Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent medical care, and more specifically, to a method, device, medium and program product for constructing an enophthalmos lesion volume assessment model. Background Art

[0002] Post-traumatic enophthalmos (PE) refers to the necrosis and adhesion of part of the orbital cavity due to injury, orbital tumor resection / radiotherapy, etc., which leads to the eyeball moving backward, outward and downward at the equator due to the loss of orbital volume and / or the increase of orbital cavity volume, resulting in the eyeball visually sinking and retracting. Currently, this condition is usually confirmed by the following diagnostic criteria in ophthalmological evaluation: (1) Clinical examination: using external observation and manual detection of the position of the eyeball; (2) Imaging examination: mainly using CT or MRI scans to evaluate the structural changes in the orbit and the relative position of the eyeball; (3) Quantitative measurement: using exophthalmometer to quantify the protrusion of the eyeball. Retraction outside the normal range is considered to be concave. It is generally believed that a retraction of more than 2 mm compared with the contralateral eyeball is clinically significant.

[0003] Currently, sunken eyes are usually treated by injecting fillers to correct the protrusion of the eyeball; at this time, a necessary technical problem is how to determine the amount of filler to be filled.

[0004] In the existing technology, CT imaging is used to assist in analyzing the orbital volume of patients with orbital bone fractures and to calculate the empirical formula for orbital volume filling and correction of eyeball protrusion. Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between orbital volume and enophthalmos, mainly based on the relationship between the orbital volume ratio (OVR), that is, the ratio of the volume of the damaged orbit to the volume of the normal orbit and the degree of enophthalmos (PE), that is, the empirical formula method: the greater the increase in OV, the more severe the PE. On average, the OV increases by 1cm. 3 It will cause PE to increase by 0.80mm. This situation is mainly applicable to the eyeball sunken caused by orbital fractures leading to the increase of bony orbital volume. The filling amount at this time is determined according to the measured increase of bony orbital volume. The orbital cavity volume increases by 1cm. 3This will result in a reduction of approximately 0.8mm in eyeball extrusion. The injection volume is determined by estimating the degree of orbital volume increase based on the preoperative measurement of eyeball extrusion. However, scholars have also discovered the limitations of following empirical formulas: due to the large individual differences in eyeball depression, the variability between observers in clinical evaluation is greater than that in radiological evaluation, which has certain limitations and is more variable in clinical evaluation. At the same time, current technology relies on traditional formulas, which are difficult to adapt to complex trauma situations (surgery, radiotherapy, etc.) and are not suitable for patients with both bony orbital volume enlargement and orbital soft tissue atrophy. Summary of the Invention

[0059] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

It should be noted that the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this article are used to distinguish different messages, devices, modules, etc., and do not represent the order of precedence, nor do they limit "first" and "second" to be different types.

[0061] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of a method for constructing an enophthalmos pathology estimation model provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

[0063] S101: Acquire an image set of an enophthalmos patient, wherein the image set includes images of the healthy side and the affected side of the eye socket;

[0064] S102: labeling the image set to obtain the orbital tissue area boundaries of the healthy side and the affected side, wherein the orbital tissue includes the eyeball, orbital fat, and any one or more of the following: extraocular muscles, optic nerve, cornea, and lacrimal gland;

[0065] S103: extracting the orbital cavity tissue volumes of the healthy side and the affected side based on the orbital cavity tissue region boundary, and calculating the orbital cavity tissue volume changes of the affected side and the healthy side;

[0066] S104: Using the image set as a training data set and the orbital tissue volume change as a prediction target, inputting the neural network model into the training to obtain a constructed enophthalmos lesion volume assessment model.

[0067] Currently, there are no reports at home or abroad on the application of precise tracing and quantitative assessment of orbital soft tissue volume based on CT / MRI data in the treatment of enophthalmos. The application of relevant soft tissue quantification is limited to non-traumatic diseases, such as patients with thyroid-associated eye disease. The characteristic of thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is proptosis due to increased volume of orbital fat and extraocular muscles.

[0068] Through clinical research on enophthalmos, the present applicant found that the core cause of enophthalmos deformity includes not only changes in orbital volume due to bony changes, but also changes in soft tissue volume within the orbital cavity due to trauma. Therefore, in order to further accurately evaluate the filling amount during filling treatment, the present applicant has done the following important work.

[0069] In some embodiments, we have innovatively manually traced more than 20 important orbital tissues (eyeball, optic nerve, extraocular muscles, etc.) ( Figure 7 As shown in the figure, we have completed the annotation of orbital soft tissue and calculation of orbital filling volume in 26 cases (26 eyes). Manual tracing took about 2 hours for each case and each eye, which was time-consuming. However, through manual tracing, we found that we have achieved accurate measurement of orbital soft tissue volume, and the obtained orbital filling volume is more in line with clinical reality.

