Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical image processing, and more specifically, to a prostate intervention guidance method, system, storage medium and electronic device based on PSMA PET, MRI and TRUS multi-modal fusion. Background Art
[0002] Medical image registration and fusion is a commonly used technology in medical image analysis. It converts the coordinates of one set of image sequences into another set of image sequences so that the corresponding positions match and obtain a registered and fused image sequence.
[0003] At present, the precise diagnosis and treatment of prostate diseases faces the great challenge of multimodal medical imaging fusion. Different imaging methods such as MRI, CT and PSMA PET have their own advantages. Among them, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, multi-parameter nuclear magnetic resonance) is considered to be the standard traditional imaging method for prostate cancer diagnosis at this stage due to its high sensitivity and specificity; PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen) is expressed much more transmembrane in prostate epithelial cells than in other tumor cells and normal tissues, so it has been developed as a good target for molecular imaging of prostate cancer; at the same time, PSMA PET / CT has gradually become a new clinical diagnostic imaging basis for prostate cancer.
[0004] However, a single modality cannot fully reflect the anatomical structure and functional status of the prostate. The current limitation of interventional surgery guided by fusion of MRI and TRUS is that the sensitivity of MRI to prostate cancer is lower than that of PSMA PET, while interventional surgery guided by fusion of PSMA PET and TRUS cannot utilize the high-resolution display of the prostate anatomical structure by MRI.
[0005] Therefore, how to accurately align and fuse these preoperative static images with intraoperative real-time ultrasound TRUS images is a complex technical problem.
[0006] In addition, the deformation and displacement of the prostate during surgery also make real-time registration difficult. If the precise fusion of multimodal images cannot be achieved, the accuracy of puncture biopsy and the precision of local treatment will be seriously affected.
[0007] Therefore, how to overcome the heterogeneity between medical images of different modalities, achieve real-time and accurate registration of preoperative MRI / PET and intraoperative TRUS, and organically integrate multimodal image information to guide clinical operations is a key technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of real-time and accurate registration of preoperative MRI / PET and intraoperative TRUS, and to propose a prostate intervention guidance method, system, storage medium and electronic device based on multimodal fusion of PSMA PET, MRI and TRUS.

[0023] Furthermore, in the MRI-PSMA PET fusion image, the PSMA PET image is superimposed and displayed on the MRI image in a pseudo-color manner.
[0024] Furthermore, in S3, the point cloud registration includes:
[0025] Acquiring a TRUS image sequence acquired by scanning from the base to the tip of the prostate with an ultrasound probe, wherein the ultrasound probe is equipped with an electromagnetic sensor to extract the electromagnetic spatial coordinates of each point in the image;
[0026] Segment the TRUS image to extract the prostate contour point set;
[0027] Segment the MRI image to extract the prostate contour point set;
[0028] By minimizing the distance between the prostate contour point sets of the MRI image and the TRUS image, the optimal rotation and translation matrix is solved and the electromagnetic coordinate system of the TRUS image is transformed into the MRI image coordinate system.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a prostate intervention guidance method based on PSMA PET, MRI and TRUS multi-modality fusion, comprising:
[0054] S1. Obtain preoperative MRI images and PSMA PET / CT images, and annotate prostate lesions on MRI or PSMA PET images. The relevant terms are explained as follows:
[0055] PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen) is a prostate-specific membrane antigen. The transmembrane expression of PSMA in prostate epithelial cells is much higher than that in other tumor cells and normal tissues. Therefore, it has been developed as a good target for molecular imaging of prostate cancer.
[0056] PET (Positron Emission Tomography) positron emission tomography;
[0057] CT (Computed Tomography) computed tomography;
[0058] PET / CT, positron emission tomography, integrates PET and CT on one device. One imaging can simultaneously obtain CT anatomical images and PET functional metabolic images, and the two images have the same coordinate system.
[0059] PSMA PET / CT uses PET / CT to observe changes in PSMA to locate, schedule, and quantify prostate cancer.
[0060] S2, using the MRI image as the main coordinate system, and registering the PSMA PET image to the coordinate system corresponding to the MRI image through a registration method based on a combination of image features and organ contours, to obtain an MRI-PSMA PET fusion image;
[0061] On the one hand, since PSMA PET and CT are imaged in the same coordinate system, MRI is used as the main image and the main data image in the subsequent images. Images of other modalities are mapped to the coordinate space of MRI, and the conversion matrix from CT to MRI is obtained. This conversion matrix is applied to the PSMA PET image, and the registration of MRI and PSMA PET can be completed (CT only plays the role of registration).
[0062] On the other hand, since both MRI and CT contain the same anatomical structure, the present invention proposes a registration algorithm based on the combination of image features and organ contours by using the segmentation results of the prostate contours on MRI20 and CT and combining the similarity of image structures across modalities, including:
[0063] Using pre-trained deep image segmentation networks, such as UNet, the prostate contours on MRI images and CT images are obtained respectively;

