Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] At present, the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are high, which has caused great burden to people's health and the world's medical system. For most cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, vascular intervention surgery (VIS) is an important treatment method, which usually reaches the lesion through the blood vessels by using instruments such as guide wires and catheters with the help of medical imaging equipment. However, the traditional medical guide wire and catheter cannot realize autonomous propulsion and path selection function, but rely on the manual operation of the surgeon in the body. Therefore, VIS has high requirements for the relevant experience and technology of the doctor. On the other hand, the surgery must be performed under X-ray, and the longer the surgery time, the greater the damage to the health of the doctors and patients involved in the surgery.

[0003] In view of the above problems, researchers have begun to consider combining micro robots and their control technology to complete the directional delivery of guide wires, stents or drugs in the human body. However, most of the existing vascular intervention robots use master-slave control, still need the doctor to manually control the catheter or guide wire, and can only realize the simple guide wire and catheter propulsion and rotation action, and cannot realize autonomous steering, and still lack flexibility and controllability at the complex blood vessel bifurcation. In the medical field, especially in the field of in-vivo intervention treatment, the application potential of cordless driven micro robots is very huge, among which, magnetic driving has the characteristics of remote driving, precise control, miniaturization, biocompatibility and multi-modal control, and has become one of the preferred driving methods of medical robots. At present, scholars have developed magnetic driven micro robots that can be applied to intestinal targeted drug delivery, vascular targeted treatment and minimally invasive surgery, and have verified their feasibility.

The driving wheel 4 and the driven wheel 5 are clamped on both sides of the medical catheter 1, and the driving wheel 4 is connected to the worm gear 10.

Subsequently, the position of the guide wire tip and the node position in the path are identified by the camera. In the process of maintaining uniform advancement of the guide wire 2, when the camera identifies that the guide wire approaches the turning node in the path, the mechanical arm is controlled to guide the direction of the guide wire tip, so that the guide wire advances according to the correct path specified in advance. After the guide wire passes through the node, the position of the guide wire tip is identified by the camera, and it can be judged whether the guide wire is advancing on the correct path. If it is found that the guide wire is not on the correct path, the guide wire is controlled to retreat to the front of the last node, and the node is passed through again.

[0107] Specifically, the present application provides a method for visual recognition and separation of vascular path, comprising: introducing the predictor module and model registry of SAM (Segment Anything with Memory): the SAM predictor module provides classes and functions for loading, configuring and using SAM models, and in the model registry, users can find and load corresponding pre-trained models according to specified model types or names; determining the target marker point, calling the predict method to predict the input image: using the loaded model to segment or other related tasks on the input image to obtain the required output result; the model selection obtains the mask with the highest score in the prediction result and its corresponding score and visualizes it. In order to realize accurate control, a path with a width of only one or a few pixels is provided for the system, and a skeletonization function skeletonize is introduced. The function can reduce the pixels of each object (such as blood vessels, text or other connected regions) in the original binary image to the center line by gradually refining the image, while maintaining the topological structure of the object. The final "skeleton" is a single-pixel-wide line network.

[0108] Specifically, the application also provides a method for visually identifying and predicting the position of a hard-magnetic flexible guide wire tip in a blood vessel, comprising: color marking the guide wire tip, obtaining an original two-dimensional image required for blood vessel intervention; converting the collected original image from a BGR color space to an HSV color space, extracting a target color region contour, fitting a minimum circumscribed rectangle to the contour, and extracting the center coordinates of the minimum circumscribed rectangle; establishing a machine learning model based on a convolutional neural network for pose prediction of the occluded guide wire tip, and performing model training, including: normalizing and data enhancing the pictures containing the features of the hard-magnetic flexible guide wire tip, and identifying the position of the tip to obtain the center coordinates of the tip as a feature label; training the position recognition ability under the occlusion condition; dividing the data set into a training set (85%) and a validation set (15%), using a mean squared error (MSE) as a loss function, and optimizing the model parameters through an Adam optimizer.

[0109] Specifically, the application also provides a hard-magnetic flexible guide wire motion strategy based on nodes, including: the nodes are large curvature turns in the blood vessel, and the specific curvature threshold is determined according to the extracted blood vessel path quality. For each effective node, the actions required to be completed by each device are consistent, and a large loop is entered to traverse each effective node. In each loop, the system records the positions of the current effective node, the previous node and the next node. The vector formed from the current node to the guide wire tip position is A, the vector formed from the current node to the next node is B, and the vector formed from the current node to the previous node is C. These vectors can be used to determine whether the guide wire has reached the target node and whether it has entered the wrong path. After confirming the target position of the mechanical arm and the target deflection angle of the permanent magnet, the mechanical arm and the permanent magnet start moving towards the target position, and the guide wire starts advancing at the same time. In this process, the camera continuously acquires a photo stream, and when the length of vector A is less than the minimum reaching distance (flexibly set according to requirements, generally 1mm), it is considered that the guide wire has reached the target node. At this time, it is judged whether the mechanical arm has reached the target position, if not, the guide wire waits in place until the mechanical arm reaches the corresponding position. After the mechanical arm reaches the position, the guide wire continues to advance, and the camera continues to acquire a photo stream. When the length of vector A is greater than the minimum judgment distance (flexibly set according to requirements, generally 2mm), if the angle between vector A and vector B is less than the error allowed range (flexibly set according to requirements, generally 15°), it is considered that the guide wire has entered the correct path, otherwise it is considered that the guide wire has entered the wrong path, at which time the guide wire needs to be withdrawn until the length of vector A is less than the minimum reaching distance. After the computer analyzes the positional relationship between the wrong path and the correct path, the permanent magnet is deflected by one rotation unit (generally 1°) in the direction of the original wrong path, and the guide wire is controlled to advance again until the guide wire enters the correct path, completing a cycle. Until the guide wire reaches the end point, the program ends.
