Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical imaging, and particularly to a method, device, terminal and storage medium for classifying functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Background Art

[0002] The state of impaired consciousness is mainly caused by traumatic brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral hypoxia, and is mainly manifested as impaired consciousness to varying degrees. The state of impaired consciousness mainly includes coma, vegetative state and minimally conscious state. How to accurately diagnose the current consciousness state of patients with impaired consciousness has always been the focus and difficulty of research. The research on this issue has important social significance and helps to reduce the burden on the families and society of patients. Since the diagnostic method based on the behavioral feedback of patients still has a misdiagnosis rate of about 40%, more and more researchers have begun to use technologies such as brain imaging to study the neural markers that can reflect the current consciousness level of patients with impaired consciousness. Among them, resting-state functional magnetic resonance, as a new type of neuroimaging design, has the advantages of high spatial resolution, convenient and simple implementation, and non-invasiveness, and has been favored by researchers. However, for the detection of patients with impaired consciousness, most of the existing technologies adopt static functional connectivity analysis methods, ignoring the dynamic activity characteristics of the patients' brains in the time dimension. Although a few studies have adopted dynamic functional connectivity analysis methods, they all use k-means clustering to reduce the dimension of the brain activity patterns in the time dimension, and the final representative features obtained are also the arithmetic average of the clustering results, and then perform between-group analysis. Therefore, the deficiencies of the above methods are manifested in three aspects: First, the static analysis method ignores the dynamic activity characteristic information of the brain and is insufficient to comprehensively explore the brain activity basis supporting the normal consciousness level; Second, the previous methods mostly use clustering algorithms to detect the dynamic patterns of the brain, and the number of clusters is often determined by the researchers, which is difficult to avoid subjectivity; Finally, in the current dynamic functional connectivity research on impaired consciousness, there is a situation of small sample size, and verification based on large sample data is required.

[0048] The present invention discloses a method, device, terminal and storage medium for classifying brain functional magnetic resonance images. To make the objectives, technical solutions and effects of the present invention clearer and more definite, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of examples.

[0051] In the existing technology, the methods for analyzing resting-state functional magnetic resonance images are mainly divided into two categories, namely static and dynamic functional connectivity analysis. Among them, static functional connectivity analysis assumes that the activity state of the brain is relatively stable within several minutes, and measures the resonance degree between different brain regions through the Pearson correlation coefficient. Based on the static analysis method, according to different spatial scales, the activities of specific brain regions, specific functional networks, and the whole-brain functional network of the brain can be measured. In the study of disorders of consciousness, by establishing a linear classification model, some studies have found that the activity of the default network can distinguish different consciousness states (accuracy rate = 85.3%). In addition, in addition to specific functional networks (such as the default network), it has been found that other functional networks in the whole brain, especially the primary auditory and visual networks, can distinguish patients in the minimally conscious state and the "vegetative" state with an accuracy rate of 80%. However, the above studies are mainly based on static analysis methods, and compare the consciousness levels by calculating the correlations between brain regions over the entire period of time. With the in-depth study, researchers have found that the brain also exhibits specific activity patterns within several minutes, and this pattern can be detected by means of dynamic functional connectivity. The methods of dynamic functional connectivity mainly include sliding time window analysis, co-activation pattern analysis, etc. Through k-means clustering, the dynamic functional connectivity method reduces the dimensionality of the continuous brain spatial activity patterns in the time dimension, and finally obtains several representative brain activity patterns. Among them, the sliding time window analysis is based on a time window of a specific length, constructs the brain functional network connection matrix one by one, and uses the k-means method for clustering, and finally obtains several representative functional matrices. The co-activation pattern analysis directly performs k-means clustering based on each time sampling point, and finally obtains several representative brain activity patterns. Based on the above methods, researchers have found that the decline in the consciousness level is manifested as the breakdown of the dynamic balance of the brain functional network. At the same time, by means of dynamic connectivity, some studies have pointed out that the decline in the consciousness level is related to the decline in the functional diversity and information integration ability of the posterior midline brain regions of the brain. Defects of existing calculations: For the diagnosis of patients with disorders of consciousness, most of the existing technologies adopt static functional connectivity analysis methods, ignoring the dynamic activity characteristics of the patients' brains in the time dimension. Although a few studies have adopted dynamic functional connectivity analysis methods, they all use k-means clustering to reduce the dimensionality of the brain activity patterns in the time dimension, and the final representative features obtained are also the arithmetic average of the clustering results, and then perform between-group analysis.Therefore, the deficiencies of the above methods are manifested in three aspects: First, the static analysis method ignores the dynamic activity characteristic information of the brain and is insufficient to comprehensively explore the brain activity basis supporting the normal consciousness level; Second, the previous methods perform clustering based on k-means, and the number of clusters is often determined by the researcher, which is difficult to avoid subjectivity; Finally, in the current research on dynamic functional connectivity of disorders of consciousness, the sample size is small, and verification based on large-sample data is required.