[0067] Based on the consistency of the imaging coordinates of the PSMA PET image and the CT image, the CT image and the PSMA PET image are mapped to the coordinate system corresponding to the MRI image through the optimal transfer matrix, the PSMA PET is displayed in pseudo color, and then fused with the MRI, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of obtaining an MRI-PSMA PET fusion image by registering PSMA PET with MRI; wherein a represents an MRI image, b represents the registered PSMA PET image, and c represents the MRI-PSMA PET fusion image;
[0068] S3.

[0069] Acquiring a TRUS image sequence acquired by scanning from the base to the tip of the prostate with an ultrasound probe, wherein the ultrasound probe is equipped with an electromagnetic sensor to extract the electromagnetic spatial coordinates of each point in the image;
[0070] Segment TRUS images to extract prostate contour point sets , ,in Contains TRUS electromagnetic space coordinates; Indicates the number of the prostate contour point in the TRUS image. It represents the total number of prostate contour points in TRUS images;
[0071] Segment MRI images to extract prostate contour point sets , ,in Contains MRI space coordinates; Indicates the number of the prostate contour points in the MRI image. Represents the total number of prostate contour points in MRI images;
[0072] By minimizing the distance between the prostate contour point sets of the MRI image and the TRUS image, the following formula is used to solve the optimal rotation and translation matrix so that the prostate contour on TRUS matches the prostate contour on MRI as much as possible:
[0073]
[0074] in: and Respectively represent the rotation matrix and translation vector in space;
[0075] By minimizing the distance between the prostate contour point sets of the MRI image and the TRUS image, the optimal rotation and translation matrix is solved. ;
[0076] By optimal rotation and translation matrix By mapping the electromagnetic coordinate system where TRUS is located to the MRI coordinate system, a fusion image of MRI, PSMA PET and TRUS can be formed, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0077] Specifically, in the MRI-PSMA PET-TRUS fusion image, the TRUS image provides real-time anatomical data information, the MRI image provides anatomical structure and lesion information, and the PSMA PET image provides prostate cancer targeting information.
[0078] Based on this, the lesions can be marked on MRI or PSMA PET images, confirmed again after image fusion, and then mapped onto ultrasound images to improve the accuracy and efficiency of interventional surgery guidance (puncture biopsy, focal treatment, etc.).
[0079] Specifically, the prostate interventional surgery includes prostate puncture biopsy and prostate local lesion treatment, and the biopsy needle or treatment needle is guided to the lesion area according to the lesion information in the fused image.
[0080] In this embodiment, the multimodal image features are combined to increase the reliability of the image lesion area, which has a positive effect on improving the accuracy of interventional surgeries, such as puncture biopsy of prostate cancer and focal treatment of prostate cancer, and can effectively reduce unnecessary damage.
[0081] Specifically, the deep image segmentation network adopts a UNet structure and is trained with manually annotated prostate contour data to segment the prostate contour in MRI images, CT images, and TRUS images.
