[0059] It can be understood that in some other possible embodiments, the rear crawler track 11 and the lateral crawler track 12 can be replaced by a rear guide rail and a lateral guide rail.

[0060] Furthermore, the intelligent cold cathode imaging device further includes a lifting platform 41 and a base 5 . The bottom end of the lifting platform 41 is mounted on the base 5 , and the top end is detachably connected to the installation box 3 .

[0061] Furthermore, a horizontally arranged electric guide rail 33 is provided at the top of the lifting platform 41, and a slider is fixedly provided at the bottom of the installation box 3. The slider is detachably connected to the electric guide rail 33 to realize the detachable connection between the lifting platform 41 and the installation box 3; when the electric guide rail 33 pushes the slider to move, it drives the C-arm 1 to move horizontally.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the intelligent cold cathode imaging device described in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1In the coordinate system, the central axis of the C-arm 1 in its initial position is parallel to the x-axis and arranged horizontally. The center point of the C-arm 1 is the center of the arc on which the C-arm is located. A beam splitter 14 is located at the top of the inner wall of the C-arm 1, and a digital imaging plate 15 is located at the bottom of the inner wall of the C-arm 1. The beam splitter 14 and the digital imaging plate 15 are arranged symmetrically along the z-axis, resulting in symmetry between the upper and lower halves of the C-arm 1. An angle detection port 13 is provided on the inner wall at the symmetric location. An angle detection port 13 houses a laser level, making it easier for medical personnel to accurately position the C-arm 1. A guide box 21 is fixedly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the C-arm 1 corresponding to the horizontal direction of the angle detection port 13. The guide box 21 is provided with the guide member.

A steering member 22 is provided on one side of the guide box 21, and a mounting box 3 is provided on one side of the steering member 22. A steering motor 31 is provided in the mounting box 3 at a position close to the C-arm 1, and a drive motor 32 is provided at a position away from the C-arm 1, which meets the need for greater torque when the C-arm 1 is flipped.

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the assembly process of the intelligent cold cathode imaging device described in this embodiment is: the shell 42, the electric guide rail 33 and the lifting platform 41 are integrated and fixed on the mounting plate 52, the frame 43 is installed, and the electric guide rail 33 at the top of the lifting platform 41 is installed with the mounting plate 52, and the mounting box 52 is integrated with the steering member 22, the guide member box 21, and the C-arm 1.

[0064] In this embodiment, the C-arm 1 equipped with a beam splitter 14 and a digital imaging plate 15 rotates around its central axis and flips around its center point, thereby achieving multi-angle X-ray imaging with a simple and reliable structure; the flexible movement of the C-arm 1 is achieved through the tracks, lifting platform 41 and electric guide rails 33, and the intelligent cold cathode imaging device is easy to assemble and maintain, and is suitable for the environment of a field hospital.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, proposes an intelligent cold cathode imaging device, which has a deep learning module based on the attention mechanism, and the deep learning module can generate a two-dimensional annotated image and a three-dimensional annotated image of the target bone.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the multi-angle imaging at least includes: when the steering mechanism outputs a first flip angle, the drive motor 32 outputs a first rotation angle and the digital imaging board 15 acquires a first image, the drive motor 32 outputs the first rotation angle and the digital imaging board 15 acquires a second image, and when the steering mechanism outputs a second flip angle, the drive motor 32 outputs the first rotation angle and the digital imaging board 15 acquires a third image, the drive motor 32 outputs the second rotation angle and the digital imaging board 15 acquires a fourth image;

[0068] The main controller uses the neural network feature extraction mechanism to process the first to fourth images to generate feature vectors 1 to 4 of the target bone respectively;

[0069] The main controller processes the feature vectors 1 to 4 through the attention mechanism to enhance the associated features of the target skeleton;

[0070] The main controller uses a three-dimensional convolution mechanism to deeply fuse feature vectors one to four according to the associated features, generates a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image that reasonably connect the target bones in the first imaging to the fourth imaging, and annotates the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image according to the associated features to generate the two-dimensional annotated image and the three-dimensional annotated image.

