Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a system for locating lesions and suspected lesions in tissues, and a mobile device equipped with the system, and relates to the field of medical devices. Background Technology
[0002] Medical infrared thermal imaging equipment is a product integrating medical technology, infrared imaging technology, and computer multimedia technology. It is an imaging device that records the thermal field of the human body. The human body is a natural biological heat-generating body. Due to differences in anatomical structure, tissue metabolism, blood circulation, and nerve state, different parts of the body have different temperatures, forming different thermal fields. In particular, when local inflammation or malignant tumors occur in the human body, due to changes in blood flow signals and metabolic processes in the diseased or suspected diseased tissues, the temperature of the diseased or suspected diseased tissues, or the areas surrounding the diseased or suspected diseased tissues, will rise.
[0003] However, current medical infrared thermal imaging equipment used both domestically and internationally still has many shortcomings, mainly including: 1) Low color recognition accuracy: Due to the influence of heat transfer, current thermal imaging images show obvious temperature transitions, represented by multiple colors. With many similar colors mixed together, it becomes difficult to identify the specific extent and boundaries of lesions; 2) Difficulty in distinguishing the location of lesions: Because thermal imaging images cannot display the contour features of the human body, after identifying the temperature and color region of a lesion, it is difficult to determine the specific location of the lesion. Subsequent equipment analysis is necessary to determine the exact location of the lesion, a cumbersome process with insufficient visual clarity, and frequent misjudgments during analysis. The possibility is relatively high; 3) High cost and complex operation. Current infrared thermal imaging equipment is not only expensive, but even after processing infrared thermal images through multiple means, the resulting images are still virtual color images composed of several colors. When manually examining infrared thermal images, it is difficult to identify lesions and suspected lesions with the naked eye. Operators need to be careful and have rich experience in image interpretation, otherwise it is easy to miss or misdiagnose; 4) Narrow scope of application. Current medical infrared thermal imaging equipment generally has the disadvantages of large equipment size, high purchase cost, and strict requirements for the professional level of operators, which has prevented its rapid promotion and application, and it cannot be applied to other scenarios. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a system capable of accurately determining the extent and boundaries of lesions and locating lesions and suspected lesions, as well as a mobile device equipped with this system.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a system for locating lesions and suspected lesions in tissue, the system comprising:
[0007] The detection device is configured to acquire thermal imaging images, color photographs, and location information of the subject being tested.
[0008] The thermal imaging recognition enhancement module is configured to change the color contrast and hue of the body thermal imaging image to obtain highly recognizable thermal imaging images of lesions and suspected lesion tissue parts.
[0009] The contour image extraction module is configured to extract the contour image of the object being measured from a color photograph of the object being measured.
[0010] The first layer overlay control module is configured to overlay high-recognition thermal imaging images and contour images to obtain thermal imaging positioning images that clearly display lesions and suspected lesion tissues on the contour images.
[0011] The second layer overlay control module is configured to overlay high-recognition thermal imaging images and color photographs, so that color positioning images of lesions and suspected lesion tissues are clearly displayed on the color photographs.
[0012] The positioning module is configured to accurately locate and simultaneously display the location of lesions and suspected lesion tissues.
[0013] The display device is configured to display the thermal imaging positioning image and / or the color positioning image, and to display the location of lesions and suspected lesion tissues.
[0014] Furthermore, the detection device includes an infrared thermal imaging probe and an optical camera, which are used to acquire body image information of the object being tested and generate thermal imaging images and color photographs of the tested parts.
[0015] Furthermore, the detection device also includes a laser probe, which is used not only to measure the relative distance of the object being tested and obtain the position information of the object being tested, but also to accurately verify the location of lesions and suspected lesions by emitting a laser beam to target suspicious lesion sites.
[0016] Furthermore, the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module uses thermal imaging processing software to achieve contrast and hue adjustment, including a transparency adjustment module and a temperature and color display scale;
[0017] The transparency adjustment module is used to adjust the display transparency of lesions and suspected lesion tissues;
[0018] The temperature color display scale is used to represent different body temperatures of the tested object in different colors on the image, and to view the color reference corresponding to different body temperatures of different parts of the tested object.
[0019] Furthermore, the high-resolution thermal imaging image includes at least two modes:
[0020] Mode 1 features two colors in the image. The high-temperature area of suspected pathology is displayed as a highly conspicuous single solid color, while the low-temperature area is a single solid color background with a large color contrast to the high-temperature area. The background color transparency is adjustable, and the dividing line between the high and low temperature areas is a temperature and color relationship adjustment line.
