Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart medical technology, and in particular to an MRI mismatch scoring method, device, equipment, medium and product. Background Art
[0002] Cerebrovascular diseases, including acute cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, are one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Accurate and rapid identification of acute cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction is crucial for timely treatment and improved prognosis. Acute cerebral hemorrhage refers to a disease in which cerebral blood vessels rupture, causing blood to enter the brain tissue and causing brain tissue damage. Cerebral infarction is a condition in which cerebral blood vessels are blocked, causing ischemia and hypoxia of the brain tissue, causing brain tissue damage. Although both involve problems with brain blood circulation, their etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms are different, and the treatment decisions are completely different: cerebral hemorrhage requires blood pressure control and reduction of cerebral edema; for the acute stage of cerebral infarction, thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy can be used, and antiplatelet aggregation can be performed later to improve circulation treatment. Therefore, being able to quickly identify cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction in the hyperacute stage will be very beneficial for patients' treatment plan decisions.
[0003] The differential diagnosis between cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction includes symptoms and imaging examination results. The usual differentiation method is as follows: cerebral hemorrhage usually occurs during activities, manifested as sudden headache, nausea, vomiting, and then combined with the clinical characteristics of hemiplegia, aphasia, and coma, it can basically be determined to be cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebral infarction usually occurs in a quiet state, and also manifests as hemiplegia, aphasia, and even coma. The most critical differentiation is that once this happens, if high density is seen on computed tomography (CT), it is determined to be cerebral hemorrhage. On the other hand, imaging examinations also play an important role in differential diagnosis. Commonly used imaging examinations include cranial CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can help doctors determine the cause and type of disease by observing the condition of brain blood vessels and the degree of brain tissue damage. In addition, special examination methods such as angiography can be used to further clarify the diagnosis. Clinical scoring tools are an auxiliary diagnostic method that can help doctors more accurately judge the patient's condition. Commonly used clinical scoring tools include the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), etc., which can provide important reference for doctors' diagnosis by evaluating the patient's consciousness state, limb movement and other indicators.
[0004] For traditional imaging identification methods, CT has high sensitivity in detecting acute cerebral hemorrhage, but low sensitivity in detecting acute cerebral infarction. This limitation may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, delay treatment, and thus affect the patient's prognosis. MRI has high sensitivity in detecting acute cerebral infarction, especially DWI is the most sensitive. Although MRI sequences can provide detailed brain structure information, identification cannot be achieved through certain imaging features in a certain MRI sequence. It is usually necessary to compare, observe and analyze multiple MRI sequences, and finally draw conclusions, which is very dependent on the doctor's experience. Therefore, the sensitivity and specificity of MRI sequences in hyperacute lesions are limited. This deficiency causes doctors to rely on experience and subjective judgment, increasing the risk of misdiagnosis.
[0005] MRI mismatch score is to evaluate the infarct core and ischemic penumbra of ischemic stroke patients in MRI through multiple imaging techniques, and then calculate the mismatch volume and mismatch ratio (i.e., mismatch ratio) to guide clinical treatment. MRI mismatch score is mainly based on imaging technology, such as DWI-PWI mismatch identification (i.e., DWI-PWI mismatch score) based on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI), or DWI-FLAIR mismatch identification based on DWI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), or DWI-ASL mismatch identification based on DWI and arterial spin labeling (ASL), etc. In these mismatch identifications, such as DWI-PWI mismatch identification, the current mainstream methods are mainly based on traditional imaging analysis and mainly rely on doctors' interpretation of DWI-PWI. There are problems of low efficiency of MRI mismatch scoring and low accuracy of MRI mismatch scoring results. There are many MRI scanning sequences, including not only PWI, DWI, FLAIR, and ASL sequences, but also low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences (i.e., low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences). Like these sequences, such as DWI, low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences are also scanned by magnetic resonance. DWI and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences can be quickly scanned within a few minutes using low-field mobile magnetic resonance equipment (such as the mobile head and neck magnetic resonance system ACUTAElfin manufactured by Foshan Regato Medical Technology Co., Ltd.). Compared with sequences such as PWI, FLAIR, and ASL, low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences can quickly and accurately judge hemorrhagic stroke. Based on this, there is an urgent need in the art for an MRI mismatch scoring method for DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch identification based on DWI and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences to improve the efficiency of MRI mismatch scoring and the accuracy of MRI mismatch scoring results.