[0052] To solve the problems of the existing technology, this embodiment provides a method for classifying brain functional magnetic resonance images. By calculating the dynamic coefficient of variation of local brain regions, the detection method is comprehensive, and the classification model is constructed based on a large-sample data set, which can achieve more accurate image classification results. Specifically, in implementation, first, the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image of a patient with a disorder of consciousness and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image of a healthy subject are respectively obtained; then, the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image are preprocessed, and based on a preset brain atlas template, the preprocessed first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image are segmented into brain regions to obtain several brain regions, and the average time series signal of each brain region is extracted; then, based on the sliding time window method, the correlation coefficient of the average time series signals between brain regions is calculated, and based on the correlation coefficient, a dynamic functional connectivity matrix is constructed; finally, based on the dynamic functional connectivity matrix, the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region under the cross-time window is calculated, and based on the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region under the cross-time window and the classification model constructed based on the large-sample data set, the category of the brain functional magnetic resonance image is obtained.

[0053] Exemplary method

[0054] This embodiment provides a method for classifying brain functional magnetic resonance images, and this method can be applied to an intelligent terminal for medical imaging. Specifically, as Figure 1-2 shown, the method includes:

[0055] Step S100, respectively obtain the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image of a patient with a disorder of consciousness and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image of a healthy subject;

[0056] Specifically, the resting-state functional magnetic resonance image can be obtained by using a nuclear magnetic resonance scanner. In order to classify the subsequent detection results, the present invention will obtain the resting-state functional magnetic resonance image of a patient with a disorder of consciousness and the resting-state functional magnetic resonance image of a healthy subject.

[0057] After obtaining the resting-state functional magnetic resonance images of the patient with a disorder of consciousness and the healthy subject, the following steps can be executed as Figure 1-2The following steps are shown: S200, preprocessing the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image, and performing brain region segmentation on the preprocessed first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image based on a preset brain map template to obtain multiple brain regions, and extracting the average time series signal of each brain region;

[0058] Specifically, the first and second resting-state fMRI images can be preprocessed using the SPM12 (Statistical Parametric Mapping) software package, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the preprocessed first and second resting-state fMRI images is improved. Because the first and second resting-state fMRI images represent whole-brain imaging data, brain region segmentation is required for subsequent, more detailed analysis. In this embodiment, the preset brain map template is a standard brain map derived from the ICA results of the HCP public dataset, which includes 32 brain regions. Therefore, the first and second resting-state fMRI images are segmented into several brain regions based on the 32 brain regions in the standard brain map, and the average time series signal of each brain region is extracted to prepare for the subsequent construction of the dynamic functional connectivity matrix.

[0059] In one implementation, the following step may be performed before step S200: screening the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image.

[0060] Specifically, in order to eliminate the impact of severe structural damage on signal quality and data analysis, data in which brain structures are obviously deformed, distorted, or missing in the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image are eliminated to complete the screening of the above data.

[0061] In step S200, the preprocessing of the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image includes the following steps: removing preset time points, inter-layer time correction, head motion correction, image registration, image segmentation, spatial normalization, denoising and signal normalization are performed on the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image.