[0021] Mode 2 features an image composed of three color regions. The suspected pathological high-temperature region is displayed as a highly conspicuous single solid color, while the low-temperature region is a single solid color background with a significant difference in color contrast from the high-temperature region. The color relationship adjustment line is located at the boundary between the medium-temperature and high-temperature regions.
[0022] Furthermore, the first layer overlay control module is used to overlay the high-recognition thermal imaging image extracted by the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module and the contour image obtained by the contour image extraction module, and adjust the overlap accuracy according to the distance of the object being tested measured by the laser probe, so as to obtain an image that clearly displays lesions and suspected lesion tissues on the contour of the detected part, which is achieved using the layer overlay function of the image editing software.
[0023] Furthermore, the second layer overlay control module is used to overlay the high-recognition thermal imaging image obtained by the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module and the ordinary color photo obtained by the optical camera, and to appropriately adjust the overlap accuracy according to the distance between the object being tested and the detection device measured by the detection device, so as to clearly display the images of lesions and suspected lesions on the color photo, which is achieved using the layer overlay function of image editing software.
[0024] Furthermore, the positioning module uses a crosshair cursor to locate and simultaneously display the location of lesions and suspected lesions. The crosshair cursor is a movable cursor that can be moved to any position, and can also mark a specific position individually.
[0025] Furthermore, the content displayed by the display device includes: thermal imaging positioning image, color positioning image, temperature and color display scale, lesion and suspected lesion affected area, crosshair cursor and / or temperature and color relationship adjustment line.
[0026] Secondly, the present invention also provides a mobile device, including the system with lesion and suspected lesion tissue localization function as described in any of the first aspects of the present invention.
[0027] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:
[0028] 1. The present invention is equipped with a first layer overlay control module and a second layer overlay control module, which can intuitively display lesions and suspected lesion tissues in the form of thermal imaging on the basis of a clear outline of the human body or a color photograph. At the same time, it has the function of color differentiation of different body temperatures, which is convenient for direct observation and research.
[0029] 2. The present invention is equipped with a positioning module, which can more accurately determine the extent and boundaries of the lesion and reduce the possibility of misdiagnosis.
[0030] 3. The system of the present invention has the function of locating lesions and suspected lesions. It has the advantages of being non-invasive, non-interventional, small in size, easy to operate, with intuitive results, high efficiency and speed, and low equipment cost. It is suitable for home health care, elderly care services, outpatient services of medical institutions, clinical surgery, animal experiments, academic research and other fields.
[0031] In summary, this invention is easy to manufacture and put into practice, and does not require high costs or large equipment size. It is suitable for various scenarios such as medical and home use, and can be applied to the examination of lesions and suspected lesions in the human body. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Existing medical infrared thermal imaging equipment has the problem of difficulty in identifying the specific distribution boundaries of lesions, a high possibility of misjudgment, and easy to cause missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. This invention provides a system for locating lesions and suspected lesions, and a mobile device equipped with the system. The system includes: a detection device configured to acquire a thermal imaging image, a color photograph, and location information of a subject; a thermal imaging recognition enhancement module configured to change the color contrast and hue of the thermal imaging image to obtain a high-recognition thermal imaging image of the lesion and suspected lesion; a contour image extraction module configured to extract the contour image of the subject from the color photograph; a first layer overlay control module configured to overlay the high-recognition thermal imaging image and the contour image to obtain a thermal imaging location image clearly displaying the lesion and suspected lesion on the contour image; a second layer overlay control module configured to overlay the high-recognition thermal imaging image and the color photograph to clearly display a color location image of the lesion and suspected lesion on the color photograph; a positioning module configured to accurately locate and simultaneously display the position of the lesion and suspected lesion; and a display device configured to display the thermal imaging location image and / or the color location image, and to display the position of the lesion and suspected lesion. Therefore, this invention can intuitively display lesions and suspected lesion sites in the form of thermal imaging based on clear outlines or color photographs of the human body, which is convenient for direct observation and research, can more accurately determine the extent and boundaries of lesions, reduce the possibility of misdiagnosis, has low cost, and is highly applicable.
[0048] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0049] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, the system with lesion and suspected lesion tissue localization function provided in this embodiment includes:
[0050] Detection device 1 is used to acquire thermal imaging images, color photographs and location information of the subject being tested;
[0051] The thermal imaging recognition enhancement module 2 is used to change the color contrast and hue of the body thermal imaging image to improve the recognition of problem areas in the thermal imaging image by the naked eye, so as to obtain a high recognition thermal imaging image with high recognition of lesions and suspected lesions and weakened recognition of other areas.
[0052] Contour image extraction module 3 is used to extract the contour image of the detected part in the color photograph of the object under test;
[0053] The first layer overlay control module 4 is used to overlay thermal imaging images and contour images to obtain thermal imaging positioning images that clearly show lesions and suspected lesion tissues on the contour of the detected area.
