Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pneumoconiosis nodule detection, and particularly to a method for detecting pneumoconiosis nodules. Background Art

[0002] Pneumoconiosis, also known as dust lung disease, is a disease caused by long-term inhalation of inorganic mineral dust, characterized by diffuse nodular or reticular fibrosis of the lung tissue. The causes are often attributed to occupational or environmental factors, such as silica dust, asbestos dust or carbon black dust, etc. Pneumoconiosis is divided into many types, such as silicosis, coal worker's pneumoconiosis, graphite pneumoconiosis, asbestosis, etc. The incidence factors are related to factors such as dust particle size, dust concentration, and exposure time.

[0003] When diagnosing existing pneumoconiosis nodules, it takes a long time to confirm the diagnosis. Pneumoconiosis nodules are difficult to diagnose in the early stage. To further improve the detection efficiency of pneumoconiosis nodules, a method for detecting pneumoconiosis nodules is proposed. By summarizing the medical visit information and examination reports of diagnosing pneumoconiosis nodules in each hospital to form case information, a component analysis model performs machine learning on the pathological information and extracts information features, thereby assisting doctors in making judgments, improving the diagnosis efficiency, and being able to understand and statistically analyze the medical visit information of patients with confirmed pneumoconiosis nodules, so as to identify high-risk groups and conduct key detections on patients with specific occupational histories, exposure to specific dust types, etc., so as to avoid misdiagnosis while excluding other diseases. The diagnostic detection method ranges from non-invasive to invasive, from basic to advanced, which can reduce the detection cost while being more comprehensive and reduce the misdiagnosis probability.

If there is no abnormality, a judgment of no pneumoconiosis nodules is given. If the high-resolution CT results are abnormal, if small nodules, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and early lesions are shown, pathological examination is carried out if necessary to distinguish between lung cancer and tuberculosis for diagnosis. If there is no abnormality, a judgment of no pneumoconiosis nodules is given;

[0009] S5: After the patient's diagnosis is completed, the sensitive information of the patient can be deleted, and the case information for model learning is constructed and imported into the pneumoconiosis nodule detection and analysis model for diagnostic learning.

Clean the sensitive information of patients and import the model learning case information into the pneumoconiosis nodule detection and analysis model. The model can extract and summarize and compare the occupational history of dust exposure, type of dust exposure, working years and protective measures, clinical symptoms, gender and age information of patients, so as to clarify the high-risk occupational types, high-risk dust types, high-risk working years and protective measures, high-risk clinical symptoms, high-risk gender and age information. The closer the patient information is to the high-risk model in the model, the higher the risk of pneumoconiosis nodules is judged.

[0025] S2: Conduct a preliminary diagnosis. The visiting patients fill in the basic information and undergo inflammatory markers, biomarker tests, sputum tests and pulmonary function tests according to the information. Import the basic information, laboratory test results and pulmonary function test results of the patients into the pneumoconiosis nodule detection and analysis model for comparison, so as to give a judgment result to assist doctors in making a preliminary diagnosis. The basic information includes the occupational history of dust exposure, type of dust exposure, working years and protective measures, clinical symptoms, gender and age information of the patients.

[0026] S3: Classified screening. If there is no hidden danger in the inspection result, a judgment of no pneumoconiosis nodules is given. If the hidden danger is small, continue with X-ray chest film detection for preliminary screening. If the hidden danger is large, continue with high-resolution CT detection for precise screening.

[0027] S4: Screening analysis. If the X-ray chest film detection result is abnormal, with round small shadows or irregular shadows, pathological examination is carried out if necessary to distinguish lung cancer and tuberculosis for confirmation. If there is no abnormality, a judgment of no pneumoconiosis nodules is given. If the high-resolution CT detection result is abnormal, if small nodules, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and early lesions are shown, pathological examination is carried out if necessary to distinguish lung cancer and tuberculosis for confirmation. If there is no abnormality, a judgment of no pneumoconiosis nodules is given.

[0028] S5: Build learning information. After the patient's diagnosis is completed, the sensitive information of the patient can be deleted, and the model learning case information is formed and imported into the pneumoconiosis nodule detection and analysis model for diagnostic learning.
