Especially for pelvic tissues, due to their deep location and complex structure, it is difficult for traditional imaging methods to achieve high-sensitivity and specific injury diagnosis. Tissue injury will cause the destruction of cell membrane integrity, changes in ion concentration and abnormal water distribution, which will in turn cause changes in dielectric properties, such as dielectric constant and conductivity. Dielectric spectroscopy analysis technology provides a new idea for non-invasive detection of deep tissue injury by detecting the electromagnetic response characteristics of tissues in a wide frequency range.

Thus, the phrases "in an embodiment", "in embodiments", "an example" or "examples" that appear throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable combination and / or sub-combination in one or more embodiments or examples. Further, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the diagrams provided herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 , embodiments of the present invention provide a deep tissue damage detection method based on dielectric spectroscopy analysis, and the method includes the following steps: S1. Obtain the complex dielectric constant spectrum of the pelvic tissue to be measured.
[0021] In one embodiment, first use a vector network analyzer as a signal source to generate a swept electromagnetic wave signal with a frequency range of 1 MHz - 10 GHz; at the same time, place the transmitting antenna on one side of the surface of the pelvic tissue to be measured, ensuring good coupling between the antenna and the tissue surface to reduce signal loss. It should be noted that the pelvic tissue belongs to deep tissue, located in the lower part of the abdominal cavity, containing reproductive, urinary, and part of the digestive organs, and is relatively deep.
[0022] Further, place a receiving antenna on the other side of the pelvic tissue to be measured for receiving the transmitted signal; at the same time, set up a reflected signal receiving device near the transmitting antenna to obtain the reflected signal.
[0023] It should be noted that when the electromagnetic wave signal is emitted from the transmitting antenna and passes through the pelvic tissue to be measured, it will inevitably pass through the surface tissue first, and the surface tissue will reflect, scatter, and absorb the signal, so that the received transmitted signal and reflected signal contain the information of the surface tissue. If the signal of the surface tissue is not separated, the signal characteristics of the pelvic tissue to be measured itself cannot be accurately obtained.
[0024] Further, based on the transmitted signal and the reflected signal, design a time-frequency joint sparse reconstruction algorithm. The time-frequency joint sparse reconstruction algorithm combines the information in the time domain and the frequency domain and uses the sparsity of the signal to reconstruct the original signal. In the present invention, this algorithm separates the pelvic tissue signal to be measured and the surface tissue signal from the mixed signal of the transmitted signal and the reflected signal by constructing and solving an optimization problem. For this algorithm, construct the following optimization problem: , where Denote the received signal vector, which contains the transmitted signal and the reflected signal; is the observation matrix, which describes the observation method of the signal during the measurement process and maps the original signal space to the observation signal space. is the sparse transformation matrix, which transforms the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain, making the signal exhibit sparsity in the frequency domain. 、 Denote the regularization parameter, which is used to control the performance of the reconstructed signal in terms of fidelity, sparsity, and smoothness. is the sparse signal vector to be reconstructed. is an element in the sparse signal vector. 、 Denote the index numbers of the row vector and the column vector respectively. is a very small positive number, which is used to avoid the denominator being zero. It should be noted that the core of this algorithm is to utilize the sparsity of the signal in the time-frequency domain, construct an optimization problem with composite regularization, and achieve signal separation by solving this problem.
[0025] Furthermore, by using the time-frequency joint sparse reconstruction algorithm, the sparse signal vector is solved. Then, using the time-frequency mask, the pelvic tissue signal to be measured and the surface tissue signal and are separated. The time-frequency mask is a key separation technique in signal processing, which is used to extract the target component from the mixed signal. In the problem of separating pelvic signals and surface tissue signals, the role of the mask is to distinguish the different distribution characteristics of the two types of signals in the time-frequency domain.
[0026] Furthermore, perform the inverse sparse transformation to obtain the separated pelvic tissue signal to be measured and surface tissue signal.
