Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical image processing, and in particular to a tumor survival analysis method based on multi-modal medical data fusion. Background Art

[0002] Glioblastoma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults, with characteristics such as high incidence, high recurrence rate, and high mortality rate. It is considered one of the tumors with relatively high treatment difficulty in the field of neurosurgery. Accurate preoperative quantitative assessment, grading diagnosis, gene typing, and survival prediction of glioblastoma are crucial for the treatment plan and prognosis prediction of patients.

[0003] In the survival analysis of glioblastoma patients, most traditional methods rely on single-modal data (such as pathological WSI images, MRI images, or gene RNAseq data), and it is difficult to comprehensively reflect the complexity of glioblastoma and its diverse biological characteristics, resulting in limited prediction accuracy. For example, MRI images can provide morphological information of tumors, but cannot reflect the molecular heterogeneity of tumors; pathological WSI images can reveal the cytomorphological characteristics of tumors, but lack information at the functional or molecular level; gene RNAseq data provides gene expression information of tumors, but lacks spatial information and cannot directly reflect the morphology or tissue structure of tumors. Therefore, single-modal data often cannot meet the needs of comprehensively analyzing glioblastoma.

[0004] In view of the complexity of glioblastoma, more and more studies in existing technical solutions have begun to focus on survival analysis methods based on multi-modal data fusion. Multi-modal data fusion aims to improve the accuracy and robustness of survival analysis by integrating information from different data sources. Existing multi-modal data fusion technologies mainly focus on how to effectively extract meaningful features from data of different modalities and fuse these features. Currently, there are two most common existing technical solutions: one is feature-level fusion. Feature-level fusion methods usually involve independently extracting features from each modality first, and then combining these features into a unified feature vector. Feature extraction methods mostly rely on manually designed feature extraction algorithms or use deep learning models (such as convolutional neural networks) for automatic feature learning. The extracted features are directly concatenated and then used for survival analysis modeling. The other is model-based fusion. Model-based fusion methods design a joint model to simultaneously process data from different modalities. These methods can directly perform feature extraction, fusion, and prediction within a unified network framework. For example, some deep learning models receive data of different modalities through a multi-input structure and perform information fusion through shared layers or branch networks within the model.

[0005] However, the existing technologies have the following disadvantages:

[0006] (1) The differences between data modalities are significant, resulting in high difficulty in feature extraction and inability to ensure the alignment of features from different modalities.

[0007] (2) The dimensionality of features from multiple modalities is large. The current tensor concatenation method is simple but fails to consider the heterogeneity between modalities, making it difficult to fully utilize the information between different modalities. While using the tensor fusion method can take into account the different information of data from different modalities, due to the use of the vector outer product fusion method, the data scale increases rapidly with the fused modalities, increasing the computational complexity. Existing data fusion methods fail to fully utilize the advantages of each modality, resulting in low accuracy of survival prediction.

[0008] (3) Existing methods lack strong evidence in terms of model interpretability, making it difficult to judge the key role played by multiple data in result inference and lacking interpretability. Summary of the Invention

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The objective of the present invention is to provide a tumor survival analysis method based on multi-modal medical data fusion, mainly to solve the problem of difficult prediction of the prognosis survival period of glioma patients. Glioma, as the most common primary intracranial tumor, accounts for about 80% of adult malignant tumors. Due to its characteristics such as high mortality, incidence, and recurrence rate, it is considered one of the most challenging and refractory tumors in neurosurgical treatment. Statistics show that the overall prognosis of glioblastoma is poor, the median survival period of patients is less than 15 months, and there is a large difference in the survival period of patients. The length of their survival period is affected by multiple factors such as tumor molecular factors, patient age, and tumor location and size. Therefore, accurate prognosis prediction and survival analysis are of great significance for the individualized treatment of patients. To make the above objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , a tumor survival analysis method based on multi-modal medical data fusion of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S1: Collect and preprocess multi-modal medical data of glioma patients through a data collection and preprocessing module. The multi-modal medical data includes MRI images, WSI images, and RNAseq gene data;

