Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical image processing, for example, to a circle annotation method and circle annotation device and electronic equipment for DICOM images. Background Art

[0002] Currently, machine learning algorithms used for medical diagnosis need to be learned based on a large number of annotated DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) images.

[0003] In the related art, the DICOM images used for annotation are all copied from the hospital's image library or through various other channels. Therefore, these DICOM images often contain DICOM images of various human body parts (for example, chest, abdomen, lumbar spine and brain, etc.). However, the annotation of DICOM images is performed in batches for a certain human body part. If the DICOM images of a specific human body part are manually selected from a large number of DICOM images for annotation, it takes a long time, resulting in a low efficiency in annotating DICOM images. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of annotating DICOM images has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0030] In order to be able to understand the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following technical description, for the convenience of explanation, a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments is provided through multiple details. However, one or more embodiments can still be implemented without these details. In other cases, to simplify the drawings, well-known structures and devices can be simplified for display.

In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0032] Unless otherwise stated, the term "plurality" means two or more.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B indicates: A or B.

[0034] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0035] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a device body 110 and a DICOM image circle annotation device 900. The DICOM image circle annotation device 900 is arranged on the device body.

[0038] Specifically, the circle annotation method for DICOM images proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented based on a pre-built screening and circle annotation tool, and the screening and circle annotation tool is deployed on the electronic device 100 in the form of software.

[0039] Optionally, the DICOM image circle annotation device 700 includes a processor, which can display a circle annotation interface of the filter circle annotation tool in response to a start instruction. It can set the filter conditions of the DICOM images in response to the condition requirements entered by the user in the condition input box of the circle annotation interface. It can set the reading directory and output directory of the DICOM images in response to the directory requirements entered by the user in the directory input box of the circle annotation interface. It can read DICOM images from the reading directory in sequence in response to the user's operation of the start filtering button in the circle annotation interface, and save the DICOM images that meet the filtering conditions to the output directory.

[0040] In combination with the above electronic device, the present disclosure provides a method for annotating DICOM images, such as Figure 2 As shown, the encircling method includes:

[0041] S201: The processor displays a circle annotation interface of a filter circle annotation tool in response to a start instruction.

[0042] Specifically, the filter and circle annotation tool is deployed on the electronic device, and the user can input a start instruction by selecting (selection methods include single-clicking and double-clicking, etc.) the filter and circle annotation tool icon in the display window of the electronic device with a mouse pointer.

[0043] For example, the circle annotation interface is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the circle annotation interface is provided with a condition input box, a directory input box and a start filtering button.

[0044] S202: The processor sets a screening condition for DICOM images in response to a condition requirement input by the user in a condition input box of the circle annotation interface.

[0045] Specifically, the user can set the condition requirements for filtering DICOM images in the condition input box of the circle annotation interface. After receiving the condition requirements entered by the user in the condition input box of the circle annotation interface, the processor can determine the filtering conditions for DICOM images in response to the condition requirements.

[0046] Optionally, there are multiple screening conditions for DICOM images, and the logical relationships between the multiple screening conditions include AND, OR and NOT.

[0047] Specifically, when the user inputs multiple conditions for screening DICOM images in the condition input box of the circle annotation interface, multiple screening conditions for DICOM images are determined.

[0048] Specifically, the requirements for screening DICOM images may include the following aspects:

[0049] First, the specific human body parts in the DICOM image (for example, the midbrain tissue or the posterior cranial brain, etc.).

[0050] Second, the window width (WW, Window Width) and window level (WL, Window Level) of the DICOM image.

[0051] Third, the Modality preset value of the DICOM image. The Modality preset value is used to indicate the image type produced by different types of imaging technologies or equipment, including CT (Computed Tomography), MR (Magnetic Resonance) and DR (Digital Radiography).

[0052] Fourth, the gender of the scanned person corresponding to the DICOM image, including F (Female), M (Male) and O (Other).

[0053] Fifth, the age of the scanned person corresponding to the DICOM image. The units of age include days, months and years.

[0054] Optionally, since some condition requirements have fixed associations, these relationships can be associated, and after the user sets a condition requirement, the condition requirement associated with it is automatically generated. For example, when the human body part to be screened is set to brain tissue, WW: 80HU, WL: 40HU are automatically generated. For another example, when the human body part to be screened is set to the posterior cranial fossa, WW: 100HU, WL: 40HU are automatically generated.

[0055] Specifically, when there are multiple screening conditions determined based on the condition requirements input by the user in the condition input box, the logical relationship between the multiple screening conditions includes AND, OR and NOT.

[0056] For example, the determined screening conditions include condition 1 and condition 2. When the logical relationship between condition 1 and condition 2 is "ADN", the DICOM images screened subsequently must satisfy both condition 1 and condition 2. When the logical relationship between condition 1 and condition 2 is "OR", the DICOM images screened subsequently must satisfy condition 1 or condition 2. When the logical relationship between condition 1 and condition 2 is "NOT", the DICOM images screened subsequently must satisfy condition 1 and not condition 2.