[0027] Specifically, let the separated pelvic tissue signal to be measured be , and the surface tissue signal be , which can be expressed as: , , where denotes the inverse transformation of the sparse transformation matrix , and denote the signals corresponding to the pelvic tissue to be measured and the surface tissue in the sparse signal vector respectively, denotes time.
[0028] The advantage of this method lies in accurately distinguishing the time-frequency characteristics of pelvic tissue and surface tissue signals through joint time-frequency sparse reconstruction and mask separation, achieving high-precision signal separation. Among them, the inverse sparse transform restores the original signal, effectively improving the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution, providing purer tissue characteristic information for medical diagnosis, and having significant clinical value.
[0029] Furthermore, a deep generative adversarial network dielectric inversion model is established.
[0030] Specifically, the time-domain signal and the frequency-domain signal obtained through Fourier transform are concatenated into a joint feature vector: , where is the joint feature vector, is the frequency-domain amplitude spectrum, is the frequency.
[0031] Furthermore, a deep generative adversarial network structure is designed, and the deep generative adversarial network structure includes a generator and a discriminator.
[0032] Specifically, the generator takes the joint feature vector and the random noise as inputs and outputs the complex permittivity spectrum :
[0033]
[0034] where is the real part of the complex permittivity, representing the ability to store electrical energy, is the imaginary part of the complex permittivity, representing the ability to consume electrical energy, represents the tissue depth, is the frequency, are the generator parameters, is the generator, and the random noise follows a Gaussian distribution .
[0035] Furthermore, the discriminator takes the real permittivity data or the generated data as inputs and outputs the discrimination probability: , where is the discriminator, is the input data, including the real permittivity data and the generated data, are the discriminator parameters, is the discrimination probability.
[0036] Furthermore, a loss function is designed, and the losses involved in the loss function include the generator loss and the discriminator loss.
[0037] Specifically, the generator loss includes the adversarial loss and the physical constraint loss; The generator loss includes the adversarial loss and the physical constraint loss; , Among them, represents the generator loss, represents the adversarial loss, represents the physical constraint loss, 、 are weight coefficients. The physical constraint loss is as follows: , Among them, is the electric field strength, is the frequency, is the depth, satisfies the following expression:
[0038] Among them, is the wave number, is the speed of light, is the complex permittivity spectrum. The adversarial loss is expressed as the negative log-likelihood that the generated sample is judged by the discriminator to be a real sample, that is:
[0039] Among them, is the noise vector, is the noise distribution, is the sample generated by the generator, is the discriminator's discrimination result for the generated sample, is the mathematical expectation.
[0040] Furthermore, the discriminator loss is as follows: , Among them, is the discriminator's loss, is the dielectric constant data of the real sample, is the discriminator's discrimination result for the real sample data, is the noise vector, is the additional conditional input information, is the probability that the discriminator believes the sample is real, is the generator according to the conditional input and the noise vector The generated forged samples are used as the input of the discriminator to train the discriminator's ability to recognize forged samples.
[0041] Furthermore, based on the above deep generative adversarial network structure, considering the losses of the generator and the discriminator, a deep generative adversarial network dielectric inversion model is established. The deep generative adversarial network dielectric inversion model includes a generator, a discriminator, a generator loss, and a discriminator loss. The deep generative adversarial network dielectric inversion model is a non-linear inversion method based on adversarial learning, which is used to reconstruct the vertical distribution of dielectric constants from observed data. Its core idea is to achieve high-precision and high-resolution dielectric parameter inversion through the adversarial training of the generator and the discriminator, combined with physical constraints.
[0042] Furthermore, the depth is discretized layer by layer into , and the generator outputs a multi-dimensional tensor: , where each layer corresponds to an independent physical constraint loss , is the frequency, is the depth of the th layer, is the additional conditional input information, is the noise vector, is the generator parameter, is the complex dielectric constant spectrum corresponding to different layer depths.
