[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and big data technologies, smart healthcare has gradually become an important direction for the medical industry. As one of the core applications of smart healthcare, digital human doctors can simulate the diagnosis and treatment process of human doctors and provide patients with convenient and intelligent health management and diagnosis and treatment recommendations. However, multimodal data has high dimensions, heterogeneity, and complex semantic associations, which poses challenges to the effective fusion and in-depth analysis of data. Each doctor has different diagnosis and treatment styles, decision-making processes, and focus. Digital human doctors need to have the ability to learn and adapt to these unique styles, which places high demands on the learning and generalization capabilities of the model.

[0003] In summary, there is an urgent need for a multimodal medical information processing method, device and medium to solve the problems in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a multimodal medical information processing method, device and medium. The specific technical solution is as follows: A multimodal medical information processing method comprises the following steps: S1: constructing a medical information processing model, wherein the medical information processing model includes an adaptive adjustment encoder, a multi-scale self-prompt generation module and a feature pyramid network; S2: using cross-contrast learning to train the medical information processing model; S3: Obtain the patient's medical information, input the medical information into the trained medical information processing model, and obtain the processing result; The adaptive adjustment encoder is used to extract visual features of medical images in medical information. The adaptive adjustment encoder adopts the VIT architecture and uses domain bypass to process image embedding after multi-head self-attention operation.

[0005] Optionally, domain bypass is used to process image embedding after multi-head self-attention operation, as follows: Preprocess the image embedding using domain-universal embedding to obtain the first embedding containing universal knowledge; Processing the first embedding with a domain-specific embedding to obtain a second embedding that contains some domain-specific knowledge; Call the multi-layer perceptron to process the second embedding and get the final image embedding.

[0006] Optionally, a multi-scale self-hint generation module is used to generate self-hint tags with multi-scale features, and the process is as follows: Taking the image embeddings of different layers in the adaptively adjusted encoder as input, fusing the image embeddings of different layers to obtain multi-scale image embeddings; The convolutional layers with different step sizes are used to perform foreground segmentation on multi-scale image embeddings to obtain foreground features. Low-confidence tags in foreground features are filtered out to obtain self-prompted tags.

[0007] Optionally, in the multi-scale self-hint generation module, a binary cross-entropy loss is used to optimize the foreground segmentation.

[0008] Optionally, fusing image embeddings of different layers is specifically: calling a feature pyramid network to integrate image embeddings of different layers from top to bottom.

[0009] Optionally, the medical information processing model is trained using cross-comparison learning, and the process is as follows: Medical information is extracted by using block marking to obtain image foreground marking, image background marking, text foreground features and text background features; Using the text foreground features and the text background features as a positive sample pair and a negative sample pair of the image foreground marker, to obtain first granularity information and second granularity information; Using the text background features and the text foreground features as a positive sample pair and a negative sample pair of image background labels to obtain third granularity information and fourth granularity information; Based on the first granularity information, the second granularity information, the third granularity information and the fourth granularity information, cross-modal contrastive learning is performed to complete the model training.

[0010] Optionally, contrastive learning loss is used as the loss for training the medical information processing model.

[0011] In addition, the present invention also includes a computer device, including a memory and a processor; The memory is used to store a computer program executable on the processor; The processor is used to implement the steps of the multimodal medical information processing method as described above when executing the computer program.

[0012] In addition, the present invention also includes a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the multimodal medical information processing method as described above are implemented.

[0013] The application of the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention proposes an adaptive adjustment encoder (AT-encoder) for effectively coordinating the fusion of visual features with domain-general knowledge and domain-specific knowledge. While capturing image features, the AT-encoder combines information from different knowledge domains to enhance the adaptability of the model to diverse data. In addition, the query decoder in the present invention uses domain query features for fusion decoding, and achieves flexible adaptation of different knowledge domains by dynamically adjusting feature selection during the decoding process. This joint design enables the model to demonstrate excellent generalization capabilities in diverse knowledge domains, which helps the model to be widely used in complex scenarios such as multimodal medical care and industrial detection.

[0014] (2) The multi-scale self-prompt generation module in the present invention is used to automatically generate high-quality self-prompts containing multi-scale knowledge to improve the effect of multimodal data fusion. The multi-scale self-prompt generation module enables the model to extract and utilize information at different scales through a multi-scale processing mechanism, and provides effective support for multimodal fusion tasks in the framework of self-supervised learning. By generating self-prompts with multiple levels of details and context, the multi-scale self-prompt generation module not only enhances the model's ability to understand complex tasks, but also improves its performance when multimodal data is scarce, which helps promote the widespread application of multimodal medicine and other fields.

[0015] (3) The present invention proposes a cross-contrast learning method that applies contrastive learning at different granularity levels of the image to achieve efficient alignment of visual features and text embeddings. The present invention performs fine-grained contrast between the foreground and background of the image, and significantly improves the ability to focus on relevant areas by training the model using only target categories and background labels, while suppressing interference from irrelevant objects. The contrastive learning strategy of the present invention can effectively activate key areas, enabling the model to have higher accuracy and robustness when processing complex visual-text fusion tasks.
