Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0023] Embodiment 1 See also Figure 1 , shown is a method for determining ablation parameters of high-frequency pulse electric field ablation in the first embodiment of the present invention, the method includes steps S10 to S13.
[0024] Step S10, acquiring collected medical image data containing depth information, and determining a corresponding lesion box containing three-dimensional information of the lesion according to the medical image data.
[0025] Among them, the medical image data can be CT image data, which is data collected by the CT device in the DICOM format. This format is the native data output by the CT device, which contains a grayscale image and a corresponding depth value. The medical image data contains information on the range and type of lesions, and the corresponding lesion box containing three-dimensional information of the lesion can be obtained by analyzing the medical image data.
[0026] Specifically, the medical image data is input into a pre-trained lesion localization model to obtain a corresponding lesion box containing three-dimensional information of the lesion, wherein the medical image data containing depth information and pictures obtained by CT scanning is input into the lesion localization model, and the model can derive a specific lesion box containing three-dimensional information of the lesion.
[0027] Exemplarily, a preset number of historical medical image data are collected, and each historical medical image data corresponds to a preset frame to frame the lesion range and mark the lesion type to obtain a training data set. For example, 8,000 CT imaging data are sorted, and each CT data corresponds to a frame to frame the lesion range and lesion type information. The frame is a three-dimensional cube and the corresponding lesion type. The CT data, the 8 vertex coordinates of the three-dimensional cube, and the lesion type are taken as a set of data, and 30,000 sets of data are used as training data sets and input into the preset neural network for training using an AI training server. Until the training stop conditions are met, such as the model parameters tend to be stable or the preset number of training times is reached.
[0028] Furthermore, the training set, validation set and test set can be divided into preset proportions of 80%, 15% and 5% for training, validation and testing respectively. The preset neural network can use YOLO, specifically, YOLOv8. The trained model has mastered the inherent logic of using CT data to locate lesions. Therefore, the input CT data can output data containing 8 coordinates of a three-dimensional cube and the type of lesion. Among them, the three-dimensional cube composed of 8 coordinates is the lesion box. The lesion box contains the length, width and depth information of the lesion.
[0029] In addition, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, in order to further obtain more accurate lesion box data, after obtaining the above-mentioned three-dimensional cube, the cube can be subjected to intersection and union operations to filter out repeated data in the range and obtain the final lesion box as output data.
[0030] Step S11, analyzing and segmenting the lesion box to obtain the contour and depth of the lesion and the contour of the electrode used to ablate the lesion.
[0031] Among them, in order to determine the ablation parameters during ablation discharge, it is necessary to obtain the contour and depth data of the corresponding lesion, so that the corresponding ablation parameters can be accurately set according to the contour and depth data of the lesion, and the contour of the electrode used to ablate the lesion (hereinafter collectively referred to as "electrode contour") can be obtained. The position information of the electrode can also be determined according to the electrode contour, that is, the appropriate ablation position can be determined, so that the above information can be displayed on the display screen of the ablation device. The operator of the device can confirm the insertion of the catheter integrated with the electrode into the specified position according to the electrode contour and position information. In specific implementation, it can also be implemented in conjunction with the position sensor on the catheter. The reason is that the catheter cannot actually move in a straight line. The sensor can accurately determine whether it touches other tissues, thereby adjusting the position of the catheter on the insertion path in real time until the catheter moves to the correct position.
[0032] Specifically, a lesion segmentation model can be used to output the corresponding lesion contour and depth and electrode contour according to the input lesion box, wherein UNET is selected as the neural network for training the lesion segmentation model, which is mainly used to mark the lesion contour, and the training data set is obtained using the historical lesion box and the corresponding lesion contour and depth, electrode contour. For example, the lesion box data can be obtained, the lesion contour and electrode contour in the lesion box can be calibrated, and the lesion box and the corresponding data after the annotated lesion contour and electrode contour are composed of the training data set. The training set, validation set and test set can be divided into preset ratios of 80%, 15% and 5%, which are used for training, validation and testing respectively. The lesion segmentation model has mastered the internal logic of the segmentation of the lesion contour and the electrode contour, so that the lesion box is input into the lesion segmentation model for reasoning, which can analyze the potential data of the length, width and depth of the lesion contained in the lesion box, so as to obtain the required lesion contour and depth and electrode contour.
[0033] Step S12, starting from a plurality of equally spaced points on the boundary of the electrode outline, respectively emitting a preset number of rays to the surroundings, obtaining the number of intersections between the rays and the lesion box to determine whether the electrode fits the lesion.