[0006] However, the existing mismatch identification algorithms are mainly used for the evaluation between DWI and PWI, DWI and FLAIR, and DWI and ASL. There is no algorithm for the mismatch of DWI and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence signals, and the applicability and effect of the existing algorithms are limited. This blank limitation leads to the fact that in the identification of hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, if other current image mismatch models (including DWI-PWI mismatch identification models and mismatch models of other different modal images, such as DWI-FLAIR, etc.) are directly applied, the effect is not ideal, because the current image algorithm can still basically only process images of known modalities during training. For low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence images, which are unseen modalities, the algorithm generally needs to be redesigned and experimented. In view of the above-mentioned gaps in the prior art, the art urgently needs an algorithm that can perform DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch identification based on DWI and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequences.

If high signal appears on both the DWI image and the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence image, it is judged that the DWI image and the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence image match, and the hemorrhage or ischemia type of the target object is hemorrhage.
[0044] The technical solution of the present application is described below with a specific embodiment.
[0045] The MRI mismatch scoring method provided in the present application is a DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence signal mismatch scoring algorithm based on a deep learning model (i.e., a DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch identification algorithm based on a deep learning model). By applying the deep learning method to DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch identification, the deep learning model is used to automatically extract DWI and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence image features, to achieve rapid analysis and evaluation, provide real-time diagnosis results, shorten the diagnosis time, overcome the limitation of traditional imaging that relies on the subjective judgment of doctors, establish an objective and quantifiable DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence signal mismatch evaluation system, provide a reliable diagnostic basis, assist clinicians in making decisions, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the identification of hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, reduce the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and provide a new technical means for the rapid and accurate identification of hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction.
[0046] This application constructs an indicator for calculating the high signal mismatch between diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence, and provides a DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch scoring model based on a deep learning model, which is used to quickly identify hemorrhage and ischemia in the hyperacute stage of stroke and assist doctors in diagnosis. This method can automatically segment the lesions displayed on the patient's DWI images and perform segmentation quickly; then, through the mismatch scoring module designed in this application, the score of the degree of mismatch between the lesion signal currently displayed on the DWI and the corresponding low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence is compared and calculated.
[0047] This application uses the capabilities of the deep model to achieve DWI stroke lesion segmentation, and through the designed signal mismatch scoring algorithm, calculates a score used to describe the degree of mismatch to prompt doctors to identify the type of hemorrhage and ischemia in patients in the hyperacute stage. The process of the DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch score method for rapid identification of hemorrhage and ischemia is briefly described as follows.
[0048] (1) Using the DWI acute ischemic lesion dataset, the Figure 2 The DWI-UNet segmentation network (i.e., a neural network based on the U-Net framework) shown in the figure is trained to obtain a DWI lesion segmentation model.
[0049] (2) Use the DWI lesion segmentation model to segment the DWI image and obtain the lesion segmentation results on the DWI.
[0050] (3) For a pair of DWI and low-field MRI stroke differential sequence images (the DWI images and low-field MRI stroke differential sequence images are corresponding), use the registration library in ANTs (Advanced Normalization Tools) to register the low-field MRI stroke differential sequence images to the DWI images. DWI sequences and low-field MRI stroke differential sequences can be quickly scanned within a few minutes using low-field mobile MRI equipment. Since multiple sequences are scanned for diagnosis when the same patient undergoes MRI scanning, the DWI and low-field MRI stroke differential sequences obtained from the same patient are corresponding.
[0051] (4) Apply the obtained segmentation result (binarized mask) to the registered low-field MRI stroke identification sequence image, calculate the mean image intensity of the part with a value of 1 in the mask, and then calculate the mean intensity of the entire brain of the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence, and compare the two means to obtain a ratio that can represent the signal difference inside and outside the region. Among them, the image intensity of the part with a value of 1 is obtained as follows: the segmentation mask is binary (only 0 and 1), and each pixel value of the image in the computer represents the voxel intensity value of the image at that location, so the segmentation mask is multiplied by the image (a matrix of the same shape and size), and the intensity value of the image corresponding to the segmentation mask of 0 becomes 0, and the part of 1 remains unchanged, that is, the part corresponding to the segmentation mask of 1 is taken out. For example, a method for calculating the mean intensity of the whole brain in a low-field MRI stroke identification sequence is used. For example, a low-field MRI stroke identification sequence image is represented by A, and its shape is a (13, 512, 512) matrix, and each element represents the image intensity value, for example, A[0, 0, 0] = 725. First, A is skull-stripped, such as Figure 3 As shown, we get an image of only the brain and calculate the overall mean: add up each element of the matrix and divide it by the total number of elements.