[0070] The important orbital tissues related to sunken eyes include one or more of the following: extraocular muscles (6 on each side, for a total of 12), cornea (1 on each side, for a total of 2), optic nerve (1 on each side, for a total of 2), lacrimal gland (1 on each side, for a total of 2), eyeball (1 on each side, for a total of 2), and orbital fat (1 on each side, for a total of 2), totaling 22 types.

[0071] The extraocular muscles include the medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, superior oblique, and inferior oblique muscles; there are 6 on each side, for a total of 12 on the left and right sides.

[0072] In some embodiments, the annotations include: eyeball, orbital fat.

[0073] In some embodiments, the annotations include: eyeball, orbital fat, cornea, optic nerve.

[0074] In some embodiments, the labels include: eyeball, orbital fat, cornea, optic nerve, lacrimal gland, eyeball.

[0075] In some embodiments, the labels include: cornea, optic nerve, lacrimal gland, eyeball, orbital fat.

[0076] In some embodiments, the labels include: cornea, optic nerve, lacrimal gland, eyeball, orbital fat, and extraocular muscles.

[0077] In some embodiments, the marking method is as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the orbital tissues of the left eye and the right eye are marked respectively, with a total of 22 marked objects, such as Figure 7 As shown in Table 1:

[0078] Table 1 Orbital cavity tissue

[0079] Orbital tissue of the left eye Orbital tissue of the right eye Left eye lens / eyeball Right eye lens / eyeball Left optic nerve Right optic nerve Left tear gland Right lacrimal gland Left orbital fat Right orbital fat Left cornea Right cornea Left superior rectus muscle Right superior rectus muscle Left inferior rectus muscle Right inferior rectus muscle Left medial rectus muscle Right medial rectus muscle left lateral rectus muscle Right lateral rectus muscle Left superior oblique muscle Right superior oblique muscle Left inferior oblique muscle Right inferior oblique muscle

[0080] like Figure 6A 、6B 6C shows an example of annotation. We perform annotation on the CT image in the 3D reconstruction software. The annotated window is the upper left window, which displays the transverse section of the head image. The upper right window is the 3D window, which displays the reconstructed 3D image and orbital tissue after annotation. The lower left window displays the coronal section of the image.

[0081] After marking is completed, Figure 6D As shown, the 3D image corresponding to the CT image is obtained through 3D reconstruction, and the annotation is reflected in the reconstructed 3D image as follows: the annotated 3D orbital cavity tissue, and the annotated reconstructed 3D image can be seen by zooming in ( Figure 6E ) as shown.

[0082] In some embodiments, the proposed orbital filling volume is calculated based on the annotated reconstructed 3D image, wherein the calculation of the proposed filling volume only measures the difference in soft tissue volume between the affected side and the healthy side, and the calculation method is expressed as:

[0083] ΔV content =V affected-content -V healthy-content

[0084] Where, ΔV content Represents the volume change of orbital tissue, which is also our proposed filling volume, V affected V represents the volume of the orbital cavity tissue on the affected side. healthy represents the volume of orbital cavity tissue on the healthy side;

[0085] In some embodiments, the calculation of the proposed orbital cavity filling volume not only measures the difference in soft tissue volume between the affected and healthy sides, but also takes into account the difference in orbital volume caused by bony changes. In this case, the proposed orbital cavity filling volume is a relative volume change, expressed as:

[0086] RVD=ΔV orbital -ΔV content

[0087] Where RVD represents the relative volume change, ΔV orbital Indicates the change in orbital volume; ΔV content represents the volume change of orbital tissue, where

[0088] ΔV orbital The calculation method is expressed as:

[0089] ΔV orbital =V affected -V healthy

[0090] Where, ΔV orbital Indicates the change in orbital volume, V affected represents the orbital volume of the affected side, Vhealthy represents the orbital volume of the healthy side;

[0091] Since the above manual tracing is very slow, in order to improve the efficiency of extracting the orbital soft tissue volume by tracing, we use the image data of the completed manual tracing samples as the training set data, and the results of manual tracing as the output of the neural network to train the orbital soft tissue automatic segmentation model.

[0092] Then, we increased the sample size and first used the orbital soft tissue automatic segmentation model to preliminarily depict the orbital soft tissue to improve efficiency. Then, we manually corrected the orbital soft tissue depiction to reduce the depiction error and extract more simulated filling volume.

[0093] In some embodiments, in order to automatically extract the proposed filling volume, we use the image dataset as the training set data, and the extracted orbital tissue volume change as the label or training target of the deep learning model. After iterative training, we obtain a trained orbital tissue volume change model. The enophthalmos lesion volume assessment model we refer to here is this trained orbital tissue volume change model. The orbital tissue volume change model can output the orbital tissue volume change based on the newly input image of the enophthalmos patient, so that the doctor can determine the filling amount during filling treatment.