[0043] Furthermore, model training is carried out, including the following steps: Randomly initialize and ; Iterative training: Fix , update , and minimize ; Fix , update , and minimize ; Judgment of termination: When the error between the generated data and the real data is less than , the iteration stops. Here,
[0044] Furthermore, after training is completed, the generator can directly predict the dielectric constant of any input signal : , where the noise Reset, is the optimal parameter.
[0045] The advantage of this method is that through the adversarial training of the generator and discriminator, combined with hierarchical physical constraints, high-precision and high-resolution dielectric parameter inversion is achieved, overcoming the problems of existing methods relying on linear approximation and low computational efficiency. At the same time, through end-to-end prediction and hierarchical adaptive optimization, the accuracy and generalization ability of the vertical distribution reconstruction of pelvic tissues are significantly improved, and the dependence on a large amount of labeled data is reduced.
[0046] S2. Establish an improved Debye model based on the complex dielectric constant spectrum.
[0047] In one embodiment, first, for each depth of the complex dielectric constant spectrum is decomposed to identify the existing relaxation processes, including low-frequency relaxation and high-frequency relaxation .
[0048] Furthermore, through the particle swarm optimization algorithm, the relaxation time and and their distribution coefficients and are extracted.
[0049] Furthermore, analyze the variation law of the relaxation time with depth to establish the and depth-dependent models.
[0050] Specifically, the depth-dependent model of is as follows: the depth-dependent model of is as follows: where , are scale parameters for controlling the initial amplitude of the relaxation time, , are attenuation rates describing the variation of the relaxation time with depth, , represent the offset, indicating the baseline value of the relaxation time when the depth approaches infinity.
[0051] Furthermore, through the and depth-dependent models, the depth-dependent relaxation time distribution characteristics are obtained.
[0052] Further, according to the extracted relaxation time distribution characteristics, an improved bipolar Cole-Cole model is established, and the improved bipolar Cole-Cole model satisfies the following expression: , where is the complex permittivity at different depths and different frequencies , is the high-frequency limit permittivity, , are the DC permittivities related to the depth , , are the relaxation times dependent on the depth , , are the distribution coefficients, is the static ionic conductivity, is the vacuum permittivity.
[0053] Further, the model parameters are determined by fitting experimental data.
[0054] First, for deep tissue detection, corresponding samples are selected. A vector network analyzer equipped with a minimally invasive dielectric probe is used to collect time-domain voltage signals and frequency-domain amplitude spectra at 1 mm depth intervals within the target frequency band of 1 MHz - 10 GHz, constructing a multi-depth and multi-frequency experimental dataset. Based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm, first, according to the prior dielectric characteristics of normal / lesion tissues, the initial search ranges of model parameters ( , , , , etc.) are set. The candidate parameter values are substituted into the improved bipolar Cole-Cole model, and the mean square error between the calculated output complex permittivity and the measured data is used as the fitness. The particles iteratively adjust their positions until the mean square error is less than 0.01 or the iteration reaches 1000 times. Finally, 20% of the independently collected sample data is used for verification. If the correlation coefficient between the predicted complex permittivity of the model and the measured value is greater than 0.95, the parameters are determined for use as input feature constraints for the depth generative adversarial network (such as the initial conditions of the generator and the real sample labels of the discriminator), supporting the inversion of the complex permittivity. If not satisfied, the sample stratification strategy or algorithm parameters are adjusted for re-fitting.
[0055] The improvements of this method are as follows: First, by introducing the depth functions of relaxation time and permittivity, the existing uniform medium assumption is broken through, and the dielectric gradient change of pelvic biological tissues is accurately characterized; second, by separating high-frequency molecular polarization and low-frequency interfacial polarization through the double relaxation terms and combining the dynamic distribution coefficients, the fitting accuracy of complex relaxation spectra is significantly improved; third, by considering the static conductivity, the distortion problem of the existing model in the low-frequency region is solved, especially suitable for the detection of high-water-content tissues.