[0054] The second layer overlay control module 5 is used to overlay thermal imaging images and color photographs to obtain color positioning images that clearly display lesions and suspected lesion tissues on the color photographs.
[0055] Positioning module 6 is used to accurately locate and simultaneously display the location of lesions and suspected lesion tissues;
[0056] Display device 7 is used to simultaneously display the thermal imaging positioning image and color positioning image generated by the first layer overlay control module 4 and the second layer overlay control module 5, and to display the location of lesions and suspected lesion tissues.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the detection device 1 includes an infrared thermal imaging probe 11, an optical camera 12, and a laser probe 13. The infrared thermal imaging probe 11 and the optical camera 12 are used to acquire body image information of the subject 14 to generate thermal imaging images and ordinary color photographs of the tested parts. They also have lesion localization functions to measure the distance to the subject and obtain the position information of the subject.
[0058] Furthermore, the infrared thermal imaging probe 11 collects infrared rays from the human tissue of the subject to form a thermal image. The infrared thermal imaging probe 11 can be a far-infrared camera, mainly used for superficial skin examinations without drug intervention. As a non-limiting embodiment, the infrared thermal imaging probe 11 can also be a dual-band (infrared + far-infrared / near-infrared) or multi-band (near-infrared + mid-infrared + far-infrared) infrared camera. It should be noted that if a dual-band or multi-band infrared camera is used, the subject 14 needs drug intervention. The type of infrared camera can be determined according to the functional requirements and is not specifically limited here. For example, far-infrared cameras can be used for home healthcare, elderly care services, and outpatient services in medical institutions, while multi-band infrared cameras can be used for surgical procedures. This is just one example, and is not limited to this.
[0059] Furthermore, the laser probe 13 is used to measure the distance between the object under test 14 and the lens, ensuring it is comparable to the distance recommended for the testing requirements. This improves the image overlap between the thermal imaging and contour images, thus assisting in the precise localization of lesions and suspected lesions. Additionally, the laser probe 13 can also emit a laser beam aimed at suspicious areas and compare it with the location markers in the affected areas of lesions and suspected lesions, thereby performing precise location verification of lesions and suspected lesions.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module 2 can use existing infrared image processing software to achieve contrast and tone adjustment. Specifically, as shown in the example... Figure 3 As shown, the transparency adjustment module of infrared image processing software can be used to adjust the display transparency of lesions and suspected lesion tissues. A temperature color display scale in the infrared image processing software can also be used to represent different body temperatures in the detected area on the image with different colors, allowing for viewing the color references corresponding to different body temperatures in different parts of the detected area.
[0061] Furthermore, the colors of different temperature zones can be set using infrared image processing software. The high-recognition thermal imaging image includes at least two modes. Mode 1 is characterized by the presence of two colors in the image. The suspected pathological high-temperature zone is displayed as a highly conspicuous single solid color, while the low-temperature zone is a single solid color background with a significant color contrast to the high-temperature zone. The background color transparency is adjustable. The boundary between the high and low temperature zones is (temperature and color relationship adjustment line). This high-low temperature boundary line can be adjusted by sliding or scrolling on the display device as needed. As the boundary line between the high-temperature zone and adjacent temperature zones, this boundary line can be adjusted according to the operator's needs. Mode 2 features an image composed of three color regions. The suspected pathological high-temperature region is displayed as a highly conspicuous single solid color, while the low-temperature region is a single solid color background with a significant color contrast to the high-temperature region. Between the high-temperature and low-temperature regions lies a very small medium-temperature region (generally, the temperature difference between the upper and lower limits of the regions is ≤1℃). The color relationship adjustment line is located at the boundary between the medium-temperature and high-temperature regions. The image display of the medium-temperature region corresponds to the color in the temperature and color relationship display scale. After processing in this way, large areas of normal low-temperature tissue can be ignored, and suspicious and suspected lesion areas can be displayed intuitively. Because this invention does not require high image clarity in this process, the accuracy requirements of the thermal imaging equipment are not high, reducing the size and cost of the equipment. It also eliminates the need for complex imaging analysis and comparison software. The operation process is simple and can be achieved by moving the color relationship adjustment line.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the contour image extraction module 3 is used to extract the contour image of the detected part from the color photograph of the object under test. The contour image extraction module 3 can be implemented using image editing software such as Photoshop, for example, it can be implemented using film (negative film) mode, which will not be elaborated further.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the first layer overlay control module 4 is used to overlay the high-recognition thermal imaging image extracted by the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module 2 and the contour image obtained by the contour image extraction module 3, and to appropriately adjust the overlap accuracy according to the distance of the object being tested measured by the laser probe 13, so as to obtain an image that clearly displays the lesion and suspected lesion tissue on the contour of the detected part. This can be achieved using the layer overlay function of conventional image editing software such as Photoshop (computer) or Photofox (mobile phone).
