Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of mixed reality, and in particular relates to an infant airway display system with an electronic ruler and an early warning function. Background Art Failure of airway management in infants and young children can lead to delayed treatment, airway damage, and even endanger the life of the child. Airway management in infants and young children is currently both a clinical focus and a technical difficulty for operators and managers. Infants and young children have a relatively small mouth opening, and the tongue occupies a large proportion of the oral cavity, making it difficult to expose the glottis; the epiglottis is at an acute angle to the glottis, the glottis opening is relatively high, and the subglottis is physiologically narrow. Improper operation during airway surgery can easily cause subglottic damage, which can easily form scars after damage; in addition, infants and young children have a short tolerance to hypoxia. If difficult endotracheal intubation is encountered in infants and young children, it must be as fast and gentle as possible while ensuring the success rate, which is very difficult to implement.
[0002] In the existing technology, a real-time image of the airway can be seen using a video laryngoscope, but the information provided by a single video laryngoscope is limited. Currently, there are also some solutions that use a video laryngoscope in conjunction with VR and MR technology. VR and MR technology can generate airway models based on medical DICOM data, but such methods can only obtain static data on key parts, and cannot obtain relative information on the depth of intubation and the physiological position of subglottic stenosis in children. For doctors performing tracheal intubation or airway surgery, these key parts can only be obtained based on experience. In some complex situations, the displayed data is not accurate enough, which will increase the risk of operation. Summary of the invention

Represents a linear transformation matrix for transforming the j-th key point data in the three-dimensional airway model Mapped to the value vector space, Represents a vector of values.
[0010] In particular, the data processing unit also includes a navigation function module, which is used to calculate the weighted matching score between the catheter trajectory point and the key point in the three-dimensional airway model by a weighted distance calculation method based on parameterized similarity, which is specifically implemented as follows:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] The present invention provides an infant airway display system with an electronic scale and an early warning function, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a visual laryngoscope for infants and young children, a mixed reality three-dimensional model generation unit, an augmented reality model generation unit, a data processing unit and AR glasses.
[0024] The infant-specific visual laryngoscope is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it is used to obtain a real-time endoscopic image of the airway of an infant and send the real-time endoscopic image to the data processing unit; The mixed reality 3D model generation unit is used to construct a mixed reality 3D model containing a complete anatomical structure based on the infant chest CT data. The mixed reality 3D model is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, The augmented reality model generation unit is used to separate the three-dimensional airway model from the mixed reality three-dimensional model; annotate the key airway data obtained by measuring the key points of the important anatomical structures in the airway into the three-dimensional airway model, generate an augmented reality model, and send the key airway data to the data processing unit; the augmented reality model includes the annotated key measurement data (such as glottis diameter, etc.), such as Figure 4 As shown, it is used to help determine the catheter model and insertion depth in advance. For children who need to place a bronchial occluder and implement single-lung ventilation and lung isolation, it helps determine the position of the bronchial occluder cuff and reduces the difficulty of lung isolation in infants and young children.
[0025] The data processing unit is used to fuse the key airway data and the real-time endoscopic image to generate key point location prompt information and dangerous operation warning information, and send them to the AR glasses; The method for obtaining the key airway data includes: obtaining airway CT data based on the chest CT data of infants and young children for 3D printing to obtain an airway entity model, and performing precise ruler measurement on the airway entity model to obtain the key airway data. The key points include the glottis, tracheal carina or lobe opening; the key data include the glottis diameter, the subglottic stenosis diameter, the distance from the glottis to the tracheal carina or the distance from the tracheal carina to the right upper lobe opening.
[0026] The data processing unit includes a glottis position prompt and dangerous operation warning module, which calculates the matching degree between the real-time airway image data sequence and the key point data sequence in the three-dimensional airway model through a self-attention mechanism, which is specifically implemented as follows:
[0027] in, Airway real-time image frame Key points in the three-dimensional airway model The matching weight of represents the i-th frame of image data in the airway real-time image data sequence, Represents the j-th key point data in the three-dimensional airway model; represents the linear transformation matrix of the query vector, which is used to map the input x to the space of the query vector, Q represents the query vector; The linear transformation matrix of the key vector, used to map the input y to the space of the key vector, represents the key vector, represents the dimension of the scaling factor, represents the index of the key point in the three-dimensional airway model, Represents the total number of key points in the 3D airway model.
