[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] To predict whether a patient who receives neoadjuvant therapy can achieve a pathological complete response rate (PCR), existing technologies mostly use radiomics-based feature extraction for prediction. The disadvantages are as follows: (1) It depends on manual feature extraction and cannot capture complex biological information; (2) When dealing with high-dimensional data, overfitting is likely to occur; (3) The labor cost is high and human bias is easily introduced. To address the above deficiencies, an existing technology proposes a neoadjuvant therapy effect prediction model based on deep learning. Through the neural network of deep learning, it automatically learns image features and processes image data. However, the existing deep learning-based neoadjuvant therapy effect prediction models mainly rely on pre-treatment image data, without combining clinical data and biochemical indicators. The interpretability of the models is poor and good prediction effects cannot be achieved. For this, please refer to Figure 1 , this application proposes a method for classifying the responsiveness of imaging prediction of tumor treatment, including steps S110 to S150.

[0051] Step S110: Obtain a basic network model, introduce a deep supervision strategy (DSS, Deep Supervision Strategy) and a multi-layer perceptron structure (MLP, Multi-Layer Perceptron) into the basic network model to obtain an initial network model.

[0052] In this embodiment, the basic network model is: 3D ResNet-18. Using 3D ResNet-18 as the basic network, introducing a deep supervision strategy and a multi-layer perceptron structure, and determining the improved basic network model as the initial network model.

[0053] It can be understood that introducing a multi-level deep supervision strategy enables the model to learn from different stages of the network, thereby learning richer image features and enhancing the feature capture ability of the model; introducing a multi-layer perceptron structure can integrate the model output with multiple clinical features, such as age, gender, BMI, tumor location, CEA, and CA125, etc., to further improve the prediction effect of the model.

[0054] In an implementation manner, the basic network model includes: N residual modules and a fully connected layer. Please refer to Figure 2 , the introduction of the deep supervision strategy into the basic network model includes: steps S111 to S116.

[0055] Specifically, the basic network model includes multiple residual modules, which are connected in sequence. By adding an output layer to each residual module in the basic network model, the model generates multiple intermediate outputs and a final output. The final loss function of the model is re-determined based on each output, and further, the network parameters of the model are optimized and updated according to the final loss function.

[0056] S111, add an output layer to each of the residual modules.

[0057] Specifically, an output layer is added at the output end of each residual module, so that the model generates multiple intermediate outputs and a final output. The loss function of the model is adjusted according to each intermediate output and the final output to improve the prediction ability of the model.

[0058] S112, determine the outputs of the output layers corresponding to the 1st to the (N - 1)th residual modules as intermediate outputs respectively, and determine the output of the output layer corresponding to the Nth residual module as the final output.

[0059] For example, the basic network model includes four residual modules connected in sequence. An output layer is added at the output end of each residual module respectively. The output results of the output layers corresponding to the first residual module, the second residual module, and the third residual module are determined as intermediate outputs, and the output result of the output layer corresponding to the fourth residual module is determined as the final output.

[0060] S113, process each of the intermediate outputs and the final output using the normalized exponential function to obtain corresponding soft labels.

[0061] Specifically, after each intermediate output and the final output pass through the normalized exponential function (softmax) respectively, corresponding multiple soft labels are obtained.

[0062] S114, based on each of the soft labels, determine the final loss value according to the relative entropy divergence loss function.

[0063] Specifically, use the relative entropy (KL, Kullback - Leibler) loss function to calculate the loss value between the soft label corresponding to each intermediate output and the soft label corresponding to the final output, and add the calculated loss values to the initial loss function of the model to obtain the final loss function. It can be understood that the initial loss function is a preset basic objective function.

[0064] S115, determine the final loss function according to the final loss value.

[0065] For example, if the initial loss function of the model is a, and the loss value between the soft label corresponding to the intermediate output and the soft label corresponding to the final output is b, then the final output loss function is: a + b × alpha. It can be understood that alpha is a preset constant used to adjust the proportion of the intermediate output in the loss function, and its specific value can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0066] S116. Update the basic network model according to the final loss function.

[0067] Specifically, perform backpropagation according to the final loss function, calculate the gradient, and use an optimization algorithm to update the weights of the basic network model to minimize the value of the final loss function.

[0068] Step S120. Determine the teacher-student network model according to the initial network model.