[0052] (5) According to the set threshold ( ), compare it with the ratio obtained in (4) and get the identification result.
[0053] The lesion segmentation model in this application is explained below.
[0054] The DWI-UNet lesion segmentation model (i.e., DWI lesion segmentation model) used in this application adopts improved network training based on UNet. First, a DWI acute ischemic lesion dataset is constructed, the original DWI images are selected, and abnormal data are removed. Then, the doctor manually outlines the lesion area as the lesion annotation of the corresponding image, which constitutes a lesion segmentation dataset with the original image data. The model constructed in this application is based on the traditional U-Net framework, and the lesion segmentation network is mainly composed of 4 downsampling and upsampling stages. Each downsampling layer includes a maximum pooling layer, two convolutional layers (convolution kernel size is 3, stride is 1, padding is 1), two InstanceNorm layers and two ReLU activation functions, and is constructed in the order of maximum pooling layer, convolution layer-1, InstanceNorm-1, ReLU-1, convolution layer-2, InstanceNorm-2, ReLU-2; each upsampling layer includes a deconvolution layer (convolution kernel size is 2, stride is 2, padding is 0), two convolutional layers (convolution kernel size is 3, stride is 1, padding is 1), two InstanceNorm layers and two ReLU activation functions, and is constructed in the order of deconvolution layer, convolution layer-1, InstanceNorm-1, ReLU-1, convolution layer-2, InstanceNorm-2, ReLU-2. In order to improve the network's ability to extract features for medical images, a dense connection method is also used in the downsampling stage, and a residual module is added at the bottleneck to ensure that the segmentation model can extract enough information for segmentation. Finally, the output of the network is passed through a Sigmoid activation function to limit the output range to [0, 1], and the value is considered to be the probability result of the lesion prediction. The reason for outputting the probability value when the model predicts is that the label is a binary mask of 0 or 1, 0 means that the place is normal, and 1 means that there is a lesion. When the model is trained, it is necessary to predict whether a certain place is a lesion. The output value is a number between 0 and 1. The larger the value, the higher the confidence of the model that there is a lesion, so the output of the model prediction is a probability value. The final output is to generate a segmentation mask based on a confidence threshold. For example, if it is set to 0.5, then when the model predicts that the probability of this place being a lesion is 0.6 (>0.5), it is considered to be a lesion, and the final output mask value of this place is set to 1, otherwise it is set to 0.
[0055] Weighted Binary Cross Entropy Loss and DICE loss are used during training. The total loss function of training is the sum of the two, and their calculation formulas are as follows.
[0056] .
[0057] .
[0058] in, represents the weighted cross entropy loss, represents the DICE loss, represents the weight parameter, Indicates the first pixels, Represents the true label value at the pixel. Represents the predicted value of the network at the pixel point, and N represents the total number of pixels in an image. Finally, the network is trained by reverse gradient propagation and gradient descent algorithms until the network converges. Using cross-validation, the average DICE value and average Hausdorff Distance value of the model segmentation results are evaluated on the test set, and the model with the best evaluation index, that is, the highest segmentation accuracy, is selected for parameter preservation, and finally the DWI-UNet lesion segmentation model is obtained.
[0059] The UNet lesion segmentation network is only one step in the scoring method. First, it is used to identify the lesion part in the DWI image, and then with the help of the lesion mask map, the corresponding calculation method is used to perform corresponding calculations on the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence images to obtain the corresponding indicators and achieve the final judgment.
[0060] The following is an explanation of the DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence mismatch scoring method in this application.
[0061] For the DWI image and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence image of the same patient, it is considered that if a high signal is shown on DWI but not on the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence, it means a mismatch, and in this case the current patient can be directly identified as ischemic; conversely, if both DWI and the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence show high signals, they match, and in this case the current patient can be directly identified as hemorrhage. The traditional modality signal mismatch algorithm based on deep learning is usually calculated based on the segmentation results of different modalities, and it is very challenging to use the lesion segmentation method for the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence: first, the high signal area in the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence is not as significant as that in the DWI sequence, which will increase the difficulty of model learning and cannot guarantee the accuracy of segmentation; secondly, if the model size and complexity are increased to enhance its learning ability, it will lead to a substantial increase in training resources and reasoning time, and lose the original goal of this application to quickly and economically identify ischemia; finally, the construction of the low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence lesion data set will be more time-consuming and labor-intensive than other modalities.