[0028] Step S2: Construct a survival analysis model. The survival analysis model includes a feature extraction module, a feature fusion module, and a survival analysis module. Respectively extract features from the preprocessed MRI images, preprocessed WSI images, and preprocessed RNAseq gene data through the feature extraction module to obtain MRI image features, WSI image features, and RNAseq gene data features;

[0029] Step S3: Perform dimensionality reduction and tensor fusion on the MRI image features, the WSI image features, and the RNAseq gene data features through the cross-modal Autoencoder network in the feature fusion module to generate fusion features;

[0030] Step S4: Input the fusion features into the FCN and Cox models through the survival analysis module for survival probability analysis.

[0031] The method of the present invention first extracts features from each modality data, then uses a cross-modal Autoencoder to perform dimensionality reduction and alignment of the features of each modality, generates a unified feature vector through tensor fusion, and finally uses a Cox regression model for survival analysis. This method can not only integrate the information of different modality data, but also effectively improve the prediction performance of survival analysis.

[0032] Optionally, in step S2, the feature extraction module respectively extracts features from the preprocessed MRI images, preprocessed WSI images, and preprocessed RNAseq gene data to obtain MRI image features, WSI image features, and RNAseq gene data features, including: using a ResNet50 network to extract features from the preprocessed MRI images to obtain MRI image features; using a HIPT network to extract features from the preprocessed WSI images to obtain WSI image features; using a gene-typing pre-trained FCN network to extract features from the preprocessed RNAseq gene data to obtain RNAseq gene data features.

[0033] Optionally, in step S3, the cross-modal Autoencoder network reduces the MRI image features, the WSI image features, and the RNAseq gene data features into three low-dimensional feature tensors and aligns them, and performs tensor fusion on the three aligned low-dimensional feature tensors to obtain fused features.

[0034] Optionally, the method further includes training the survival analysis model using a deep learning framework and avoiding overfitting through cross-validation and early stopping strategies.

[0035] Optionally, the training parameters of the survival analysis model are a learning rate of 0.001, the optimizer uses an Adam optimizer, the number of iteration rounds is 150 times, and the cross-validation uses 10-fold cross-validation.

[0036] Optionally, the method further includes performing model interpretability analysis on the survival analysis model through Attention Map and SHAP.

[0037] Specifically, the solution of the present invention is further described according to the following example:

[0038] 1. Data collection and preprocessing

[0039] Collect multi-modal medical data of glioma patients, including: MRI images, WSI images, and RNAseq gene data.

[0040] Specifically: Collect the magnetic resonance MR images of the brain of glioma patients, that is, MRI images, and uniformly save the data format as a.nii format file; collect the digital pathological images of H&E stained sections of glioma patients (Whole Slide Image, WSI), that is, WSI images, and uniformly save the data format as a.svs format file; collect the RNAseq gene data of glioma patients, and uniformly save the data format as an xlsx format.

[0041] For MRI images, for the T2 modality and FlAIR modality volume data, extract 5 slices at equal intervals respectively, and compress each single slice into an image of 224*224 pixels. Therefore, each patient corresponds to an MRI data of 10*1*224*224 (1 is the number of channels, because MRI is a grayscale image and the image channel is 1);

[0042] For WSI images, at a magnification of 20 times, the images are cropped into three sizes, namely 4096*4096 tissue-level patches, 256*256 cell-tissue-level patches, and 16*16 cell-feature-level patches;

[0043] For RNAseq gene data, obtain its standardized FPKM (Fragments Per Kilobase of exon per Million reads mapped) data. WGCNA (Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis) is a tool for exploring the interactions between genes and constructing a gene co-expression network. By associating the glioma classification phenotype data with genes, different gene modules are clustered hierarchically, and key genes within the modules are selected as potential biomarkers. In the survival analysis model of the present invention, WGCNA is used to screen for core genes strongly related to the glioma type of patients.