[0071] Furthermore, the attention mechanism includes a compression network and an excitation network that process eigenvectors one to four in sequence; the main controller receives sample data of damaged human bones and trains the neural network feature extraction mechanism, the excitation network and the three-dimensional convolution mechanism based on the sample data.

[0072] Furthermore, multiple groups of compression networks and excitation networks constitute multiple channels of the attention mechanism; the main controller processes the feature vectors one to four respectively through each group of compression networks and excitation networks to enhance different associated features of the target skeleton.

[0073] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multiple channels of the attention mechanism are parallel channels.

[0074] Furthermore, in the three-dimensional convolution mechanism, the main controller performs feature splicing on the feature vectors one to four processed by the attention mechanism to generate splicing features and the two-dimensional image, and performs three-dimensional convolution on the splicing features to generate multi-view features and the three-dimensional image.

[0075] Furthermore, the deep learning module also includes a feature labeling mechanism, which includes at least a pooling layer, a fully connected layer and an activation function; the main controller passes the multi-view features and the features into the pooling layer, the fully connected layer and the activation function in sequence to generate a two-dimensional labeled image and a three-dimensional labeled image of the labeled target skeleton.

[0076] Specifically, the activation function is a Sigmoid (threshold function) layer.

[0077] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown in the figure, the attention mechanism of the deep learning module described in this embodiment includes compression and excitation. The excitation part calculates a weight value for each channel in the corresponding feature map based on feature vectors one to four obtained during the compression process, normalizes the weight value through the Sigmoid function to obtain a weight vector, and multiplies all elements in the weight vector by the corresponding channel of the input feature.

[0078] Specifically, the attention mechanism and the three-dimensional convolution mechanism adopt an early fusion strategy to deeply fuse visual features from different perspectives at an earlier stage, and can maintain semantic consistency between visual features from different perspectives, which is more conducive to downstream tasks.

[0079] The attention mechanism is CAM (Channel Attention Module), which uses channel attention to enhance key information between multi-view features and suppress information with low task relevance. The three-dimensional convolution mechanism is the 3D-CM module, which uses three-dimensional convolution to deeply fuse multi-view features. Three-dimensional convolution can establish connections between visual features from different viewpoints, thereby learning the spatial structure and detail information contained in multi-view images. It is far better at extracting spatial structural features than two-dimensional convolution.

[0080] Specifically, in Figure 2In the method, the neural network feature extraction mechanism is a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network, channel attention) network, which extracts local visual features of all multi-view images through the CNN network, and then inputs these features into the multi-view feature fusion module for deep fusion to obtain multi-view features. The multi-view features contain complete and semantically consistent visual information, which can be used for processing downstream tasks. In order to verify the information extraction capability of the model, the downstream task here is classification and annotation. After the average pooling layer, the multi-view features are compressed into a one-dimensional feature vector of length C, and then the feature vector is sent to the fully connected layer and the Sigmoid layer to realize classification and annotation. Finally, the results of the classification and annotation task are used to generate two-dimensional annotated images and three-dimensional annotated images.

[0081] It should be noted that this embodiment preferably uses CNN as the backbone network of the deep learning module, that is, CNN is preferably used as the neural network feature extraction mechanism, and other types of neural networks, such as RNN neural network, may also be used.

[0082] In this embodiment, multi-angle imaging is processed through deep learning based on the attention mechanism to form three-dimensional images and two-dimensional images with labeled medical features, which greatly assists doctors in observing and diagnosing injured parts, and achieves more efficient treatment of patients when medical staff in field hospitals are limited; through the multi-channel attention mechanism, compared with using only neural networks, the consistency of the extracted target human skeleton features is further guaranteed.

[0083] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0084] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
