table is a parallelogram-shaped mesh structure, and the specimen placement table is stretchable;

[0016] After numbering all the cut specimens along the direction of the long axis, it further includes: stretching the specimen placement table along the direction of the long axis until each cut specimen is laid flat on the specimen placement table.

[0017] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0018] Obtain the second image of the specimen to be processed after being sprayed, the third image of the specimen to be processed after being cut, and the fourth image of the plurality of cut specimens laid flat on the specimen placement table captured by the image acquisition camera;

[0025] In one embodiment, after determining a plurality of equally spaced cutting lines according to the short axis, it further includes:

[0026] Project the multiple equally-spaced cutting lines onto the specimen to be processed.

[0027] A pathological specimen processing device is applied to the above pathological specimen processing equipment. The device includes:

[0028] An image acquisition module, configured to obtain a first image of the specimen to be processed captured by the image acquisition camera when the specimen to be processed is placed on the specimen placement table;

[0049] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of a pathological specimen processing method in an embodiment, which is applied to a pathological specimen processing device that can integrally complete operations such as image acquisition, edge ink painting, pathological specimen cutting, and marking. As Figure 2 shown, the pathological specimen processing device includes an upper-opening front opening cover 100, which is usually in a closed state. Below the front opening cover 100, there is a "drawer-type" specimen placing table 200 with a slide rail, which is usually placed inside the pathological specimen processing device. As Figure 3 shown, when in use, open the front opening cover 100, pull it out along the slide rail to the outside of the box, and place the specimen 001 to be processed on the specimen placing table 200. In principle, try to place the long axis of the specimen 001 to be processed along the direction of the slide rail, which is convenient for subsequent operations such as ink painting, cutting, and material taking. Finally, slide the specimen placing table 200 back into the box along the slide rail to start processing the pathological specimen.

[0051] The steps provided by the pathological specimen processing method in this embodiment include:

[0052] Step 102: when the specimen to be processed is placed on the specimen placement table, a first image of the specimen to be processed taken by a camera is acquired.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, a camera 300 is fixedly installed above the specimen placement table 200 , and a circumferential shadowless lamp 400 is also installed around the camera 300 .

[0054] When it is detected that the specimen to be processed 001 is placed on the specimen storage table 200, the circumferential shadowless lamp 400 is first activated to illuminate, and then the image acquisition camera 300 is controlled to shoot the specimen to be processed 001 to obtain the first image. Among them, the circumferential shadowless lamp 400 has a high-intensity exposure value, which can minimize the generation of shadows and highlight the specimen to be processed 001 in the captured image to the greatest extent. Through this method, a standardized image acquisition environment can be established, thereby improving the quality of pathology image acquisition.

[0055] Meanwhile, a single image-capturing camera 300 can only obtain a first image of a two-dimensional plane. Of course, N zoom cameras can be used to replace the single image-capturing camera 300 to obtain a first image of a three-dimensional plane, which results in better subsequent processing effects.

[0056] Step 104 , based on the shape of the specimen to be processed in the first image, determine the major axis and minor axis of the specimen to be processed, and control the spray gun to spray different colors of pigments through the specimen placement table to both sides of the major axis.

[0057] Specifically, for the irregular shaped specimen 001 to be processed, the image acquisition camera 300 first determines the outer boundary of the specimen 001 to be processed, and then determines the two points farthest apart based on the outer boundary, and uses the line between the two points farthest apart as the long axis x line. On this basis, a vertical line is formed through the midpoint of the long axis x line as the short axis y line. Figure 5 As shown, finally the long axis x line and the short axis y line are projected onto the specimen 001 to be processed (shown by the dotted line), so that it is easy to determine whether the spraying is correct during the spraying process.