[0057] S203: The processor sets a read directory and an output directory of the DICOM image in response to a directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box of the circle annotation interface.

[0058] Specifically, the directory input box of the circle annotation interface includes an input box for the read directory address of the DICOM image and an input box for the output directory address of the DICOM image. Therefore, the directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box of the circle annotation interface includes setting information for the read directory address of the DICOM image and setting information for the output directory address of the DICOM image. Therefore, after receiving the directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box, the processor can determine the read directory and output directory of the DICOM image in response to the directory requirement.

[0059] Optionally, in response to a directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box of the circle annotation interface, the reading directory and output directory of the DICOM image are set, including: parsing the directory requirement, determining the first address information of the reading directory and the second address information of the output directory; setting the reading directory of the DICOM image according to the first address information; and setting the output directory of the DICOM image according to the second address information.

[0060] Specifically, the directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box includes setting information of the read directory address of the DICOM image and setting information of the output directory address of the DICOM image. Therefore, by parsing the directory requirement, the first address information of the read directory and the second address information of the output directory can be determined. Thus, the read directory and the output directory of the DICOM image can be set according to the first address information and the second address information respectively.

[0061] S204 , the processor responds to the user's operation of the start filtering button in the circle annotation interface, sequentially reads DICOM images from the reading directory, and saves the DICOM images that meet the filtering conditions into the output directory.

[0062] Specifically, if the user operates the Start Filtering button in the circle annotation interface, it indicates that the filtering conditions for DICOM images, the reading directory for DICOM images, and the output directory for the filtered DICOM images have been set. Therefore, in this case, the processor can respond to the user's operation on the Start Filtering button, read DICOM images from the reading directory in sequence, and save the DICOM images that meet the filtering conditions to the output directory.

[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, the user only needs to input the condition requirements for the screening conditions in the condition input box in the circle annotation interface, and input the directory requirements for the read directory and output directory of the DICOM image in the directory input box in the circle annotation interface, and the DICOM images can be automatically read from the read directory in sequence, and the DICOM images that meet the screening conditions can be saved in the output directory, thereby realizing the automatic screening and circle annotation of the DICOM images of a certain human body part. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can improve the efficiency of circle annotation of DICOM images.

[0064] In some embodiments, a first display area is provided in the circle annotation interface; when the DICOM images are read sequentially from the reading directory, the circle annotation method further includes: displaying the screening log in the first display area.

[0065] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a first display area is also provided in the circle annotation interface, and the first display area is used to display log data when filtering DICOM images.

[0066] In this embodiment, in the process of sequentially reading DICOM images from the reading directory, the screening log of the DICOM images will also be displayed in the first display area, so that the user can intuitively understand the current screening status of the DICOM images.

[0067] In some embodiments, a second display area is provided in the circle annotation interface; when DICOM images are read sequentially from a reading directory, the circle annotation method further includes: when DICOM images are read sequentially from a reading directory, the circle annotation method further includes: rendering the currently read DICOM image into a picture format to obtain a currently rendered picture; and displaying the currently rendered picture in the second display area.

[0068] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a second display area is also provided in the circle annotation interface, and the second display area is used to display the rendering image corresponding to the currently filtered DICOM image.

[0069] In this embodiment, in the process of sequentially reading DICOM images from the reading directory, the currently read DICOM image will also be rendered into a picture format to obtain a currently rendered picture, and the currently rendered picture will be displayed in the second display area. In this way, the user can preview the approximate effect of the DICOM image without waiting for all DICOM images in the reading directory to be processed. The user can more intuitively judge whether the current DICOM image meets the screening conditions or the desired image features, thereby accelerating the screening process.

[0070] The present disclosure provides another method for annotating DICOM images. Figure 4 As shown, the encircling method includes:

[0071] S401: The processor displays a circle annotation interface of a filter circle annotation tool in response to a start instruction.

[0072] S402: The processor sets a screening condition for DICOM images in response to a condition requirement input by the user in a condition input box of the circle annotation interface.

[0073] S403: The processor sets a read directory and an output directory of the DICOM image in response to a directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box of the circle annotation interface.

[0074] S404: In response to the user operating the start filtering button in the circle annotation interface, the processor displays a mode determination interface including an automatic filtering mode and a manual filtering mode.

[0075] Specifically, the circle annotation screening tool provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has two screening modes: automatic screening and manual screening. Therefore, after the user operates the start screening button in the circle annotation interface, the processor can respond to the operation and display a mode determination interface for determining whether to adopt the automatic screening mode or the manual screening mode.

[0076] For example, the circle annotation interface showing the mode screening interface is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 It can be seen that an automatic filtering button and a manual filtering button are provided in the mode filtering interface.