[0062] Specifically, the preprocessing process includes: removing the first 5 time points, interslice time correction, head motion correction, structural-functional image registration, image segmentation, spatial normalization, removing the influence of physiological noise (average signals of cerebrospinal fluid and white matter), head motion (head motion parameters in 6 dimensions), band-pass (0.01 - 0.08 Hz) filtering, and signal normalization. After preprocessing both the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image, the influence caused by subject head motion, equipment noise, and physiological noise during data acquisition can be minimized, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image can be improved. Among them, removing the images of the first 5 time points is considered due to the uneven magnetic field when the magnetic resonance machine starts. Since magnetic resonance data is scanned slice by slice during acquisition, there are time differences between different slices, so interpolation method is needed for interslice correction. In addition, since the subject will have head motion during the magnetic resonance experiment, in order to exclude the influence of sampling points with large head motion, head motion correction needs to be performed based on the reference time point. Finally, the individual functional imaging data is projected into the standard MNI (Montreal Neurological Institute) space, that is, signal normalization is performed, preparing for subsequent between-group comparison and large-sample data classification.

[0063] In step S200, the extracting the average time series signal of each brain region includes the following steps: extracting the time series of each voxel in each brain region; averaging the time series of all voxels in each brain region to obtain the average time series signal of each brain region.

[0064] Specifically, a voxel is a volume element, which is the smallest unit for digital data segmentation in three-dimensional space. Therefore, a brain region can contain multiple voxels. Extract the time series of each voxel in each brain region of the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image, and extract the time series of each voxel in each brain region of the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image. It should be noted that the above time series is the residual series after preprocessing and regression of noise. Finally, average the time series of all voxels in each brain region of the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image to obtain the average time series signal of each brain region of the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image; average the time series of all voxels in each brain region of the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image to obtain the average time series signal of each brain region of the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image.

[0065] After obtaining the average time series signal of each brain region of the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the average time series signal of each brain region of the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image, the following can be performed as Figure 1-2The following steps are shown: S300. Based on the sliding time window method, calculate the correlation coefficient of the average time series signals between brain regions, and construct a dynamic functional connectivity matrix according to the correlation coefficient.

[0066] Specifically, the sliding time window method is a commonly used method for constructing a dynamic functional connectivity matrix. According to the window size (w) and the step size (s), the original time series is divided into several overlapping (w≥s) or non-overlapping (w≤s) time periods. In this embodiment, in each window (w), calculate the correlation coefficient of the average time series signals between pairwise brain regions in the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image. The correlation coefficient can be the Pearson correlation coefficient. Finally, the correlation coefficients can be constructed into a dynamic functional connectivity matrix.

[0067] In step S300, the method of calculating the correlation coefficient of the average time series signals between brain regions based on the sliding time window includes the following steps: Obtain the window size and window step of the sliding time window; Based on the window size and the window step, divide the average time series signal of each brain region into several time windows; For each time window, calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between brain regions in each time window.

[0068] Specifically, the window size and window step of the sliding time window can be set manually and input into the system. The system obtains the window size w and window step s, and uses the rule of overlapping (w≥s) or non-overlapping (w≤s) to divide the average time series signal of each brain region into several time windows. It should be noted that the division method of the average time series signal of each brain region in the first resting-state functional magnetic resonance image and the second resting-state functional magnetic resonance image is the same. For each time window, calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between pairwise brain regions in each time window. In this embodiment, with a window length of 22 TRs (44 seconds) and a step size of 1 TR (2 seconds), when the original time series length is 235 TRs, a total of 214 consecutive windows are obtained. After division by the sliding time window, the original time series matrix of 32 brain regions (32×235) is converted into (32×214) consecutive time windows. Based on the time series of each window, calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between pairwise of the 32 brain regions. In any window, the Pearson correlation coefficient between pairwise brain regions is calculated by the following formula:

[0069]

[0070] where x and y are two brain regions respectively, n is the number of brain regions (such as 32), and the value of r ranges from -1 to 1. The closer the value is to -1, the more negative correlation is shown between the two brain regions. On the contrary, the closer the value is to 1, the more positive correlation is shown between the brain regions.