[0034] Among them, after determining the two major factors affecting the ablation parameters, namely the lesion contour and the electrode contour, it is necessary to detect the degree of fit between the electrode and the lesion, so as to ensure that pulse ablation is performed when the electrode and the lesion are in fit. Specifically, in this embodiment, a collision algorithm is used to determine whether the electrode and the lesion are in fit. In the specific implementation, a plurality of equally spaced points on the boundary of the electrode contour are used as starting points, and a preset number of rays are emitted to the surrounding areas. For example, 50 points are selected and 50 rays are emitted. When the number of intersections between the rays and the lesion box (i.e., the number of collisions) is an even number, it is determined that the electrode and the lesion are not in fit; when the number of intersections between the rays and the lesion box is an odd number, it is determined that the electrode and the lesion are in fit. Step S13, when the electrode is in contact with the lesion, corresponding ablation parameters are determined according to the contour and depth of the lesion, wherein the ablation parameters include pulse voltage, pulse width, number of pulse trains, and number of discharges.
[0035] Among them, after the contour (such as length) and depth information of the lesion are known, the corresponding ablation parameters can be accurately determined according to the contour and depth information of the lesion. Specifically, the ablation parameters include pulse voltage, pulse width, number of pulse trains and number of discharges. These parameters can be pushed to the operator of the ablation device, such as a doctor, so that the doctor can operate the ablation device according to these parameters. In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the type of lesion can also be determined based on the analysis of medical image data. After the type of lesion is determined, electrode catheters of different types or functions can be selected to adapt to the current ablation operation.
[0036] Specifically, a model is trained by means of model training, which can determine the corresponding ablation parameters according to the contour and depth of the lesion, wherein animals can be used to collect training data sets. For example, when mice or pigs are used as research subjects, the rectum of mice or the gallbladder, pancreas, liver and digestive tract of pigs can be selected as test subjects. For example, discharge ablation tests are performed on mice, and the corresponding ablation parameters and ablation effects are recorded. The ablation effect can be evaluated by comparing the difference between the ablation length and ablation depth after the current ablation and the ablation length and ablation depth after the previous ablation. That is, when the difference between the two is within the corresponding preset range at the same time, it can be judged that the expected ablation effect is achieved. The ablation length and ablation depth in are the length and depth of the lesion after ablation, and the ablation length and ablation depth during the first ablation are the initial length and initial depth of the lesion. The ablation parameters and the corresponding ablation length and ablation depth form a training data set and are input into the naive Bayesian network for training to obtain the first ablation parameter determination model. It should be noted that in actual training, the ablation parameters, ablation depth and ablation length form a training data set, and the ablation length and ablation depth are determined by the ablation parameters. However, in actual prediction, it is necessary to determine the ablation parameters through the contour and depth information of the lesion, namely the ablation length and ablation depth, so the naive Bayesian network is used. The naive Bayesian network can adjust the optimal relationship between the ablation length and ablation depth of the discharge ablation and the ablation parameters through multiple training based on the Bayesian probability formula, so that the corresponding ablation parameters can be accurately output under the premise of the known ablation length and ablation depth of the lesion.
[0037] More specifically, the mathematical expression of the Bayesian formula is: ; in, P(A|B) Indicates in the event B Events under the conditions A The probability of occurrence, P(B|A) Indicates in the event A Events under the conditions B The probability of occurrence, P(A) It is an event A The prior probability of independent occurrence, P(B) It is an event B The edge probability of occurrence, event A = {pulse voltage, pulse width, number of pulse trains, number of discharges}, event B ={ablation length, ablation depth}.
[0038] In summary, the method for determining ablation parameters of high-frequency pulse electric field ablation in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention can determine the lesion box containing three-dimensional information of the lesion by acquiring medical image data, so that the contour and depth of the lesion and the electrode contour can be determined according to the potential information about the length, width and depth of the lesion inside the lesion box, so as to use the contour and depth of the lesion to determine the determination of the ablation parameters each time, and can accurately provide corresponding ablation parameters when facing different lesions. The problem of inaccuracy in determining ablation parameters in the prior art is solved. And the use of a collision algorithm to detect whether the electrode and the lesion are in contact can further improve the accuracy of lesion elimination and avoid thermal damage.
