[0056] Embodiment One
[0057] The present embodiment utilizes an external camera combined with a motion capture device to track and judge the posture of the subject, judges the human posture through image information, and guides to the best position through voice prompt, at the best position, the heart section of the subject is collected by the ultrasonic probe, in this process, the trajectory of the ultrasonic probe extension rod is recorded in real time by the motion capture system, and the ultrasonic probe trajectory is converted, at the same time, the real-time video information collected by the ultrasonic probe is input into the deep migration metric network for knowledge learning and feature extraction;
[0058] The deep migration metric network is used to predict the current detection section, the standard section acquisition angle, and the probe movement distance by combining the probe motion trajectory. The recognition results are displayed and broadcast in real time until the standard section of cardiac ultrasound is acquired and the examination results are output.
[0059] The following is a detailed description of the scheme with reference to the attached diagram.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the motion capture-based automatic guidance system for standard cardiac ultrasound sections includes a motion capture module 1, an echocardiogram data acquisition module 2, a depth migration measurement module 3, an ultrasound recognition module 4, and a result feedback module 5.
[0061] Among them, the motion capture module 1 is used to monitor the subject's body position and the movement trajectory of the ultrasound probe.
[0062] Data acquisition module 2 is used to acquire real-time ultrasound image information of the subject.
[0063] The depth migration measurement module 3 is used to extract deep features from the acquired cross-section and perform cross-domain migration of key features. By combining it with the motion trajectory features of the ultrasound probe, the corresponding cross-section quality assessment results and location information are obtained.
[0064] The ultrasound recognition module 4 is used to digitally display and voice broadcast the recognition results and location information.
[0065] The results feedback module 5 is used to guide the ultrasound probe, assisting ultrasound physicians in accurately selecting standard ultrasound sections and guiding the probe.
[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the motion capture module 1 uses a motion capture device to record and extract features of the trajectory of the ultrasound probe extension rod in real time, and uses an external camera to capture the patient's position, which is combined with the motion capture device to keep the patient in the optimal examination position.
[0067] In this embodiment, the motion capture device consists of seven visual acquisition cameras, evenly distributed around the perimeter of the roof of the acquisition site. The ultrasonic equipment is located in the center of the room, with no obstructions above, below, or to the sides. In addition, video recording equipment is set up around the perimeter of the site to enable real-time tracking of the acquisition process.
[0068] In the embodiment, the ultrasonic probe extension rod is calibrated by the reflective strip, the processing system of the motion capture device captures the reflective signal, and the real-time position of the ultrasonic probe is obtained through three-dimensional rigid body transformation criteria. The patient position signal is received by the external camera, and when the patient is ready, the whole body image of the patient and the motion trajectory of the ultrasonic probe are collected in real time by each visual acquisition camera in the detection area. According to the conversion of the world coordinate system, the ultrasonic probe coordinate system and the patient position coordinate system, the information of the real-time position and angle (six degrees of freedom) of the ultrasonic probe is obtained.
[0069] The data acquisition module 2 uses an echocardiogram acquisition device (the execution structure is an ultrasonic probe) to collect echocardiogram images in real time. In this process, the six degrees of freedom of the ultrasonic probe are monitored in real time by the motion capture system, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0070] The depth migration measurement module 3 is constructed on the basis of an attention-assisted guided ultrasonic image standard view navigation algorithm and mainly consists of the following two parts: an attention-assisted guided ultrasonic image quality inspection and skill prediction algorithm and an ultrasonic image standard view intelligent navigation.
[0071] Specifically, first, the common deep features of the obtained cardiac ultrasound image and the cardiac ultrasound quality evaluation public data set are extracted by using a feature extractor; second, the deep features are input into an encoder and a decoder for training, the encoded data are subjected to category prediction to obtain the corresponding standard reference image, the decoder is trained by using a standard structure feature (the standard structure feature is extracted by adding standard section prior knowledge in the training process, and the related prior knowledge is applied to real-time standard section selection to obtain the quality prediction result); and finally, the prior knowledge of the standard reference image is used to train the encoded features by a parameter-shared Transformer decoder to obtain the final ultrasonic view displacement amount and apply it to the cardiac image ultrasonic acquisition process.
[0072] The above-mentioned encoder, decoder and feature extractor are composed of two layers of Transformer blocks. The Transformer architecture is composed of a multi-head attention mechanism and a fully connected feedforward network. Each sublayer is connected by a residual link and subjected to layer normalization calculation. The attention mechanism (Attention) allows the dependency of the input and output sequences to be modeled and efficiently parallelized without considering their distance in the sequence. In this way, the network structure composed of the Transformer can obtain the deep features of the ultrasonic image. For example, the Transformer-based feature extractor architecture is as shown in Figure 4 .
[0073] After the ultrasound image input, the input image data is first segmented into a sequence of image blocks, and position division embedding is performed to obtain the spatial correlation of different tissue structures while fully preserving the spatial information according to the pixel distribution distance. Then, the arranged image data is input into a feature extractor composed of Transformer blocks based on a multi-head attention mechanism, the deep structure features are extracted and input into a structure predictor to predict the displacement of the ultrasound method. The attention mechanism can be represented as:
[0074] (1)
[0075] wherein, Q is a query matrix, K is an attention focus content, V is a value matrix.
[0076] Then, the displacement predictor is composed of multiple interactive layers of multi-head attention and multilayer perceptron (MLP) blocks. The multi-head attention block and the multilayer perceptron are part of the original architecture of the transformer network. The attention mechanism can be intuitively explained by using the human visual mechanism, which allows the model to dynamically focus on the structural features that have a positive effect on prediction in the identification task. On this basis, the TIQA, IQA, CNN, and other quality evaluation methods measure the real-time cardiac ultrasound section and the corresponding standard cardiac ultrasound section, calculate the feature difference between the two, and the feature with the smallest second-order statistical difference is the optimal prediction feature. The set is conducive to the quality predictor to better obtain the tissue structure quality prediction result.
[0077] In this embodiment, the quality evaluation result divides the standard degree of the section into 5 levels: excellent, good, qualified, basically qualified, and unqualified.
[0078] The MLP maps multiple inputs to a single output, and the multiple inputs in this embodiment refer to multi-dimensional features. This part converts the multi-dimensional features into a single quality score output, and trains the above overall architecture through backpropagation. The structure finally uses the Softmax function to normalize the weights, and obtains the final six-degree-of-freedom displacement prediction by summing the weights, corresponding key values, and inverse weighting, so as to calculate the distance information between the real-time section and the standard section. The moving direction, moving displacement, and posture of the probe are determined.
[0079] The ultrasound recognition module 4 can output real-time section category information and section quality evaluation results, and comprehensively obtain ultrasound prompt information and perform digital display and voice broadcast. The category refers to the output section name, including the two-chamber heart, three-chamber heart, four-chamber heart, five-chamber heart, and sternal left ventricular long axis, etc. Common ultrasound sections.
[0080] The result feedback module 5 can output the six-degree-of-freedom displacement information of the current cross-section converted standard cross-section, realize real-time feedback interaction of the ultrasonic equipment and the motion capture device, and further improve the accuracy of model training.