[0071] In step S300, constructing the dynamic functional connectivity matrix according to the correlation coefficient includes the following steps: using the Pearson correlation coefficient between brain regions in each time window as the first matrix; and forming the dynamic functional connectivity matrix by all the first matrices corresponding to all time windows.

[0072] Specifically, using the Pearson correlation coefficient between brain regions in each time window as the first matrix means that the calculated correlation coefficients between any two of the 32 brain regions form a 32×32 correlation matrix, which is called the first matrix. Then, forming the dynamic functional connectivity matrix by all the first matrices corresponding to all time windows. That is to say, in the time dimension, based on the sliding time window method, 214 32×32 first matrices, i.e., the dynamic functional connectivity matrix, can be obtained.

[0073] In one implementation, after constructing the dynamic functional connectivity matrix according to the correlation coefficient, the following steps are included: calculating the similarity between the upper triangular regions of the first matrices in the dynamic functional connectivity matrix to obtain the similarity coefficient; and calculating the dynamic stability value for each time window based on the similarity coefficient.

[0074] Specifically, to improve the computational efficiency, the dynamic functional connectivity matrix (214×32×32) is converted into a two-dimensional matrix (214×496), where 496 = 32×(32 - 1) / 2, that is, taking the upper triangular elements of the functional connectivity matrix for each window. Here, the first dimension of the matrix is the number of windows (214), and the second dimension is the correlation coefficients between any two of the 32 brain regions. To measure the similarity of the functional connectivity matrices of different windows, a similarity matrix of the dynamic functional connectivity two-dimensional matrix is further constructed based on the correlation coefficient. For the dynamic functional connectivity matrices of any two windows, their similarity coefficient (S) can be measured by the following formula:

[0075] S(t w1 ,t w2 ) = corr[TriUpper(dFC(t w1 )), TriUpper(dFC(t w2 ))]

[0076] where S(t w1 ,t w2 ) refers to the similarity coefficient between the upper triangular regions of the dynamic functional connectivity matrices of window w1 and window w2, which measures the similarity degree between the upper triangular regions of the dynamic functional connectivity matrices of any two windows. The larger the value, the higher the similarity. dFC(t w1 ) and dFC(t w2) refer to the dynamic functional connectivity matrices under windows w1 and w2 respectively, and the similarity degree between the two is realized by calculating the correlation coefficient of their upper triangular matrices. Therefore, after calculating the similarity coefficient, the two-dimensional dynamic functional connectivity matrix (214*496) based on the sliding time window is converted into a similarity matrix of dynamic functional connectivity (214*214). Applying the similarity matrix to the dataset of large-sample patients with disorders of consciousness, the results are as Figure 3-4 , where Figure 3 is the similarity matrix of the dynamic functional connectivity of healthy subjects, Figure 4 are the similarity matrices of the dynamic functional connectivity of patients with disorders of consciousness respectively. Based on the results of the similarity matrix, it can be obtained that for the brains of subjects with intact consciousness, their dynamic functional connectivity shows good continuity in the time dimension, that is, there is a high correlation coefficient between the functional connectivities of different windows. On the contrary, for the brains of patients with disorders of consciousness with impaired consciousness levels, their dynamic functional connectivity has poor continuity in time, that is, the correlation coefficient is low. Therefore, from the perspective of the whole brain, the differences in dynamic functional connectivity similarity at different consciousness levels can be intuitively seen.

