Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of non-invasive detection, and in particular to a non-invasive detection system and method for portal hypertension based on fractal theory. Background Technology
[0002] Portal hypertension is caused by various etiologies that obstruct portal vein blood flow, leading to increased portal vein pressure and symptoms such as rectal bleeding, splenomegaly, and hypersplenism. It is particularly prone to causing rupture of esophageal varices, resulting in massive bleeding that can be life-threatening. Portal hypertension is often a direct complication of cirrhosis, clinically manifesting as splenomegaly, hypersplenism, thrombocytopenia, ascites, and systemic symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, weight loss, and emaciation. Therefore, early diagnosis of portal hypertension can effectively reduce the risks associated with surgery for patients.
[0003] Traditional methods for diagnosing portal hypertension include invasive and non-invasive approaches. The invasive method, the hepatic vein pressure gradient method, requires insertion of a catheter through the jugular vein into the patient's body. A balloon catheter is used to measure the pressure of the hepatic veins using a pressure sensor at its tip. This method is not only invasive but also requires sophisticated medical equipment. Non-invasive methods include indirect parameter measurements such as serum tests, anatomical imaging (e.g., Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging), physical parameters of tissue properties (e.g., elastography), and quantitative assessment of radiological imaging characteristics (e.g., radiomics). However, these methods can only provide a preliminary diagnosis based on biochemical indicators and cannot determine the specific portal vein pressure value. Therefore, research on how to combine existing non-invasive methods to derive portal vein pressure values is of great significance. Patent CN103976720B uses CT images to generate a three-dimensional shape of the portal venous system, sets corresponding inlet and outlet boundary conditions, and solves the blood flow equation through computational fluid dynamics. However, this method only extracts the major vessels of the portal venous system, so the simulated boundary conditions are not accurate, and the calculated pressure contains errors.
