Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an early warning method, system, device and storage medium for acute aortic syndrome, and belongs to the technical field of medical image processing. Background Art

[0002] Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS) is a group of life-threatening aortic emergencies, mainly including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma of the aorta and penetrating aortic ulcer. These diseases have similar pathophysiological mechanisms, that is, the integrity of the aortic wall is damaged, resulting in blood entering the aortic wall layer or wall, which may lead to fatal complications such as aortic rupture.

[0003] At present, Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is recognized as the gold standard for diagnosing AAS. CTA can clearly show the aortic lumen, wall and its surrounding structures, and the sensitivity to aortic dissection can reach 90-100%, and the specificity can reach 87-100%. However, CTA examination has some limitations: First, it requires intravenous injection of iodine contrast agent, which may pose a risk of contrast-induced nephropathy to patients with renal insufficiency; Second, some patients may be allergic to iodine contrast agent, and in severe cases, even anaphylactic shock may occur; In addition, CTA examination requires special equipment and trained technical personnel, which may delay the diagnosis time in emergency situations.

[0004] In contrast, non-contrast CT is often used as a preliminary screening method for emergency patients due to its advantages such as simplicity, rapidity, and no need for contrast agent. Non-contrast CT has unique value in the diagnosis of intramural hematoma of the aorta, and can clearly show aortic wall thickening (>5mm) and high-density crescent shadow. However, the overall diagnostic sensitivity of non-contrast CT for AAS is relatively low, only 60-80%, especially in the diagnosis of aortic dissection, false negative results are prone to occur. These limitations may lead to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, delaying the timely treatment of patients. Summary of the Invention

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Embodiment 1:

[0062] This embodiment provides an acute aortic syndrome early warning method for generating CTA images based on CT plain scan images. Refer to Figure 1 , the method includes:

[0063] Step 1: Obtain aortic CT images.

[0064] The aortic CT images include aortic dissection, intramural hematoma of the aortic wall, and CT images of penetrating aortic ulcer.

[0065] Step 2: Preprocess the aortic CT images and extract the region of interest containing the aorta.

[0066] Data preprocessing includes: window width and window level adjustment, image normalization, image enhancement, and ROI extraction; specifically, for different types of CT images, the window width and window level are adjusted according to different standards to highlight more tissue structures and ensure that the model can recognize more features; image normalization converts the image pixel values to a unified range to avoid increasing the difficulty of model training due to different image ranges; image enhancement methods include rotation, translation, scaling, flipping, etc., which are used to enhance the generalization ability of the model; ROI extraction is to extract the region of interest containing the aorta.

[0067] Step 3: Based on the preprocessed image, use the cascaded generative adversarial network model to generate CTA images.

[0068] Among them, the generative adversarial network (GAN) module includes a generator, a discriminator, and a frequency perception module, and through the game learning between the generator and the discriminator, good outputs are produced.

[0069] The generator is used to learn from the data distribution and generate images as similar as possible to the training data. The generator is usually represented by G. The calculation formula for using the generator to generate images is expressed as:

[0070] G(z; θ G ) = σ(W L h L-1 +b L )

[0071] In the above formula, z is a random noise vector, usually sampled from a simple distribution, such as a standard normal distribution or a uniform distribution, and mapped to the generated image space. θ G represents the set of parameters of the generator model. σ is the activation function. W L is the weight matrix. b L is the bias vector. h L-1 = σ(W L-1 h L-2 +b L-1 ) is the hidden state calculated by the neurons in the previous layer.

[0072] The generator G is optimized by minimizing its loss function. The formula is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] Among them, D(G(z)) is the discriminator's judgment on the generated image, indicating the probability that the generated image G(z) is judged as "real". represents the expectation of the noise vector z following the distribution p z (z). p z (z) represents the prior distribution of the noise vector z.

[0075] The discriminator is used to distinguish whether the generated samples are highly similar to the paired reference images or false ones that are different from the reference images. The discriminator is usually denoted by D, and the formula for using the discriminator to discriminate images is expressed as:

[0076] D(x; θ D ) = σ(U M k M-1 + v M )

[0077] In the above formula, x represents the input image, which comes from the real data distribution or the image generated by the generator, and θ D represents the set of parameters of the discriminator model, U M is the weight matrix, v M is the bias vector, k M-1 = σ(U M-1 k M-2 + v M-1 ) is the hidden state calculated by the neurons in the previous layer.

[0078] The goal of the discriminator D is to maximize the probability of correctly judging real and generated images, and the formula is as follows:

[0079]

[0080] where p data (x) is the distribution of the real data, D(x) is the probability that the discriminator recognizes the real image x as "real", represents the expectation that the real sample x follows the real data distribution, D(G(z)) is the probability that the discriminator recognizes the generated image G(z) as "real", represents the expectation that the noise vector z follows the noise distribution p z (z).