[0077] Then, based on the similarity coefficient, the dynamic stability value of each time window is calculated. In practice, in order to further quantify the stability of the dynamic functional connectivity matrix of the whole brain at any time window, the dynamic stability value of any time window is calculated based on the following formula:

[0078] V dfc (t w1 ) = 1 - S(t w1 , t w2 )

[0079] where, for the dynamic functional connectivity matrix of any time window, its dynamic stability value V dfc (t w1 ) is defined as 1 minus the similarity coefficient between this time window and the adjacent time window. The larger the value of V dfc (t w1 ), the worse the dynamic stability of the time window t w1 , and its functional network structure will be converted in the next window; vice versa. As Figure 5 shows the inter-group differences in dynamic stability V dfc between different consciousness levels (healthy subjects and patients with disorders of consciousness). The results show that this index shows good discrimination at different consciousness levels, that is, the value of the whole-brain dynamic functional connectivity V dfc of patients with disorders of consciousness is significantly higher than that of healthy subjects. According to the definition, that is, the stability of the whole-brain dynamic functional network of patients with disorders of consciousness is poor. This result has been well verified in the large-sample data in the embodiments.

[0080] After obtaining the similarity coefficient, the following steps as shown in Figure 1-2 can be performed: S400. Based on the dynamic functional connectivity matrix, calculate the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region across time windows, and obtain the category of the brain functional magnetic resonance image according to the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region across time windows and the classification model constructed based on the large sample data set.

[0081] Specifically, in order to further calculate the degree of dynamic functional connectivity variation of the brain region, based on the constructed dynamic functional connectivity matrix (214 * 32 * 32), extract the correlation coefficients of brain region j with all other brain regions in each window, that is, the row vectors of the correlation matrix, to form the dynamic matrix (214 * 1 * 32) of the functional connectivity pattern of this brain region. Further, calculate the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region j across time windows based on the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] where TV j is the dynamic coefficient of variation of brain region j, which measures the stability of the dynamic connectivity pattern of the brain region across time windows. FC w1 (j, :) and FC w2 (j, :) are the row vectors of the correlation coefficients of brain region j in time window w1 and time window w2. Finally, TV j takes the mean of 1 minus the correlation coefficients of the row vectors of brain region j between any two windows. The larger the TV j value, the lower the similarity of the functional connectivity pattern of brain region j in the time dimension, that is, the higher the time variation degree, and vice versa. After obtaining the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region across time windows, the category of the brain functional magnetic resonance image can be obtained according to the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region across time windows and the classification model constructed based on the large sample data set. Correspondingly, the step of obtaining the category of the brain functional magnetic resonance image according to the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region across time windows and the classification model constructed based on the large sample data set includes the following steps: obtaining data samples; based on the support vector machine classification algorithm, taking the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region across time windows as the classification vector, classifying the data samples through the classification model constructed based on the large sample data set to obtain the category of the brain functional magnetic resonance image, and using the cross-validation method to test the classification model constructed based on the large sample data set.

[0084] Specifically, the classification model can be a binary classifier. First, data samples are obtained. Based on the sklearn toolkit, the support vector machine classification algorithm is used, and the dynamic coefficient of variation of each brain region j under the cross-time window is used as the feature vector to train the binary classifier so that it can distinguish between patients with disorders of consciousness and healthy subjects. Before training the binary classifier, the features are screened based on statistical comparison (independent samples t-test). During the classifier training process, based on the obtained data samples, the feature vectors of healthy subject samples are labeled as 1, and the feature vectors of patients with disorders of consciousness are labeled as 2. The linear support vector machine is used for model training and testing. Subsequently, the leave-one-out cross-validation method is used to verify the effect of the binary classifier. One data sample is taken out as the test set in turn, and the remaining data is used as the training set. If the classifier correctly judges the healthy subject sample as class 1 and the patient with disorders of consciousness sample as class 2, it is a correct distinction. Finally, the mean value of the correct rates of all cross-validation tests is used as the correct rate of the binary classifier classification. Further, the classifier in the present invention is applied to a large sample dataset of patients with disorders of consciousness (n = 61). Different levels of consciousness can be distinguished by this classifier. The results show that the correct rate of the classification model reaches 90%, that is, among 61 samples, 55 are correctly identified by the model, fully verifying that the correct rate of the classification model constructed based on the large sample dataset in the present invention is very high, as Figure 6 shown, and more accurate image classification results of patients with disorders of consciousness can be obtained.