[0056] S3. Use the improved bipolar Cole-Cole model to establish the mapping relationship between tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage.
[0057] In one embodiment, use the improved bipolar Cole-Cole model to establish a mapping model between tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage, and the mapping model between the tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage satisfies the following expression: , where, is the degree of tissue damage at depth , is the complex dielectric constant at different depths and different frequencies , is the high-frequency limit dielectric constant, , is the DC dielectric constant related to depth , , is the relaxation time dependent on depth , , are distribution coefficients, is the static ionic conductivity, is the vacuum permittivity, , , are weighting coefficients, is an offset constant used to adjust the reference level of the degree of damage to ensure that the model output is consistent with the observed data.
[0058] Furthermore, through the mapping model, obtain the mapping relationship between the tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage, that is, the one-to-one correspondence between the tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage.
[0059] It should be noted that although the above mapping model is beneficial for quickly screening tissues with damage, it does not solve the problems of why the damage occurs and how to intervene.
[0060] The advantage of this method is that through the mapping model between tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage, the accurate quantification of the degree of tissue damage is realized, with higher accuracy, adaptability and real-time performance.
[0061] S4. Based on the mapping relationship, establish the damage determination function of the pelvic tissue to be measured.
[0062] To solve the defect problem of the mapping model in step S3, in one embodiment, based on the mapping relationship between tissue dielectric parameters and the degree of damage at different depths, establish the damage determination function of the pelvic tissue to be measured, and the damage determination function is as follows: , Among them, is the damage determination value of the hierarchical damage determination function, represents at the th characteristic frequency and the multi-damage state quantity the dielectric constant under, represents at the th characteristic frequency and the multi-damage state variable the conductivity under, represents at the th characteristic frequency and the multi-damage state variable the loss factor under, , , represent the frequency and damage-dependent weight coefficients, , represent the multi-damage compensation coefficients, represents the tissue density, represents the moisture content, , represent the frequency-dependent quadratic coefficients, represents the damage-related offset term, represents the number of characteristic frequency points, , is the non-linear correction exponent, is the damage interaction term coefficient, is the characteristic function of the th kind of damage, is the characteristic function of the th kind of damage, the damage state variable includes temperature, pressure and mechanical strain.
[0063] The advantage of this method is that by establishing a multi-parameter and multi-frequency damage determination function, integrating dielectric properties, tissue parameters and multi-physical field variables, and introducing non-linear correction and damage interaction terms, the accuracy and dynamic adaptability of pelvic tissue damage assessment are significantly improved, overcoming the defect of insufficient analysis of complex damage states by existing models.
[0064] S5. Use the damage determination function to obtain the determination results of the damage level and damage type of the pelvic tissue to be measured.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 , in one embodiment, first use the damage determination function to obtain the damage determination value .
[0066] Furthermore, the damage level is determined by using the damage determination value; Specifically, the thresholds of the damage determination value are set, including a low threshold , a medium threshold , and a high threshold ; Furthermore, the damage determination value is compared with the thresholds to obtain the following comparison results: When , it is in the normal state level, that is, the pelvic tissue remains basically intact without obvious signs of damage; When , it is in the mild damage level, that is, the pelvic tissue has minor damage, but the tissue function can still be maintained and time is needed for maintenance; When , it is in the moderate damage level, that is, the pelvic tissue damage is relatively obvious and the tissue function is affected to a certain extent, and timely repair is required.
[0067] When , it is in the severe damage level, that is, the pelvic tissue is severely damaged and large-scale repair is needed.
[0068] Furthermore, the damage feature functions are extracted , including the temperature damage feature function , the pressure damage feature function , and the ischemic damage feature function . They satisfy the following expressions: , , , where is the current tissue temperature, is the normal physiological temperature, is the pressure applied to the current tissue, is the critical pressure tolerated by the tissue, is the current blood perfusion volume, is the normal blood perfusion volume.