[0081] Through the adversarial optimization of the generator and the discriminator, the generator continuously improves the quality of the generated images, while the discriminator continuously improves the ability to distinguish true and false images. The optimization goal of the entire network is expressed by the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] The frequency perception module converts the input image into a feature map with precise resolution through blocks with residual connections. Each block involves frequency feature extraction and convolutional blocks, and there is a central residual connection. This design of frequency extraction enhances the model's ability to capture complex details and further enhances the perception ability of microvascular generation. The residual connection helps to effectively learn and distinguish local and global features, contributing to the evaluation of image authenticity.

[0084] Among them, frequency feature extraction obtains different frequency components through the discrete cosine transform (DCT), and each global frequency component can be expressed as:

[0085]

[0086] In the above formula, f h,w is the two-dimensional DCT spectrum, H represents the height of the input signal, W represents the width of the input signal, x i,j is the input signal, i and j are the corresponding height and width, h represents the frequency component index in the vertical direction, w represents the frequency component index in the horizontal direction, c(h) and c(w) respectively represent the normalization coefficients of the frequency components in the vertical and horizontal directions, H ∈ {0, 1..., h - 1}, W ∈ {0, 1..., w - 1}.

[0087] Furthermore, the input channel X is divided into multiple parts [X 0 , X 1 ,..., X n-1 , and the corresponding two-dimensional DCT frequency components are assigned to each part to obtain each local frequency component, which is calculated as follows:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, represents the pixel value of channel X i at position (h, w), represents the weight of the DCT basis function at frequency (u, v) and spatial position (h, w), [u, v] is the frequency component index corresponding to the input variable X i , and the cosine calculation formula corresponding to p is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] Finally, the complete frequency can be expressed as:

[0092] F = cat([F 0 , F 1 ,..., F n-1 )

[0093] Among them, cat represents the concatenation operation, and the attention feature vector of the frequency domain channel attention mechanism adopting the DCT mode can be further expressed as:

[0094] Att dct = sigmoid(f c (F))

[0095] In the above formula, the left side represents the attention feature vector, and the right side represents the complete connection layer. f c (·) represents the fully connected layer.

[0096] Step 4: Use the deep learning classification model DenseNet to extract key information features from the CTA images generated in Step 3, and output the classification results of aortic syndrome.

[0097] In this embodiment, a classification experiment will be conducted on the synthetic CTA images of the aorta, and the classification model used is DenseNet121. As Figure 5 shown, the DenseNet network has 4 stages, and each stage contains a dense block and a transition layer (the last stage only has a dense block). The initial input image is x input , and the output after the first dense block and transition layer is z1, and the output after the second dense block and transition layer is z2, and so on.

[0098] The dense block consists of a batch normalization layer, a ReLU activation function, and a convolutional layer, and the specific formula is expressed as:

[0099] x l = Conv l (ReLU(BN l (x l-1 )))

[0100] where x l-1 is the input of the l-th layer. When l = 1, x l-1 = x0.

[0101] The transition layer consists of a batch normalization layer, a ReLU activation function, a convolutional layer, and an average pooling layer, and the specific formula is expressed as:

[0102] z = AvgPool(Conv 1×1 (ReLU(BN trans (y L ))))

[0103] where y L is the output of the last layer of the dense block, BN trans is the batch normalization layer, Conv 1×1 is a convolutional layer with a size of 1×1, AvgPool is the average pooling layer, the pooling kernel size is 2×2, and the stride is 2.

[0104] In this embodiment, CTA images are generated based on non-contrast-enhanced CT images, and a deep learning model is further constructed to warn of acute aortic syndrome (AAS). High-quality CTA images can be generated without using contrast agents, reducing the risks that patients may suffer from contrast agent examinations. It is especially suitable for patients with impaired renal function or contrast agent allergies; using deep learning technology, it provides fast and accurate diagnosis of AAS, effectively improving the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis.

[0105] This embodiment uses a modular design, which is convenient for direct integration with existing medical imaging systems, improving the flexibility and promotion ability of practical applications. It can optimize the entire process of image generation and diagnosis, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the model. It is particularly suitable for high-risk medical applications such as emergency scenarios and preoperative screening. Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an economical and efficient alternative solution, reducing the dependence on traditional CTA examination equipment and professional personnel, and having significant clinical application value and social benefits.

[0111] The generative adversarial network model includes a generator, a discriminator, and a frequency perception module. The frequency perception module uses a frequency feature extraction unit and a convolutional module, and simultaneously integrates a central residual connection mechanism to extract frequency information. The frequency feature extraction unit uses the discrete cosine transform to obtain different frequency components, and the calculation formula for each frequency component is expressed as:

[0112]

[0113] where f h,w is the two-dimensional DCT spectrum, h ∈ {0, 1..., h - 1}, w ∈ {0, 1..., w - 1}x i,j is the input signal, and i and j are the corresponding height and width.

Other image synthesis methods are selected for comparison with the synthesis method of the present invention to verify the superiority of the synthesis method proposed by the present invention.

[0117] In this embodiment, an image synthesis experiment was performed on aortic dissection images. 3D computed tomography images of available aortic dissections were collected, with 80 used as samples and the remaining 20 used as test samples.
