Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image processing, and in particular to a pathological image training and education control system based on virtual reality. Background Art

[0002] Pathological images are images of human tissues or cells observed and analyzed under a microscope. They are obtained by slicing, staining, and sealing the pathological specimens, and then observing and photographing them under a microscope. Pathological images can be used by pathologists and clinicians to diagnose and identify tissue lesions, including inflammation, tumors, and infections. Pathological images can also be used for scientific research and teaching. With the development of digital technology, pathological images can also be converted into digital form through digital scanning and image processing technology, which is convenient for remote sharing, archiving, and analysis. The analysis of pathological images mainly relies on advanced image processing technology and high-precision hardware configuration. Clinical medical staff make judgments with the help of pathological images. However, traditional pathological image training and education mainly rely on laboratory and classroom environments. Learners need to go to designated locations to learn. Under limited real cases and experimental conditions, this traditional method has some limitations and challenges, such as the scarcity of learning resources, limited practice opportunities for learners, and lack of interactivity and feedback. The development of virtual reality (VR) technology has brought new possibilities for pathological image training and education. VR technology can simulate real environments and scenes, allowing users to interact and experience them in an immersive way. In the field of pathological images, VR technology can be used to create virtual pathological image scenes and laboratory environments, providing a broader, more diverse and interactive learning experience.

[0003] Prior art 1, application number: CN202310327834.2 discloses a teaching and training system, including a teacher terminal module, an intelligent teaching assistant module, a live content loading module and a student terminal module. The live content loading module can receive instructions from the teacher terminal to display 3D material models, teacher 3D images and local courseware, and students can conduct real-time remote learning through virtual reality devices. The intelligent teaching assistant module can conduct knowledge training and classroom tests according to the instructions of the teacher terminal, and can answer students' questions independently to achieve intelligent and personalized teaching. Although useful attempts have been made in the display of 3D medical models through virtual reality technology, and artificial intelligence technology has been used to assist teaching, the effect of medical teaching has been significantly improved; however, it lacks realism and interactivity, and learners cannot truly experience the actual operation and touch, which has certain limitations on the improvement of practical ability.

[0004] Prior art 2, application number: CN201710029745.4 discloses a remote medical education system, including a teaching data collection terminal for collecting actual patient medical data information; a consultation and teaching terminal for teaching doctors to diagnose and treat actual patients and to demonstrate and guide students during the diagnosis and treatment process; a learning and practice terminal for students to learn and practice remotely; and a server terminal respectively connected to the teaching data collection terminal, the consultation and teaching terminal, and the learning and practice terminal. Combining the telemedicine consultation system with the simulation teaching system, collecting patient data in real time to form clinical teaching cases, and combining with the situational teaching method, using virtual reality technology to achieve teaching interaction among students, the real clinical education environment helps to cultivate students' initiative, enthusiasm and creativity in learning. Although it trains students to form correct clinical thinking, maximizes the subjective initiative of learning, significantly improves students' clinical thinking ability and improves teaching effectiveness; however, the accuracy and stability of virtual reality interactive devices still need to be improved. Complex operations may result in misidentification or instability. Virtual reality head-mounted displays have problems such as heavy weight, uncomfortable wearing, visual fatigue, and insufficient precision. Long-term use may affect the comfort and health of learners; the accuracy and sensitivity of virtual reality handles or controllers are limited, especially for some subtle image operations, which may be difficult.

[0005] Prior art three, application number CN202010134466.6 discloses a medical imaging image database education platform, which includes 3 modules, namely, image database establishment module, image database management module and image database use module; by setting up 3 modules for standardized management, it realizes classification by system anatomy, pathology or etiology, subject terms, etc., with a large number of typical images as the main form of expression, with general and clinically operational text descriptions and definitions; although it is convenient for readers to search according to the content of interest, so that readers can deepen their understanding of disease knowledge points and improve the visualization of medical imaging (diagnosis) teaching, the cloud-based virtual reality system may have challenges such as network delay, data security and privacy issues.

[0006] Currently, the prior art 1, prior art 2 and prior art 3 have problems such as insufficient realism and interactivity, limited equipment comfort and accuracy, etc. Therefore, the present invention provides a pathological image training and education control system based on virtual reality, which can provide a large number of pathological image simulations and cases through virtual reality technology, enrich learning resources, and enable learners to be exposed to more diverse cases and situations.
