[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Millimeter wave therapy device is a medical device that uses millimeter wave band electromagnetic waves for non-invasive treatment. It emits millimeter waves of specific frequency, penetrates deep into human tissues, resonates with biological molecules, and thus promotes blood circulation, accelerates metabolism, improves cell vitality, and achieves anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and tissue repair effects. Millimeter wave therapy devices are widely used in the following fields: Pain treatment: used to relieve pain symptoms such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar pain, and arthritis. Sports injury rehabilitation: promotes the recovery of sports injuries such as muscle strains and ligament injuries. Skin disease treatment: has a therapeutic effect on skin diseases such as dermatitis and eczema. Auxiliary treatment of chronic diseases: used for the auxiliary treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetic complications, prostate diseases, and bone and joint diseases.

[0021] In one embodiment, during the inflammation process, local tissues may undergo changes such as congestion and edema, which are often accompanied by an increase in local temperature. Therefore, for certain types of skin diseases (such as infectious skin diseases, allergic dermatitis, etc.), an increase in the temperature of the affected area may indicate that the inflammation is more serious. Therefore, the severity of the affected area of ​​the patient can be known through the temperature value of the affected area.

[0022] S101: Collect a back image of the patient to obtain a diseased area.

[0023] In one embodiment, the back image of the patient can be captured by some photographing equipment, for example, by a medical camera or an X-ray machine. The back image is preprocessed to obtain a second image, wherein the preprocessing includes denoising the back image or adjusting the contrast. For denoising, the noise in the back image can be removed by using algorithms such as Gaussian filtering and median filtering to improve the quality of the back image. For adjusting the contrast, the contrast of the back image can be enhanced by methods such as histogram equalization, so that the characteristics of allergic dermatitis or psoriasis are more obvious, and it is also convenient for the subsequent segmentation of the back image.

[0024] In one embodiment, when segmenting the patient's back image, a threshold segmentation method may be used to segment the back image to obtain the diseased area. In other embodiments, when segmenting the patient's back image, an edge-based segmentation method may be used to segment the back image to obtain the diseased area, such as the Canny algorithm, the Sobel algorithm, etc. These algorithms can detect edge points in the image and segment the image into different areas based on the edge points to obtain the diseased area.

[0025] S102: Calculate the final treatment time according to the patient area.

[0026] In one embodiment, for any patient area, the benchmark treatment time is corrected according to the area of ​​the patient area and the temperature value of the patient area to obtain a final treatment time, wherein the benchmark treatment time is the average of the historical treatment time of the patient.

[0027] In one embodiment, the calculation formula of the benchmark treatment time is: ; In the formula, The baseline treatment time is For patients The duration of treatment, The total number of times the patient was treated.

[0028] In one embodiment, the reference treatment time is corrected according to the area of ​​the patient area and the temperature value of the patient area to obtain the final treatment time. The correction formula is: ; In the formula, For the The final treatment time is the time when the diseased area is located. is the number of pixels in the patient area, is the temperature value of the patient area, The baseline treatment time.

[0029] The more pixels there are, the larger the diseased area is, indicating that the more serious the patient's disease is, the longer the final treatment time should be. For the temperature value of the diseased area, the higher the temperature value of the diseased area is, the more serious the inflammation of the diseased area is, and the longer the final treatment time should be.

[0030] S103: Treating the patient's affected area according to the final treatment time.

[0031] In one embodiment, after calculating the final treatment time of each patient area, each patient area is irradiated and treated by the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device according to the final treatment time. When the treatment of the area is completed, the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device is moved to the next patient area, and then the patient area is irradiated and treated according to the final treatment time of the next patient area until all the patient areas on the patient are treated.

[0032] In one embodiment, the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device is moved to the next patient area, wherein the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device can be moved manually, for example, the medical staff pulls the treatment head to move the patient area. In other embodiments, the mechanical arm on the millimeter wave therapy device can be automatically controlled by image recognition technology, and the mechanical arm drives the treatment head to move to the patient area.

[0033] For example, if three diseased areas are detected on the patient's back, the three diseased areas are diseased area A, diseased area B, and diseased area C, and the final treatment time of diseased area A is The final treatment time of the diseased area B is The final treatment time of the diseased area C is During treatment, first move the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device to the diseased area A so that the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device can irradiate the diseased area A, then start the millimeter wave therapy device, and use the treatment head of the millimeter wave therapy device to irradiate the diseased area A. When the irradiation treatment time for the diseased area A reaches the final treatment time When the treatment time is The diseased area B is irradiated until all diseased areas are treated.

[0034] In one embodiment, an alarm may also be provided on the millimeter wave therapy device. For any diseased area, when the irradiation time of the treatment head on the millimeter wave therapy device on the diseased area reaches the corresponding final treatment time, an alarm signal may be sent out through the alarm device to remind medical staff to treat other diseased areas.

[0035] Through the above steps, the reference treatment time is corrected according to the area of ​​the patient area and the temperature value of the patient area to obtain the final treatment time. Thus, the treatment time is automatically corrected according to the severity of the patient's patient area, which can improve the treatment effect and treatment efficiency for the patient.

[0036] The present invention also provides a method and system for treating a millimeter wave therapeutic apparatus based on image processing. Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores computer program instructions. When the computer program instructions are executed by the processor, a treatment method and system of a millimeter wave therapy device based on image processing according to the first aspect of the present invention are implemented.