[0069] In this embodiment, the initial network model is embedded into a preset knowledge distillation framework to obtain the teacher-student network model. It can be understood that the teacher-student network model includes: a teacher network model and a student network model.

[0070] In one implementation manner, a multi-layer perceptron structure is introduced into the basic network model, including: introducing the multi-layer perceptron structure before the fully connected layer, and the multi-layer perceptron structure is used to fuse at least one preset feature.

[0071] In this embodiment, the multi-layer perceptron structure is used to integrate the CT image and at least one preset feature, where the preset features include: clinical features, specifically including: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), tumor location, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and / or cancer antigen 125 (CA125). These features are fused before the fully connected layer of the model to further improve the prediction accuracy of the model. Among them, the multi-layer perceptron structure includes: a linear transformation layer and a ReLU activation function.

[0072] Step S130. Obtain an image data set, where the image data set includes: a first data subset and a second data subset. The first data subset includes a plurality of first data, and the second data subset includes a plurality of second data, and each of the second data corresponds to one of the first data.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first data includes computed tomography (CT) images after treatment, hereinafter referred to as CT images. The first data also includes classification labels corresponding to each CT image. The second data includes CT images before treatment and classification labels corresponding to each CT image. It can be understood that for the same treatment object, the CT image before treatment corresponds to the CT image after treatment.

[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the obtaining of the image data set includes steps S131 to S135.

[0075] Step S131: Obtain multiple first images, and perform image processing on each of the first images according to a preset processing method to obtain corresponding second images.

[0076] It should be noted that the first images are CT images. Before performing image processing on the first images, the format of the first images needs to be converted to a preset format first. For example, the preset format is the NRRD format. If the obtained first images are in the DICOM format, then the first images need to be converted from the DICOM format to the NRRD format first, and then image processing is performed on the first images after format adjustment.

[0077] In one embodiment, the performing image processing on each of the first images according to a preset processing method to obtain corresponding second images includes: adjusting each of the first images to a preset window width, preset window level, preset brightness, and preset pixel value respectively, and then performing resampling to obtain the second images corresponding to each of the first images.

[0078] It can be understood that the window width controls the contrast of the gray level in the image display. A larger window width will result in a lower contrast of the image, while a smaller window width will result in an increased contrast of the image. The window level determines the position of the center of the gray level of the image. The image brightness and the preset pixel value also affect the clarity of the image. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to avoid the adverse effects of the image clarity on the model prediction, it is necessary to adjust the window width, window level, brightness, and pixel value of each first image.

[0079] It should be noted that the preset window frame, preset window level, preset brightness, and preset pixel value can be adjusted according to reference experience values, specifically according to actual needs. For example, the window width is adjusted to 350 so that the image can best display the esophagus part; the window level is adjusted to 0 so that the center of the gray level of the image is located at the center of the entire gray scale range.

[0080] Step S132: Using the largest connected component method, crop each of the second images according to the corresponding preset mask image to obtain corresponding third images.

[0081] In this embodiment, the preset mask image is usually a binary image of the same size as the CT image. Different second images correspond to different preset mask images. According to the corresponding preset mask image, the second image is cropped using the largest connected component method to obtain the corresponding third image, where the third image contains the region of interest (ROI), for example: the tumor location.

[0082] It should be noted that the largest connected component method refers to constructing a connected component containing non-zero pixel values based on the non-zero pixel values in the preset mask image. Compared with the traditional cropping method, it can better remove noise and automatically extract the largest region of interest.

[0083] Further, before cropping the second image according to the preset mask image, a cropping distance can be preset, for example, 5 pixels outward from the non-zero pixel values in the preset mask image, to ensure the region of interest, such as the tissue around the tumor. Specifically, reference can be made to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which shows a schematic diagram of the second image before and after cropping provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0084] Step S133, standardize each of the third images to obtain the corresponding fourth images.

[0085] It can be understood that images obtained by different scanners and scanning protocols may produce images with different directions and arrangements, that is, the directions and arrangements of the cropped third images are different. To avoid the adverse effects of this difference on the prediction results, each of the third images is respectively converted to the standard RAS+ direction, and the image intensity values are standardized by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation, so as to reduce the influence brought by these changes.

[0086] Step S134, for each of the fourth images, perform random transformation processing to obtain multiple fifth images, and perform label classification on each of the fifth images.