[0039] Embodiment 2 This embodiment also proposes a method for determining ablation parameters of high-frequency pulse electric field ablation. The difference between the method for determining ablation parameters of high-frequency pulse electric field ablation in this embodiment and the method for determining ablation parameters of high-frequency pulse electric field ablation in the first embodiment is that: After step S13, the following steps are also included: After completing an ablation discharge using the ablation parameters, acquiring impedance data, contour, and depth of the lesion within a preset time period after the ablation discharge ends; Specifically, the current impedance data is obtained through an external impedance analyzer, and the impedance data and the contour and depth of the lesion after the end of this ablation discharge are input into the pre-trained second ablation parameter determination model to obtain the corresponding secondary ablation parameters. It should be noted that the secondary ablation refers to the need to ablate the lesion again after the last ablation discharge, including the second ablation, the third ablation and the Nth ablation. In addition, it should be noted that before performing the secondary ablation, the current temperature data can also be obtained to determine whether to continue the ablation based on the data. For example, when the temperature is too high, the ablation is stopped directly, and when the temperature is normal, the secondary ablation is continued to avoid the occurrence of thermal damage. In addition, since the impedance of the lesion will undergo relatively drastic changes at the end of discharge, multiple impedance values may appear within the preset time. In order to ensure the accuracy of the secondary ablation parameter determination, multiple impedance data with similar values can be screened out within the preset time period to obtain the average value as the impedance data of the lesion, or the one with a larger number of identical values can be screened out as the impedance data of the lesion. For example, the preset time period can be selected within 5S or 10S after the end of discharge. The specific range can be selected according to the actual situation and is not limited here.
[0040] Among them, an ablation parameter adjustment feedback mechanism is established. After an ablation discharge is performed, the effect of this ablation discharge can be evaluated, that is, whether the corresponding ablation length and ablation depth are reached under the acquired impedance data. Therefore, if the discharge effect does not meet expectations, that is, the ablation length and ablation depth of the lesion after the ablation discharge do not reach the corresponding ablation length and ablation depth, that is, the difference between the ablation length and ablation depth of the lesion after the ablation discharge and the ablation length and ablation depth of the lesion after the previous ablation discharge are not simultaneously within the corresponding preset range, the ablation parameters of this time can be improved to obtain secondary ablation parameters, which can improve the therapeutic effect of secondary ablation on the lesion.
[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the impedance data after discharge is used to assist the ablation depth and ablation length to obtain the secondary ablation parameters. Compared with the determination of ablation parameters based entirely on ablation length and ablation depth, the accuracy of the determination of the secondary ablation parameters is effectively improved. In the specific implementation, impedance is introduced as additional information, the Bayesian formula is re-established, and a Markov network is established based on the formula. The network is deployed to the training server for AI training. Each set of training data contains secondary ablation parameters, impedance data, ablation length and ablation depth after ablation discharge, and the first ablation parameter determination model Similarly, during training, the training data set consisting of secondary ablation parameters, impedance data, ablation depth and ablation length is used to determine the ablation length and ablation depth through the secondary ablation parameters and impedance data. However, in actual prediction, the secondary ablation parameters need to be determined through impedance data, the contour and depth information of the lesion, i.e., the ablation length and ablation depth. The Markov network needs to construct a Markov chain. Therefore, the ablation length and ablation depth, secondary ablation parameters and impedance data after the above-mentioned ablation discharge are used as states for probability deduction, thereby forming a Markov model. The Bayesian formula is also used for probability calculation.
[0042] Specifically, the mathematical expression of the Bayesian formula is: ; in, P(A|B, I) Indicates in the event B Events under the conditions A, I The probability of occurrence, P(B|A, I) Indicates in the event A Events under the conditions B, I The probability of occurrence, P(A|I) Indicates in the event A The probability of event I occurring under the condition that P(B|I) Indicates in the event B Events under the conditions IThe probability of occurrence, event A = {pulse voltage, pulse width, number of pulse trains, number of discharges}, event B ={ablation length, ablation depth}, I The impedance data.
[0043] Exemplarily, after the discharge is completed, the impedance data 5 seconds after the discharge is completed, and the contour and depth of the lesion after this ablation discharge are input into the Markov network again. At this time, the Markov network can be adjusted according to the results of this discharge to obtain the ablation parameters required for the second discharge, namely the secondary ablation parameters.
[0044] In summary, the method for determining ablation parameters of high-frequency pulse electric field ablation in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention can determine the lesion box containing three-dimensional information of the lesion by acquiring medical image data, so that the contour and depth of the lesion and the electrode contour can be determined according to the potential information about the length, width and depth of the lesion inside the lesion box, so as to use the contour and depth of the lesion to determine the determination of the ablation parameters each time, and can accurately provide corresponding ablation parameters when facing different lesions. The problem of inaccuracy in determining ablation parameters in the prior art is solved. And the use of a collision algorithm to detect whether the electrode and the lesion are in contact can further improve the accuracy of lesion elimination and avoid thermal damage.