[0028] The focus representation of the key points is calculated in combination with the matching weights and used for glottal position prompts and dangerous operation warnings, which is specifically implemented as follows:
[0029] in, Used to indicate the The focus display of key points of the real-time airway image data is used to indicate the glottis position and dangerous operation warning in real time. Represents a linear transformation matrix for transforming the j-th key point data in the three-dimensional airway model Mapped to the value vector space, Represents a vector of values.
[0030] The data processing unit also includes a navigation function module, which is used to calculate the weighted matching score between the catheter trajectory point and the key point in the three-dimensional airway model by a weighted distance calculation method based on parameterized similarity, which is specifically implemented as follows:
[0031] Where: p f represents the coordinate vector of the fth catheter trajectory point, y g represents the g-th key point in the three-dimensional airway model, ‖ represents the vector concatenation operation; W γ represents the learnable weight matrix and b γ represents the learnable bias vector, LeakyReLU is the leaky rectified linear unit activation function, γ fg represents the catheter trajectory point p f and the key point y in the three-dimensional airway model g The weighted matching score.
[0032] This formula calculates the matching weights between the catheter trajectory point and the key point. It first concatenates the two vectors, then performs an inner product with the weight matrix, and then passes through the LeakyReLU activation function and softmax normalization to obtain the matching weights. This form introduces additional learnable parameters Wγ and bγ, and uses LeakyReLU instead of simple scaling operations, allowing for modeling of more complex matching patterns.
[0033] The weighted distance between the catheter trajectory point and the key point is calculated in combination with the weighted matching score, which is specifically implemented as follows:
[0034] Among them, d f represents the weighted distance between the fth catheter trajectory point and all key points in the three-dimensional airway model, which is used to calculate the distance between the catheter and the glottis or other key positions during navigation; p f represents the coordinate vector of the fth catheter trajectory point, y g represents the coordinate vector of the g-th key point in the three-dimensional airway model, ||p f -y g || represents the fth catheter trajectory point p f The key point y of the three-dimensional airway model g The Euclidean distance between .
[0035] The navigation function module further dynamically adjusts the optimal path for catheter insertion through a path planning algorithm, specifically including the following steps: based on the weighted distance between the catheter trajectory point and the key point, using the shortest path search algorithm to plan the optimal insertion path from the current position to the key point; dynamically monitoring the movement of the catheter, updating the distance between the current position and each of the key points in real time, and re-planning the optimal path to minimize the risk in the insertion path.
[0036] The mixed reality three-dimensional model is a common model shared by infants of different weights or a personalized model established for the symptoms of a single infant.
[0037] The AR glasses are used to display the mixed reality three-dimensional model, the augmented reality model, and the real-time endoscopic image superimposed with the key point position prompts and dangerous operation warning information, for auxiliary diagnosis and surgical planning.
[0038] The role of AR glasses in this system is to integrate all visual information into an augmented reality view, including: real-time endoscopic images; mixed reality 3D models that display subglottic anatomical structures that cannot be seen with a laryngoscope; and augmented reality models that include annotated key measurement data (such as glottis diameter, etc.). Among them, glottis position prompts and dangerous operation warning information are superimposed on the real-time endoscopic images.
[0039] All the above visual information is integrated into an augmented reality view to provide doctors with multi-dimensional and multi-angle airway visualization data. When the system of the present invention is used, the real-time endoscopic image of the laryngoscope, the mixed reality 3D model and the augmented reality model schematic diagram are shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, using these visualized data can assist clinicians in making more accurate diagnoses and surgical plans: key measurement data helps to assess the condition and select the appropriate operation method, glottal position prompts can guide intubation operations and improve accuracy, dangerous operation warnings can detect risks in time and avoid medical accidents, and three-dimensional anatomical views help to fully grasp the overall situation of the airway.