[0087] In this embodiment, the random transformation processing includes but is not limited to: RandomFlip, RandomAffine, RandomElasticDeformation, and RandomSwap of the image slices. It can be understood that by performing random transformation processing on the fourth image to generate more training data, that is, the fifth images, it can help the model generalize better.

[0088] Step S135, each of the fifth images and the classification labels respectively corresponding to each of the fifth images constitute the image dataset.

[0089] It can be understood that the classification structure labels include: achieving a pathological complete remission rate and not achieving a pathological complete remission rate.

[0090] Step S140, training the teacher-student network model based on the first data subset and the second data subset to obtain a target model.

[0091] It should be noted that the teacher-student network model includes a teacher network model and a student network model. The first data subset includes multiple post-treatment CT images and classification labels respectively corresponding to each post-treatment CT image. The second data subset includes multiple pre-treatment CT images and classification labels respectively corresponding to each pre-treatment CT image.

[0092] In this embodiment, the first data subset is divided into a first training set and a first test set according to a preset ratio, and the second data subset is divided into a second training set and a second test set. The teacher network model is trained based on the first training set and the first test set to obtain a target teacher network model. The student network model is trained based on the second training set and the second test set, and during the training process, the network parameters of the student network model are adjusted based on the output of the target teacher network model. Specifically, reference can be made to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which shows a training schematic diagram of the teacher-student network model provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0093] In an implementation manner, the teacher-student network model includes: a teacher network model and a student network model. Training the teacher-student network model based on the first data subset and the second data subset to obtain a target model includes: dividing the first data subset into a first training set and a first test set according to a preset ratio; training the teacher network model based on the first training set and the first test set to obtain a target teacher network model. Training the student network model based on the second data subset and the target teacher network model to obtain the target model.

[0094] In this embodiment, before training the student network model, it is necessary to first train the teacher network model according to the first data subset to obtain a target teacher network model. Specifically, the first data subset is divided into a first training set and a first test set according to a preset ratio, such as 8:2, and the teacher network model is trained based on the first training set and the first test set to obtain a target teacher network model.

[0095] In one embodiment, training the student network model based on the second data subset and the target teacher network model to obtain the target model includes: dividing the second data subset into a second training set and a second test set according to a preset ratio; training the student network model based on the second training set and the second test set, and during the training process, updating the student network model based on the output of the target teacher network model, and determining the updated student network model as the target model.

[0096] In this embodiment, during the process of inputting the data of the second training set and the second test set into the student network model to train the student network model, the data is also simultaneously input into the target teacher network model. During the training process of the student network model, the parameters are also adjusted according to the output of the target teacher network model. Finally, the trained student network model is determined as the target model.

[0097] It can be understood that the target teacher network model learns the features of the post-treatment CT images, so as to correct the student network model that makes predictions only based on the pre-treatment CT images, and thus the trained target model can also achieve good prediction results only through the pre-treatment CT images.

[0098] Step S150: Obtain the image to be classified, and input the image to be classified into the target model to obtain the corresponding classification result.

[0099] In this embodiment, the image to be classified is a CT image. After inputting the image to be classified into the target model, the corresponding prediction probability value is obtained, and then the sigmoid function is used to implement binary classification to obtain the corresponding classification result, that is, reaching the pathological complete remission rate or not reaching the pathological complete remission rate.

[0100] It should be noted that before inputting the image to be classified into the target model, the image to be classified also needs to be preprocessed, specifically including: adjusting the image to be classified to a preset format, adjusting the window width of the image to be classified to a preset window width, adjusting the window level to a preset window level, adjusting the brightness to a preset brightness, and adjusting the pixel values to preset pixel values.

[0101] The image prediction tumor treatment reactivity classification method provided by the embodiments of this application obtains a basic network model, introduces a deep supervision strategy and a multi-layer perceptron structure into the basic network model to obtain an initial network model; determines a teacher-student network model according to the initial network model; obtains an image data set, where the image data set includes: a first data subset and a second data subset, the first data subset includes multiple first data, the second data subset includes multiple second data, and each of the second data corresponds to one of the first data; trains the teacher-student network model based on the first data subset and the second data subset to obtain a target model; obtains an image to be classified, and inputs the image to be classified into the target model to obtain a corresponding classification result. This application classifies and predicts the pathological complete remission situation through the reconstructed target model, improving the prediction accuracy of the pathological complete remission situation.