[0058] In one of the spraying methods, for example, Figure 6As shown in the figure, a "red" paint spray gun 500 is selected and fixedly arranged below the left side of the long axis x line of the specimen placement table 200. A "yellow" paint spray gun 500 is selected and fixedly arranged below the right side of the long axis x line of the specimen placement table 200. Since the specimen placement table 200 in this embodiment is of a mesh structure, after controlling the spray gun to spray, the red paint can be sprayed on the left side of the long axis x line of the specimen to be processed 001 through the specimen placement table 200, and the yellow paint can be sprayed on the right side of the long axis x line of the specimen to be processed 001. Since different colors of paint are sprayed on different sides of the specimen to be processed 001, different sides of the specimen to be processed 001 can be distinguished, thus facilitating the positioning of different parts of the specimen to be processed 001. At the same time, problems such as easy ink dropping and easy confusion in traditional manual smearing are also avoided. And since the spray gun can spray quantitatively, the problem of waste of sprayed paint can also be largely avoided.

[0059] Of course, other colors can also be selected, or more colors can be added for spraying, which can be determined based on the size and shape of the specimen to be processed 001. At most, 6 paint spray guns can be set to spray on the "upper, lower, front, back, left, and right" faces of the specimen to be processed 001, so as to completely position the specimen to be processed 001.

[0060] Step 106: Determine multiple equally spaced cutting lines according to the short axis, and control the cutting knife to cut along each cutting line to obtain multiple cut specimens.

[0061] As Figure 7 shown in the figure, on the specimen to be processed 001, the long axis x line and the short axis y line (shown as a dotted line) are projected and displayed. Then, based on the short axis y line, parallel lines on both sides of the y line at an equal distance of 2 - 3 mm are generated and projected as cutting lines. And starting from one end of the long axis x line and continuing to the other end, they are sequentially named y1, y2, y3... yn. Then, control the cutting knife 600 carried by the robotic arm to continuously cut along the projected y1 - yn lines, so as to obtain multiple cut specimens. In this way, the cutting thickness can be made consistent, and the front and back positions of the specimen can be kept unchanged.

[0062] The cutting knife 600 in this embodiment is a laser cutting knife. Of course, other forms of cutting knives can also be selected as long as the purpose of accurately and finely cutting the specimen to be processed 001 can be achieved.

[0063] Step 108: Number all the cut specimens along the direction of the long axis according to the cutting lines.

[0064] As Figure 8 shown in the figure, for the cut specimens, taking the cutting line as the boundary, along the direction of the long axis, they are sequentially numbered from 1 to n. In this way, the correct numbering of the specimens can be achieved, and the problem of "misplacing" can be avoided.

[0065] In summary, the above pathological specimen processing method can achieve the standardized processing of pathological specimens, greatly reduce the subjective error rate of pathological specimen processing, and reduce the work difficulty of manual pathological sampling.

[0066] Preferably, as Figure 9 shown, the specimen placement table 200 in the embodiment is selected to be a parallelogram-shaped mesh structure, and the specimen placement table 200 is stretchable. Before stretching, the front and rear ends of the specimen placement table 200 are in a contracted state. After stretching, the front and rear ends are in an extended state. This facilitates stretching the specimen placement table 200 in a set direction.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 10 shown, the cut specimens stand parallel to each other like dominoes. For facilitating subsequent sampling, the following operations are also performed: Stretch the specimen placement table 200 along the direction of the long axis x. The cut specimens numbered 1-n and cut into 2-3 mm are sequentially laid down in the same direction. Further stretch until each cut specimen is flat on the specimen placement table 200. In this way, the order of the numbers is still retained, and sampling is also very convenient.

[0068] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, after performing step 104, the second image of the specimen to be processed 001 taken by the image acquisition camera 300 after being sprayed is also obtained; after performing step 106, the third image of the specimen to be processed 001 taken by the image acquisition camera 300 after being cut is also obtained; in addition, the fourth image of multiple cut specimens laid flat on the specimen placement table 200 taken by the image acquisition camera 300 is also obtained. In this way, the complete processing process of the pathological specimen can be recorded, which is convenient for positioning problems when errors occur subsequently. At the same time, based on the pathological detection results of these multiple cut specimens, the original position of the tumor on the specimen to be processed 001 can be reversely restored through these taken images.

[0069] In an embodiment, as Figure 11 shown, a pathological specimen processing device is proposed. The device includes:
