Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a control method and a device for assisting breast examination. Background Art

[0002] Breast cancer is a common cause of death among women around the world. In recent years, the mortality rate caused by breast cancer has been gradually increasing. The main reason is that breast cancer is discovered too late. Early screening and detection are the key to improving the treatment results of breast cancer. Internationally, clinical palpation, palpation imaging, ultrasound imaging, mammography, nuclear magnetic resonance and other methods are usually used to detect patients. Various inspection techniques use different principles to reveal the characteristics of breast diseases from different angles and solve the same breast examination diagnosis problem. Among them, palpation imaging uses the principle of stress-type tissue elasticity difference to identify the nature of breast lesions with high accuracy, and can calculate parameters such as hardness, size, and shape of breast lesions; and ultrasound technology has been used in breast cancer diagnosis since the 1950s. It has the advantages of non-invasive, fast, and strong repeatability. It can clearly show the morphology, internal structure and adjacent tissue changes of soft tissues in various layers of the breast and the masses therein. The various inspection techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages and can complement each other. For example, palpation imaging has a very high sensitivity in detecting breast solid tumors and is not easy to miss, but has poor ability to detect cystic lesions. Ultrasound detection has a very high specificity in identifying cystic lesions and is not easy to misdiagnose.

[0003] There is a technical problem in the existing technology that a single device cannot quickly and accurately complete breast cancer screening, and because it is operated by medical staff, there is a chance of missed diagnosis. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a control method and device for assisting breast examination, which can realize rapid palpation examination and ultrasonic examination, and can assist doctors in performing breast examination without omissions.

[0006] Step 1, placing the probe of the palpation device in the area to be detected;

[0007] Step 2: determine whether the corresponding breast palpation examination operation is completed for the current breast examination area, and output the breast palpation examination status to the terminal, wherein the breast palpation examination status includes: suspicious point status and no suspicious point status;

[0008] Step 3: If the breast palpation examination status is a no-suspicious-point status, the terminal outputs a moving prompt message; if the breast palpation examination status is a suspicious-point status, the terminal reminds the user to use the probe of the ultrasound device to complete the corresponding breast ultrasound examination operation on the current breast examination area, and outputs the breast ultrasound examination status to the terminal, wherein the breast ultrasound examination status includes: lesion point status and non-lesion point status;

[0009] Step 4, the terminal stores the breast ultrasound examination status of the ultrasound device; then the terminal outputs a replacement probe of the palpation device and outputs a moving prompt message, wherein the moving prompt message is used to prompt the probe of the palpation device to be moved to the next breast examination area where the corresponding breast palpation examination operation has not been performed.

[0010] The second aspect of the present invention provides a control system for assisting breast examination, the control system comprising: a palpation device, an ultrasound device and a terminal, including:

[0011] The module to be detected places the probe of the palpation device in the area to be detected;

[0012] The palpation inspection module determines whether the corresponding breast palpation inspection operation is completed for the current breast inspection area, and outputs the breast palpation inspection status to the terminal, wherein the breast palpation inspection status includes: suspicious point status and no suspicious point status;

[0013] Ultrasound confirmation module, if the breast palpation examination status is a no-suspicious-point status, the terminal outputs a moving prompt message; if the breast palpation examination status is a suspicious-point status, the terminal reminds the user to use the probe of the ultrasound device to complete the corresponding breast ultrasound examination operation on the current breast examination area, and outputs the breast ultrasound examination status to the terminal, wherein the breast ultrasound examination status includes: lesion point status and non-lesion point status;

[0014] A storage and prompt module, in which the terminal stores the breast ultrasound examination status of the ultrasound device; then the terminal outputs a replacement probe of the palpation device and outputs a movement prompt message, wherein the movement prompt message is used to prompt the probe of the palpation device to be moved to the next breast examination area where the corresponding breast palpation examination operation has not been performed.

[0015] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0016] The present invention integrates the inspection process of palpation imaging and ultrasonic imaging, uses the probe of the palpation device to inspect suspicious points on the breast, and uses the probe of the ultrasonic device to inspect the lesion points if suspicious points exist; if no suspicious points exist, uses the probe of the palpation device to move to the next breast inspection area that has not been subjected to breast palpation inspection, and uses palpation imaging to speed up the inspection, thereby solving the technical problem of low screening efficiency and achieving the technical effect of rapid screening of breast cancer.

[0017] The present invention divides the right breast of the person to be examined into four quadrant examination areas, which are displayed on the display module of the terminal; determines the current breast examination area and the nearest breast examination area in a quadrant that has not undergone the corresponding breast palpation examination operation, and gives an identification of the area to be examined, and sends the identification of the area to be examined to the terminal, so that the terminal outputs movement prompt information according to the identification of the area to be examined, and the movement prompt information is used to prompt the probe of the palpation device to move to the breast examination area in a quadrant corresponding to the identification of the area to be examined.

[0018] The probe of the palpation device is used to collect suspicious points of the lesion, and the suspicious points are displayed and marked on the display module, which helps the probe of the ultrasound device to quickly find suspicious points, and output the breast ultrasound examination status to the terminal, and finally determine whether it is a lesion point. This technical solution uses the technical characteristics of the high sensitivity of the palpation device to detect breast solid tumors to quickly find suspicious points of breast solid tumors, and then uses the technical characteristics of high specificity of ultrasound detection to identify cystic lesions to determine whether the suspicious points are lesions. In addition, marking can guide medical staff to quickly find suspicious points, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of breast cancer screening.

[0019] The probe of the palpation device is provided with a first posture sensor and a camera inside, which can accurately locate the probe of the palpation device in the current breast examination area of ​​the chest of the person to be examined, so as to quickly start breast cancer screening and improve the efficiency of breast cancer screening. The probe of the ultrasound device is provided with a second posture sensor inside, so as to control the conversion of the probe of the ultrasound device between the freezing mode and the working mode, protect the ultrasound device, and avoid the ultrasound device being turned on for a long time, which may cause damage to the ultrasound device.

[0027] This reference Figure 3 As shown, a control method for assisting breast examination of the present invention includes a terminal 2, wherein the terminal 2 is connected to a probe 22 of an ultrasonic device and a probe 23 of a palpation device via a cable, wherein an existing palpation device circuit board and an ultrasonic device circuit board are integrated inside the terminal 2, and the terminal 2 may also be connected to an existing ultrasonic device and a palpation device respectively; the terminal 2 may be communicatively connected to a display module 21, and the communication method may include a Bluetooth module and / or a WiFi module, and the display module 21 includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc. The display module 21 may be used to display information such as images or text, and may also input information by touching the screen, and a speaker is provided inside the display module 21, which is a normal setting in the art.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, a second posture sensor is provided inside the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device, and the second posture sensor collects the current posture information of the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device, and at least includes two items: a multi-axis sensor and an angular velocity sensor, wherein the multi-axis sensor can be a six-axis sensor, or a plurality of sensors composed of a plurality of three-axis sensors, such as a nine-axis sensor. A first posture sensor and a camera are provided inside the probe 23 of the palpation device, and the first posture sensor also collects the current posture information of the probe 23 of the palpation device. At least one camera is provided inside the probe 23 of the palpation device, and the camera is arranged on the outer shell facade of the probe 23 of the palpation device, parallel to the long axis of the probe 23 of the palpation device, that is, facing the same direction as the probe 23 of the palpation device. When more than two cameras are set, it is necessary to ensure that one camera is arranged on the outer shell facade of the probe 23 of the palpation device, parallel to the long axis of the probe 23 of the palpation device, and collects the image information of the chest of the person to be examined; the other camera is parallel to the short axis of the probe 23 of the palpation device, collects the image information of the medical staff, and cooperates with the camera that collects the image information of the chest of the person to be examined. Of course, the camera can also be set according to actual needs.

[0029] The control method comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 201 : determining the current breast examination area 110 where the probe 23 of the palpation device in the control method is located on the chest of the person to be examined.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the person to be examined is in a supine or prone position, and the chest of the person to be examined is exposed. It is necessary to find an examination starting point for the examination first, so it is important to determine that the current breast examination area 110 is the correct starting point. The probe 23 of the palpation device is provided with a first posture sensor and a camera. The first posture sensor collects the current posture information of the probe 23 of the palpation device, and after collecting the image information of the chest position of the person to be examined through the camera, the accurate positioning of the probe 23 of the palpation device is determined.

[0032] Step 202, determining whether the corresponding breast palpation examination operation is completed for the current breast examination area 110, and outputting the breast palpation examination status to the terminal, wherein the examination status includes: suspicious point status and no suspicious point status.

[0033] The breast palpation inspection here refers to the principle of using bionic simulation of touch to perceive the differences between different tissues, applying a dynamic or static force to the tissue, and due to the physical laws of elastic mechanics and biomechanics, the tissue will respond with a reaction force, and the palpation detection will then collect pressure distribution data of different biological tissues. Because different biological tissues produce different elastic pressures, such as normal tissue and tumor tissue, benign tumors and malignant tumors produce different responses, palpation can perceive these differences, such as the size, hardness, shape, etc. of the tumor, and then after comprehensive analysis of the data, the breast palpation inspection status is output to the terminal, and the inspection status includes: suspicious point status, no suspicious point status.

[0034] Step 204, if it is determined that the current breast examination area 110 is found to have a suspicious point state by the breast palpation device, the probe 22 of the ultrasound device is used to perform the corresponding breast ultrasound examination operation on the current breast examination area 110 at the chest position of the person to be examined, and the breast ultrasound examination state is output to the terminal, and the examination state includes: lesion point state, non-lesion point state.

[0035] According to the principle of ultrasound, the probe 22 of the ultrasound device has a frequency of 7.5 MHz and is suitable for superficial organs of the breast and thyroid gland. Ultrasonic examination has no radiation and can be applied to examinations of any age, especially during pregnancy and lactation. Ultrasonic examination has great advantages for areas that are difficult to irradiate with X-rays, such as the edge of the breast gland and dense breasts. In addition, ultrasonic examination also has technical advantages in distinguishing the cystic and solid nature of breast cysts.

[0036] Step 205: If it is determined that the current breast examination area 110 is checked by the breast palpation device as having no suspicious points, a moving prompt message is outputted, wherein the moving prompt message is used to prompt the probe 23 of the palpation device to be moved to the next breast examination area where no corresponding breast palpation examination operation has been performed.

[0037] The output movement prompt information includes: outputting a sound signal for prompting the probe 23 of the palpation device to move; the sound signal includes: a repeated audio signal emitted by a speaker, a voice signal prompting movement; or outputting a vibration signal for prompting the probe 23 of the palpation device to move, and the vibration signal is emitted by a vibration motor.

[0038] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the terminal 2 of the control method includes a display module 21; when the current breast examination area 110 is judged to be in a state without suspicious points, the method further includes:

[0039] The left breast and the right breast of the person to be examined are divided into four quadrant examination areas respectively, and displayed on the display module 21 of the terminal 2 .

[0040] Determine the current breast examination area 110 and the nearest breast examination area in a quadrant where the corresponding breast palpation examination operation has not been performed, give a to-be-examined area identifier 1201, and send the to-be-examined area identifier 1201 to the terminal 2, so that the terminal 2 outputs movement prompt information according to the to-be-examined area identifier 1201, and the movement prompt information is used to prompt the probe 23 of the palpation device to move to the breast examination area in a quadrant corresponding to the to-be-examined area identifier 1201.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, as shown on the display module 21, the right breast of the person to be examined is divided into four quadrant inspection areas, the second quadrant area of ​​the right breast is the current breast inspection area 110, at this time, the breast palpation inspection operation is performed in this area, and suspicious points are marked 10; the first quadrant area of ​​the right breast of the person to be examined is the area to be inspected 120, and an area to be inspected mark 1201 is provided around the area to be inspected 120, specifically a rotating dotted line mark, which is used to prompt the probe 23 of the palpation device to be moved to the area to be inspected 120; the left breast of the person to be examined is also divided into four quadrant inspection areas, among which the fourth quadrant area of ​​the left breast has completed the palpation inspection operation, which is the completed inspection area 130, and the display state is a special grid.

[0042] In another way, the breast examination system is used to perform an examination operation in the four quadrants of the breast examination area, and the area to be examined 120 is displayed in a first color on the display module 21; the completed examination area 130 is displayed in a second color, and the second color is different from the first color. For example: the first color is blue, and the area to be examined 120 is displayed, and the second color is gray, and the completed examination area 130 is displayed. Of course, the current breast examination area 110 can also be set to a third color, and the third color is green.

[0043] refer to Figure 5 As shown, when conducting a specific breast examination, we recommend that you complete the examination of one breast before conducting the examination of the next breast, so as to avoid missing the inspection area 120. The right breast of the person to be examined is divided into four quadrants for examination. The first quadrant of the right breast is the current breast examination area 110. At this time, the breast palpation examination operation is performed in this area, and suspicious points are found and marked 10; the fourth quadrant of the right breast of the person to be examined is the inspection area 120, and an inspection area mark 1201 is provided around the inspection area 120; the second quadrant of the right breast has completed the palpation inspection operation, which is the completed inspection area 130, and the display state is a special grid. The second quadrant of the right breast and the first quadrant of the left breast contain the accessory breast area of ​​the person to be examined relative to other areas, so as to avoid missing the accessory breast area.

[0044] In order to further improve the efficiency of breast cancer screening, it is necessary to record the mark 10 so that ultrasound can quickly find suspicious points and complete the ultrasound examination operation. First, the terminal 2 of the control method includes a display module 21; when judging that there is a suspicious point state in the current breast examination area 110, the method also includes:

[0045] Step 203 , after obtaining the suspicious point status in the current breast examination area 110 using the probe 23 of the palpation device, the display module 21 is used to display and mark the accurate position of the suspicious point status corresponding to the current breast examination area 110 .

[0046] Step 2041, using the probe 22 of the ultrasound device and the mark 10 of the display module 21, quickly find the exact location of the suspicious point state, complete the corresponding breast ultrasound examination operation, and output the breast ultrasound examination status to the terminal, the examination status includes: lesion point status, non-lesion point status.

[0047] The probe 23 of the palpation device is provided with a first posture sensor and a camera. The above two components are used to determine the current breast examination area 110 of the probe 23 of the palpation device in the breast examination system at the chest position of the person to be examined. The steps include:

[0048] Step 241, collect the current posture information of the probe 23 of the palpation device through the first posture sensor, including vertical posture, horizontal posture, tilt posture, etc.

[0049] Step 251: collect image information of the chest position of the person to be inspected through the camera.

[0050] Step 201: Determine the current breast examination area 110 where the probe 23 of the palpation device is located on the chest of the person to be examined according to the posture information and the chest image information.

[0051] It should be understood that whether the probe 23 of the palpation device is in a vertical state is confirmed by the first posture sensor, which is also the basis for collecting the palpation signal. Combined with the image information of the chest position of the person to be examined collected by the camera, it is determined whether the current breast examination area 110 collected is the right breast and the left breast, and which quadrant area among the four quadrant examination areas it is.

[0052] In order to protect the probe 22 of the ultrasound device and avoid damage caused by prolonged power-on time, a second posture sensor is also provided on the probe 22 of the ultrasound device. When the probe 22 of the ultrasound device is used to perform a corresponding breast ultrasound examination operation on the current breast examination area 110 at the chest position of the person to be examined, the steps include:

[0053] Step 242, the second posture sensor collects the current posture information of the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device, and controls the working state of the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device, wherein the working state includes: no-load and non-no-load. When the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device is in a horizontal or vertical posture and an inclined posture, it does not need to emit ultrasonic waves, and it is no-load; in addition, when the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device is in a vertical posture, it is non-no-load.

[0054] Step 2210: If it is determined that the working state is no-load, a control instruction is sent to the control module of the ultrasound device, so that the control module freezes the probe 22 of the ultrasound device based on the control instruction.

[0055] Step 2220: If it is determined that the working state is not no-load, a control instruction is sent to the control module of the ultrasonic device, so that the control module sets the probe 22 of the ultrasonic device to the working mode based on the control instruction.
