Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ultrasonic technology, and more specifically, to an ultrasonic remote diagnosis method, device, computer equipment and storage medium. Background Art
[0002] With the development of medical technology and the popularization of the Internet, telemedicine has gradually become an important means to solve the problem of uneven geographical distribution of medical resources. Ultrasound diagnosis, as a non-invasive, convenient and efficient medical imaging technology, is widely used in clinical medicine. However, existing ultrasound diagnosis often relies on on-site operation of equipment and professional technicians, which is a major challenge in remote areas and environments with scarce medical resources. Existing methods lack efficient remote transmission and diagnostic means, resulting in patients being unable to obtain accurate diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. To this end, it is indeed necessary to develop an ultrasound remote diagnosis method, device, computer equipment and storage medium. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic remote diagnosis method to overcome the defects of the prior art.
[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0005] An ultrasonic remote diagnosis method comprises the following steps:

[0007] S2, preprocessing the ultrasound image data to extract key diagnostic information;
[0008] S3, performing a search operation according to the key diagnostic information to obtain medical data related to the image;
[0009] S4. Generate a personalized diagnosis report based on the acquired medical data related to the image.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, an ultrasonic device is used to collect an ultrasonic image of the patient.
[0011] Furthermore, the step S2 specifically includes:
[0012] The pre-trained BERT model processes the text information in ultrasound image data to identify key pathological features or clinical indicators;
[0013] The training process of the BERT model is as follows: first, a set amount of text data related to the medical field is collected, and the text data includes medical papers and diagnostic reports; then, the text data is preprocessed including word segmentation and stop word removal; the processed text data is then input into the BERT model for training, and the performance of the model is optimized by adjusting the model parameters; finally, the trained BERT model is used to predict and analyze new ultrasound image data to extract key diagnostic information.
[0014] Furthermore, the step S3 specifically includes:
[0015] Use the pre-trained T5 model to perform relevant searches in the built-in medical knowledge base or database to find matching diagnosis cases, the latest research results, or similar disease descriptions.

The performance of the model is optimized by adjusting the model parameters. The difference is that the T5 model is more effective for a variety of tasks (such as text generation, text classification, etc.).
[0017] Furthermore, the step S4 specifically includes:
[0018] The acquired medical data related to the image is refined to obtain the most helpful information for the current diagnosis, including the patient's medical history, family history, living habits, ultrasound image characteristics and abnormal manifestations, and examination results, such as blood tests, X-rays, etc. Through comprehensive analysis and judgment of this information, a personalized diagnosis report containing comprehensive diagnostic opinions, treatment recommendations and medical information can be obtained.
[0019] A personalized diagnostic report containing comprehensive diagnostic opinions, treatment recommendations and related medical information is generated by combining the information obtained from the medical knowledge base, as well as the patient's complaints and symptoms related to the patient's specific situation, the patient's physical examination results, and the patient's other relevant examination results.
[0020] Furthermore, after step S4, the following steps are further included:

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of an embodiment of a computer device according to the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.
[0041] See also Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an ultrasonic remote diagnosis method, comprising the following steps:
[0042] Step S1: Acquire ultrasonic image data of a patient.
[0043] In this embodiment, after receiving the ultrasound diagnosis request initiated by the user, the ultrasound device collects ultrasound images of the patient and transmits them to the remote server through the network.
[0044] Step S2: preprocess the ultrasound image data to extract key diagnostic information.
[0045] In this embodiment, the data received by the remote server is sent to the artificial intelligence module through the forwarding module to process the image and extract important information. The key artificial intelligence (AI) model is based on the BERT-T5 deep learning framework. The framework combines two powerful deep learning models: BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer). These two models are respectively excellent in text understanding and generation, and can deeply analyze the descriptive information of medical images and make diagnostic recommendations.
[0046] The BERT model is used to understand the description information of ultrasound images or the annotation information attached to the images. The BERT model is a pre-trained deep learning model that uses a large amount of text data to learn the complex relationships between words, sentences, and contexts. In the remote diagnosis system of this embodiment, the BERT model can be used to understand and parse the descriptions related to ultrasound images and capture key medical indicators and features.
[0047] The training process of the BERT model is as follows: first, a large amount of text data related to the medical field is collected, such as medical papers, diagnostic reports, etc.; then, these text data are preprocessed, including word segmentation, stop word removal, etc.; next, the processed text data is input into the BERT model for training, and the performance of the model is optimized by adjusting the model parameters; finally, the trained BERT model is used to predict and analyze new ultrasound image data to extract key diagnostic information.
[0048] The T5 model is used to generate a personalized diagnosis report based on the information extracted by the BERT model. Specifically, the T5 model unifies different natural language processing tasks into a text-to-text framework and completes the task by converting the input text into the target text. In this embodiment, the extracted information from the BERT model is integrated and used to generate a diagnosis suggestion or report to assist the doctor.
[0049] Step S3: performing a search operation according to the key diagnostic information to obtain medical data related to the image.
[0050] In this embodiment, based on the key information extracted by the BERT model, the T5 model performs a related search in the built-in medical knowledge base or database through a search module to find matching diagnostic cases, the latest research results or similar disease descriptions. This information will serve as the basis for building a personalized diagnostic report to obtain image-related medical information and diagnostic recommendations.
[0051] The training process of the T5 model is similar to that of the BERT model. It is also based on a large amount of medical-related text data for training and preprocessing of the text data. The performance of the model is optimized by adjusting the model parameters. The difference is that the T5 model is more effective for a variety of tasks (such as text generation, text classification, etc.).
[0052] Step S4: Generate a personalized diagnosis report based on the acquired medical data related to the image.
[0053] In this embodiment, after obtaining the relevant medical data returned by the search, the T5 model organizes and analyzes the data to extract the most helpful information for the current diagnosis, such as the patient's medical history, family history, living habits, etc. In addition, there are also characteristics and abnormal manifestations of ultrasound images, and other related examination results, such as blood tests, X-rays, etc. Through comprehensive analysis and judgment of this information, a personalized diagnosis report containing comprehensive diagnostic opinions, treatment recommendations and medical information can be obtained.
[0054] Combining information obtained from the medical knowledge base and information related to the patient's specific situation (obtained through pictures and other descriptions), such as the patient's chief complaint and symptoms, the patient's physical examination results, and the patient's other relevant examination results, the T5 model generates a personalized diagnostic report containing comprehensive diagnostic opinions, treatment recommendations, and related medical information. After the report is generated, the telemedicine platform can provide an interface for remote doctors to review and modify it. Doctors can adjust the report content based on their own experience and expertise to ensure its accuracy and applicability.
[0055] The diagnosis report reviewed and improved by the doctor is then fed back to the on-site operator through the network platform, and finally handed over to the patient or on-site medical staff for review. The personalized diagnosis report is sent to the remote doctor, who generates the final diagnosis opinion based on his or her own professional knowledge and returns it to the on-site operator through the network.
[0056] By combining ultrasonic diagnostic equipment with a telemedicine platform and artificial intelligence, the present invention not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis, but also can provide timely medical services in an environment with scarce medical resources, thereby improving patient satisfaction and treatment effects.