[0062] Therefore, the present application constructs an indicator based on the DWI high-signal lesion area to infer whether the corresponding low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence area has a high signal, and then combines the DWI signal situation (the present application is aimed at the disease, DWI will definitely show a high signal, and the absence of a high signal in DWI indicates that the patient is healthy and does not need to be identified for hemorrhage and ischemia) for comprehensive evaluation to achieve rapid hemorrhage and ischemia identification. The specific indicator calculation method is described below: Usually, the images of the DWI and low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence of the same patient are not completely aligned, that is, for the same coordinate, the two may correspond to different positions. Therefore, it is necessary to align the same anatomical structures in the two images, and when expressed in coordinates, it is hoped that they are on the same coordinates. For example Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the Synthstrip model is first used to perform skull stripping on the DWI and low-field MRI stroke identification sequences respectively. This is not only conducive to the accuracy of subsequent registration, but also a necessary step for calculating the high signal intensity mean ratio on the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence, because the skull part usually has a higher intensity signal than other brain tissues; then the registration method in the ANTs library is used to register the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence image to the DWI image using Affine transformation to obtain the registered low-field MRI stroke identification sequence image. The image shape is recorded as ( , , ), respectively represent the height, width, and number of slices (i.e., depth). Among them, the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence is registered to DWI, which means that DWI remains unchanged, and the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence is transformed into the same physical space as DWI through operations such as rotation and translation. The new image obtained is the registered low-field MRI stroke identification sequence image.
[0063] At this point, the lesion mask obtained from DWI segmentation Comparison of registered low-field MRI stroke identification sequences Calculate according to the following formula and extract the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence area corresponding to the DWI high signal .

[0065] in, Indicates the dimensions to which it belongs, and the size and shape of the image corresponding to each dimension. For example express: It is a three-dimensional vector in real space, each dimension represents its height, width and depth. DWI high signal refers to the image with a value of 1 in the lesion segmentation result on DWI.
[0066] Calculate the local signal strength mean and the mean signal intensity of the whole brain .
[0067] .
[0068] .
[0069] in, To express expectation, such as As mentioned above, in three-dimensional space, through coordinates ( , , ) uniquely identifies a point in space, represents the position along the height axis, Indicates the position along the width axis, represents the position along the depth axis, Indicates that it corresponds to ( , , ) coordinates, the intensity value of an image voxel. For 2D images, ( , ) can determine a position, and the point corresponding to the image position is usually called a pixel point; for 3D images, ( , , ) can determine a position, and the point corresponding to the image position is usually called a voxel point. The local signal intensity mean refers to the local mean of the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence after registration corresponding to the DWI value of 1, and the whole brain signal intensity mean refers to the intensity mean of the whole brain of the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence.
[0070] Calculate the ratio of local strength to global strength .
[0071] .
[0072] By and a high signal threshold that can be set based on the image data For comparison, if If the intensity signal value of the local area is significantly higher than the average intensity value of the entire brain, it can be considered that a high signal appears in this area; on the contrary, there is no high signal in the local area. Therefore, combined with the high signal of DWI, the identification of ischemia can be achieved. Based on the characteristics of the images, experienced medical experts suggested that adjustments can be made based on the data.
[0073] like Figure 4As shown, the present application proposes a method for quickly identifying hemorrhage and ischemia using a DWI-low-field magnetic resonance stroke identification sequence based on a deep learning model, and the steps are as follows.
[0074] S1: Training lesion segmentation model.
[0075] The constructed segmentation dataset is used to train the DWI-UNet lesion segmentation network to obtain an accurate lesion segmentation model.
[0076] S2: Perform lesion segmentation on DWI images.
[0077] Use the trained DWI-UNet segmentation network to perform lesion segmentation on the DWI image (DWI image without skull removal). The input data accepted by the trained UNet segmentation network is the DWI image without skull removal. When using the trained model to segment the DWI image, there is no need to perform additional operations on the DWI. You only need to send it to the UNet segmentation network to get the segmentation result.
[0078] S3: Preprocess low-field MRI stroke identification sequence images and DWI images.
[0079] The skull was stripped using Synthstrip, and the ANTs registration method was used to register the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence with DWI using Affine transformation to obtain the registered low-field MRI stroke identification sequence brain image and the corresponding DWI brain image. The preprocessing of the low-field MRI stroke identification sequence and DWI is for the subsequent calculation steps.
[0080] S4: Calculation of signal intensity in low-field MRI stroke identification sequence.