[0077] S405 , in response to the user's operation on the automatic filtering button in the mode determination interface, the processor sequentially reads DICOM images from the reading directory and saves the DICOM images that meet the filtering conditions into the output directory.

[0078] Specifically, if the user operates the automatic screening button in the mode determination interface, it indicates that the user desires to use the automatic screening mode. Therefore, in this case, the processor will automatically read DICOM images from the reading directory in sequence and save the DICOM images that meet the screening conditions to the output directory.

[0079] S406, the processor displays a manual filtering interface in response to the user's operation on the manual filtering button in the mode determination interface, and sequentially reads DICOM images from the reading directory and displays them on the manual filtering interface for the user to perform manual filtering.

[0080] Specifically, if the user operates the manual screening button in the mode determination interface, it indicates that the user desires to use the manual screening mode. Therefore, in this case, the processor will display the manual screening interface, and read the DICOM images from the reading directory in sequence and display them in the manual screening interface for the user to perform manual screening.

[0081] For example, the manual screening interface is as follows Figure 6 As shown, it includes an image display area, a selection button, and a switch button. During manual screening, if the user wants to select the current DICOM image displayed in the image display area, the selection button can be operated. In this case, the current DICOM image will be saved in the output directory. If the user does not want to select the current DICOM image displayed in the image display area, the switch button can be operated. In this case, the next DICOM image will be switched to display in the image display area.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the user's operation on the start filtering button, the mode determination interface will be displayed in response to the operation, so that the user can choose to use the automatic filtering mode or the manual filtering mode to filter and annotate the DICOM images.

[0083] The present disclosure provides another method for annotating DICOM images. Figure 7 As shown, the encircling method includes:

[0084] S701: The processor displays a circle annotation interface of a filter circle annotation tool in response to a start instruction.

[0085] S702: The processor sets a screening condition for DICOM images in response to a condition requirement input by the user in a condition input box of the circle annotation interface.

[0086] S703: The processor sets a read directory and an output directory of the DICOM image in response to a directory requirement input by the user in the directory input box of the circle annotation interface.

[0087] S704 , the processor responds to the user's operation of the start filtering button in the circle annotation interface, sequentially reads DICOM images from the reading directory, and saves the DICOM images that meet the filtering conditions into the output directory.

[0088] S705: The processor displays a filtering result confirmation interface in response to the user's operation on a filtering result confirmation button in the circle annotation interface.

[0089] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a filter result confirmation button is also provided in the circle annotation interface. Specifically, if the user operates the filter result button, it indicates that the user wants to manually confirm the result of the automatic screening. Therefore, in this case, the filter result confirmation interface will be displayed.

[0090] S706, the processor reads DICOM images from the output directory in sequence and displays them on the screening result confirmation interface so that the user can confirm the screening result.

[0091] Specifically, by sequentially reading DICOM images from the output directory and displaying them on the screening result confirmation interface, the user can manually confirm each screened DICOM image. Figure 8 As shown. Figure 8 It can be seen that the screening result confirmation interface includes a third display area, a confirmation button and an ignore button.

[0092] Optionally, DICOM images are read from the output directory in sequence and displayed on the screening result confirmation interface for the user to confirm the screening results, including: reading DICOM images from the output directory in sequence and displaying them in the third display area; in response to the user's operation of the confirmation button, re-saving the current DICOM image to the output directory; in response to the user's operation of the ignore button, deleting the current DICOM image from the output directory.

[0093] Specifically, in the process of confirming the screening results, if the user confirms that the current DICOM image displayed in the third display area is accurate, the confirmation button can be operated. In this case, the current DICOM image will be re-saved to the output directory. If the user confirms that the current DICOM image displayed in the third display area is inaccurate, the ignore button can be operated. In this case, the current DICOM image will be deleted from the output directory, and the next DICOM image will be switched to be displayed in the third display area.

[0094] In the disclosed embodiment, a filter result confirmation button is set in the circle annotation interface. After receiving the user's operation on the filter result confirmation button, the filter result confirmation interface will be displayed in response to the operation, and DICOM images will be read from the output directory in sequence and displayed on the filter result confirmation interface for the user to confirm the filter result. In this way, it is convenient for the user to choose to manually perform a second confirmation on the DICOM images output to the output directory, thereby improving the accuracy of the circle annotation of the DICOM images.

In the description corresponding to the flowchart and the block diagram in the accompanying drawings, the operations or steps corresponding to different boxes can also occur in a different order from the order disclosed in the description, and sometimes there is no specific order between different operations or steps. For example, two consecutive operations or steps can actually be executed substantially in parallel, and they can sometimes be executed in the opposite order, which can depend on the functions involved. Each block in the block diagrams and / or flowcharts, and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and / or flowcharts, may be implemented by a dedicated hardware-based system that performs the specified functions or actions, or may be implemented by a combination of dedicated hardware and computer instructions.
