Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent medical treatment, and specifically to a method, device and program product for predicting the location of a target area in the lung abdomen under CT guidance. Background Art

[0002] At present, lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related death in my country and around the world. The clinical treatment principle for lung cancer is: early diagnosis and early treatment. With the increasing popularity of chest CT in clinical applications, more and more small lung nodules suspected of early lung cancer are discovered early. During the follow-up of these small nodules, when the volume of ground-glass nodules increases or the solid components increase, and the solid part of some solid nodules exceeds 6mm, clinical intervention is required. Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is the preferred method for treating these small nodules. However, studies have shown that a high proportion of thoracoscopic resection of small lung nodules cannot be accurately located because they cannot be seen or palpated during surgery, and traditional thoracotomy is performed instead; when the diameter of the lung nodule is less than 10mm or the distance from the pleura is greater than 10mm, it is difficult to accurately locate the small lung nodules during surgery, especially pure ground-glass nodules. Preoperative CT-guided micro-coil positioning of small lung nodules can effectively solve this problem, so that small nodules in the lung can be accurately removed.

[0003] However, due to the influence of respiratory movement, there are difficulties in the puncture of small lung nodules under CT guidance. Lung nodules will shift with respiratory movement, especially nodules in the lower lobe, which can shift up to 50mm in the up and down direction with respiratory movement. Many studies have shown that due to the influence of respiratory movement, nodules located in the lower lobe are risk factors for failure of CT-guided lung puncture and risk factors for complications such as pneumothorax. Although some CT-guided puncture navigation devices have been launched, the targets set by these navigation devices are fixed targets, and the problem of lung nodules shifting with breathing during puncture has not been solved. Puncture under the guidance of C-arm cone beam CT or CT fluoroscopy can dynamically observe the displacement of lung nodules with breathing in real time, but these methods will cause ionizing radiation damage to the operator. Summary of the invention