[0094] In some embodiments, the intended filling amount during treatment is the change in orbital tissue volume.

[0095] In some embodiments, we use the image dataset as the training set data, and the extracted orbital volume change as the label or training target of the deep learning model. After iterative training, a trained orbital volume change model is obtained. The enophthalmos lesion volume assessment model we refer to here is this trained orbital volume change model. The orbital volume change model can output the orbital volume change based on the newly input image of the enophthalmos patient, so that the doctor can determine the filling amount during filling treatment.

[0096] In some embodiments, the volume to be filled during treatment is the volume of the enophthalmos lesion, that is, the change in orbital volume.

[0097] Furthermore, the doctor can obtain the orbital tissue volume change and orbital volume change of the new patient to be tested based on the orbital tissue volume change model and the orbital volume change model, thereby obtaining the relative volume change of the orbit. The doctor determines the filling amount based on the relative volume change during filling treatment.

[0098] In some embodiments, the volume to be filled during treatment is the volume of the enophthalmos lesion, that is, the relative volume change.

[0099] In some embodiments, we use the image dataset as the training set data, and use the orbital relative volume change extracted from the training set data as the label or training target of the deep learning model. After iterative training, a trained orbital relative volume change model is obtained. The enophthalmos lesion volume assessment model we refer to here is this trained orbital relative volume change model. The orbital relative volume change model can output the orbital relative volume change based on the newly input image of the enophthalmos patient, so that the doctor can determine the filling amount during filling treatment.

[0100] In some embodiments, the volume to be filled during treatment is the volume of the enophthalmos lesion, that is, the relative volume change.

[0101] In some embodiments, due to different tolerances of patients to fillers and differences in the therapeutic effects of fillers, the actual filling amount used for treatment is obtained by correcting the lesion volume output by the model during actual treatment.

[0102] In this application, 3D digital technology is used to quantitatively analyze the volume of orbital soft tissue in patients with post-traumatic enophthalmos deformity, thereby achieving precise correction of enophthalmos deformity.

[0103] This study is based on the integration of medical and engineering cutting-edge technology. It innovatively applies a modified manual tracing and segmentation calculation method to quantitatively evaluate the pre-filled volume of the orbital cavity in patients with post-traumatic enophthalmos. It then trains a model to accurately correct enophthalmos caused by complex traumas such as training injuries or combat trauma. There have been no related reports at home or abroad.

[0104] For patients with complex post-traumatic enophthalmos deformity who have both orbital volume loss and orbital cavity volume enlargement, accurate quantitative filling can be achieved while predicting the treatment effect.

[0105] In some embodiments, the research methods include:

[0106] 1. Case collection: 80 patients (80 eyes) with post-traumatic enophthalmos deformity who required autologous particulate fat grafting were enrolled in the Department of Orbital Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology, the Third Medical Center, PLA General Hospital. The experimental group had the expected filling volume calculated using 3D quantification by digital manual tracing, while the control group had the expected filling volume calculated using the classical formula.

[0107] 2. Project Implementation:

[0108] Complete preoperative examination (orbital CT, MRI, visual acuity test, exophthalmos measurement, and accurate physical examination),

[0109] Preliminarily determine the location and range of eye adhesion, eye position, eye movement and degree of strabismus, and evaluate the visual acuity and visual function of the affected eye.

[0110] 3. Tracing method: Before and after surgery, 24 orbital structures, including the extraocular muscles, eyeball, and optic nerve, were manually traced and segmented using the VECTRA M3 3D Slicer based on CT Dicom data.

[0111] The volume of orbital soft tissue filling was quantitatively evaluated preoperatively.

[0112] 4. Reduce manual tracing errors: Three doctors with more than 10 years of clinical experience in orbital surgery manually traced the volume and took the average value (preliminary training).

[0113] In some embodiments, the training set and the volume corresponding to the marked orbital tissue structure are obtained through the above research, thereby calculating the change in the volume of the tissue in the affected orbit;

[0114] The training set images are input into the convolutional neural network to predict the change in the volume of the tissue in the orbital cavity on the affected side. The predicted value is compared with the measured value to reduce the error between the predicted value and the measured value for the optimization purpose. For example, the loss function adopts the MSE function, and the iteration is stopped after it is iterated and optimized for a certain number of times or the error is less than the expected value to obtain an eyeball sunken filling volume evaluation model. For new patients with eyeball sunken eyes, their eye images are input into the eyeball sunken filling volume evaluation model, and the estimated change in the volume of the tissue in the orbital cavity on the affected side is output. In the filling treatment of patients with orbital sunken eyes, the estimated change in the volume of the tissue in the orbital cavity on the affected side is used as the reference value for the surgical filling volume for treatment.