[0044] 2. Construction of the survival analysis model

[0045] a. Feature extraction module:

[0046] MRI feature extraction: The ResNet50 network can effectively avoid the problem of gradient disappearance, improve the depth and accuracy of feature extraction, has better accuracy compared with ResNet34, and at the same time has a relatively small computational complexity. In the survival analysis model of the present invention, it is used for the feature extraction of magnetic resonance MR images. The ResNet50 network pre-trained by MRI classification is used for the feature extraction of patients' MRIs, and a 1*2048-dimensional feature vector is obtained.

[0047] WSI Feature Extraction: HIPT (Hierarchical Image Pretraining Transformer) provides an efficient solution for processing WSI images, especially suitable for ultra-high-resolution images. Through hierarchical self-supervised learning, HIPT can reduce computational overhead and memory consumption when processing high-resolution images, while extracting fine-grained local features and global structure information. Its architecture based on Vision Transformer (ViT) can better model long-range dependencies, capture the complex relationships between cells and tissue structures in the image, and has a powerful self-supervised learning ability to perform pre-training on unlabeled data.

[0048] In addition, HIPT shows excellent accuracy in multiple medical image tasks, has strong transfer learning ability, and can adapt to different types of medical image data. It is an efficient and accurate feature extraction method for processing WSI images. In the survival analysis model of the present invention, the WSI is subjected to HIPT feature extraction to obtain a 1*384-dimensional feature vector.

[0049] RNAseq Feature Extraction: For the key genes that have been screened, a gene-typing pre-trained FCN (Fully Connected Network) is used for feature extraction to obtain a 1*512-dimensional feature vector.

[0050] b. Feature Fusion Module:

[0051] After feature extraction, the present invention realizes dimensionality reduction of the three-modal features and alignment and fusion between modalities through a cross-modal AutoEncoder. The feature vectors of each modality are connected to an AutoEncoder, and the output at the Encoder end is a 1*16-dimensional tensor used to represent the dimensionality-reduced features of each modality. Therefore, the data of the three modalities of MRI, WSI, and RNAseq each correspond to a dimensionality-reduced 1*16-dimensional tensor. The three dimensionality-reduced feature tensors are fused to obtain a final 1*4096-dimensional fusion feature for downstream tasks.

[0052] c. Survival Analysis Module:

[0053] The fusion feature is input into an FCN and a Cox model for survival probability analysis, and finally the survival probability of glioma patients is obtained.

[0054] It should be understood that the survival analysis model adopted by the present invention is a Cox regression model.

[0055] 3. Model Training

[0056] Train the established deep learning model, i.e., the survival analysis model, using the Pytorch (1.4.0) deep learning framework. Its training parameters are as follows: learning rate 0.001, Adam optimizer is adopted, the number of iterative rounds is 150, 10-fold cross-validation is used, and a learning strategy of early stopping is applied to avoid overfitting.

[0057] 4. Model interpretability

[0058] Interpretability analysis is carried out through Attention Map and SHAP (SHapley Additive explanation), which can show the data attention focus of the model's prediction of the patient's survival probability, as well as the contribution degree of different modality features to the result inference, having clinical significance and model interpretability.

[0059] In summary, the present invention effectively integrates and improves the accuracy of the fusion of MRI, WSI, and RNAseq modality data. For the feature extractors of individual modalities, they are replaceable and can be replaced at any time with feature extractors that have better effects for that modality. At the same time, a cross-modal AutoEncoder is designed, which can reduce the high-dimensional modality features to low-dimensional features and align the features of each modality, so that the fusion vector generated after passing through the feature fusion network can be as small as possible, solving the problem of information mismatch between modalities and effectively improving the prediction accuracy of the survival analysis model. The present invention shows stronger generalization ability on different data sets, can effectively avoid overfitting, and improves the accuracy of survival prediction for glioma patients.

[0060] As another example, the present invention also provides a tumor survival analysis system based on multi-modal medical data fusion, including:

[0061] A data collection and preprocessing module for collecting and preprocessing multi-modal medical data of glioma patients, where the multi-modal medical data includes MRI images, WSI images, and RNAseq gene data;