[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the second layer overlay control module 5 is used to overlay the high-recognition thermal imaging image acquired by the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module 12 and the ordinary color photo acquired by the optical camera 12, and to appropriately adjust the overlap accuracy according to the distance between the object being tested and the detection device 1 as measured by the detection device 1, so that the images of lesions and suspected lesion tissues are clearly displayed on the color photo. This can be achieved using the layer overlay function of conventional image editing software such as Photoshop (computer) or Photofox (mobile phone).
[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning module 6 can accurately locate and simultaneously display the location of lesions and suspected lesion tissues using a crosshair cursor 61 (taking this as an example, but not limited to this). The crosshair cursor corresponds to the marked area of the lesion region of the object being tested. The crosshair cursor is a movable cursor, and the accurate location can be displayed when it is moved to any position.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the display device 7 displays content including thermal imaging positioning images, color positioning images, temperature and color relationship display scales, areas affected by lesions and suspected lesions, moving crosshair cursors, and / or transparency adjustment lines for high-temperature areas.
[0067] In summary, this invention can simultaneously display the affected areas of lesions and suspected lesions in both thermal imaging and color positioning images. Furthermore, the transparency of these affected areas in the color positioning image can be adjusted as needed using high-temperature area transparency adjustment lines. This allows for direct observation of the morphology and state of lesions and suspected lesions within the color positioning image, successfully avoiding the complex and cumbersome image observation process of conventional thermal imaging. Moreover, this invention simultaneously displays a movable crosshair in both the thermal imaging and color positioning images, with the crosshair's position synchronized in both images, aiding in the precise location of lesions and suspected lesions.
[0068] Example 2: This example also provides a mobile device, which includes the system of Example 1 with the function of locating lesions and suspected lesions.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the mobile device may be a mobile phone or a mobile computer.
[0070] The following detailed embodiments illustrate the application of the system of the present invention, which has the function of locating lesions and suspected lesions, in the CAT S61 examination of thyroid lesion areas in adult males.
[0071] The hardware device used in this embodiment is a CAT S61 (a smartphone model manufactured by Caterpillar Inc.). This device includes an infrared thermal imaging probe 11, a conventional optical camera 12, and a laser probe 13 in the detection device. Based on the above hardware device, the specific application steps of the system with lesion and suspected lesion tissue localization function provided in this embodiment on a mobile device include:
[0072] S1. The detection device 1 is used to examine the thyroid gland and surrounding areas of the subject, wherein the infrared thermal imaging probe 11 acquires data as follows: Figure 4 The human body thermal imaging image shown is obtained by the optical camera 12 as follows. Figure 5 The ordinary color photograph shown is used to measure and store the distance from the object being measured to the detection device 1 by the laser probe 13.
[0073] S2, such as Figure 6 As shown, the human body thermal imaging image is processed by the thermal imaging recognition enhancement module 12. After adjusting the color contrast, the color of the lesion and suspected lesion tissue is deepened, the color of the rest of the tissue is weakened, and the contrast visual effect is enhanced, resulting in a high-recognition thermal imaging image.
[0074] S3, such as Figure 7 As shown, after processing by the contour image extraction module 3, a clear contour image is obtained from a regular color photograph of the human body. This contour image is then combined with a high-recognition thermal imaging image and processed by the first layer overlay control module 4 to obtain a thermal infrared positioning image. Simultaneously, as... Figure 8 As shown, even without any processing, a regular color photograph of the human body is combined with a high-recognition thermal image and then processed by the second layer overlay control module to obtain a color positioning image.
[0075] S4, thermal infrared positioning images, color positioning images, and the locations of lesions and suspected lesions located by positioning module 6 are all displayed on display device 7, such as Figure 9 As shown;
[0076] S5. Adjust the transparency adjustment module on the left side of the display device 7 according to actual needs to achieve an image that adapts to the eye.
[0077] S6, such as Figure 10As shown, switch to the temperature color scale to directly observe and study the distribution of high and low temperature areas in order to make a preliminary judgment on the location of lesions and suspected lesion tissues. Use the movable crosshair to correct the position of the boundary between the high temperature area and the low temperature area in mode 1.
[0078] S7, such as Figure 11 As shown, switching to mode 2 allows you to observe the distribution image of high temperature, medium temperature, and low temperature with gradual color transitions, which is convenient for studying temperature change trends. At the same time, you can use the crosshair cursor to record the location of the change.
