Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cartilage injury identification, and particularly to a cartilage injury identification system and method based on multi-modal deep learning. Background Art

[0002] Patellar cartilage is a piece of cartilage located in front of the kneecap. Its main function is to reduce friction between bones, while providing cushioning and stability. Knee patellar cartilage injury is a common sports injury, usually caused by intense exercise or trauma.

[0003] Generally, the severity of knee patellar cartilage injury is usually divided into four levels:

[0004] 1. Grade 1 injury: Grade 1 knee patellar cartilage injury is usually referred to as cartilage edema. This type of injury is usually caused by overuse or exercise, resulting in partial damage and edema of the cartilage tissue. Patients may experience knee pain and discomfort, but the symptoms can usually be relieved through rest and physical therapy.

[0005] 2. Grade 2 injury: Grade 2 knee patellar cartilage injury is usually referred to as cartilage laceration. This type of injury is more severe than Grade 1 and is usually caused by intense exercise or trauma. Patients may experience obvious knee pain, swelling, and a sense of instability. Treatment usually includes physical therapy, local cold compress, and drug treatment.

[0006] 3. Grade 3 injury: Grade 3 knee patellar cartilage injury is usually referred to as cartilage tear. This type of injury involves severe damage and tearing of the cartilage tissue, resulting in the formation of fragments or flakes in the joint cavity. Patients may experience severe knee pain, swelling, and limited joint movement. Treatment usually requires surgical intervention to repair the injury.

[0007] 4. Grade 4 injury: Grade 4 knee patellar cartilage injury is usually referred to as cartilage wear. This type of injury involves severe wear of the cartilage tissue, resulting in direct contact and friction between the bones, causing pain, swelling, and severe functional impairment in the joint. Treatment usually requires joint replacement surgery to repair the damaged cartilage tissue.

[0008] Exemplarily, the Chinese invention patent publication text CN113392895A proposes a method and system for detecting knee joint cartilage damage. The method includes: acquiring knee joint MRI image information and preprocessing the image information; layer-by-layer extracting the cartilage damage area from the preprocessed image information to obtain the three-dimensional volume area of the knee joint cartilage; layer-by-layer extracting the region of interest of cartilage damage to obtain the three-dimensional area of cartilage damage; extracting the features of the three-dimensional region of interest, training a classifier network using a neural network method to determine the optimal model; inputting the knee joint MRI image information into the optimal model to perform cartilage damage detection and determine the degree of cartilage damage. It has good robustness, is fast and convenient, and is suitable for assisting doctors in diagnosis.

[0009] Exemplarily, the Chinese invention patent publication text CN109741352A proposes a method for segmenting cartilage damage repair images based on multimodal magnetic resonance. The method includes the following steps: S1: extracting the cartilage detection area of the cartilage damage repair image of multimodal magnetic resonance; S2: acquiring the MRI image in the cartilage detection area of the cartilage damage repair image of multimodal magnetic resonance; S3: performing edge detection on the grayscale image; S4: based on SVM edge classification; S5: based on SVM edge segmentation. In the present invention, after extracting the cartilage detection area of the cartilage damage repair image of multimodal magnetic resonance, SVM edge classification and segmentation are performed, achieving the purpose of segmenting the cartilage damage repair image based on multimodal magnetic resonance, which is of great significance and can enable relevant personnel to judge the cartilage damage repair image more precisely and correctly.

[0010] However, the above-mentioned cartilage damage recognition solutions either do not involve patellar cartilage damage recognition and do not use multimodal data, or only use multimodal data to repair and subdivide nuclear magnetic resonance images without performing patellar cartilage damage recognition, resulting in a lack of multimodal data support in the subfield of intelligent recognition of patellar cartilage damage in the prior art, and at the same time lacking a reliable artificial intelligence model. Furthermore, in the prior art, it is impossible to quickly and effectively provide the degree of patellar cartilage damage of each patient in a non-destructive manner, and naturally it is impossible to provide each patient with a corresponding reliable injury treatment strategy.

[0021] Obtain the knee occupancy image in the frontal imaging image of the knee of the current patient;

[0022] Obtain the duration of patellar cartilage injury, gender data, thigh length data, calf length data, age data, and weight data of the current patient as multiple pieces of patellar cartilage-related data of the current patient;

[0039] Figure 7It is a flowchart of the steps of a cartilage injury recognition method based on multimodal deep learning shown in the sixth embodiment of the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, a schematic diagram of the working principle of a cartilage injury recognition system and method based on multimodal deep learning shown in the present invention is given.

[0041] The specific technical process of the present invention is as follows:

[0042] Technical process A: To complete the intelligent recognition of the patellar cartilage injury level of the current patient, an artificial intelligence model obtained after deep learning is designed;

[0043] Specifically, the artificial intelligence model obtained after deep learning is an intelligent injury recognition model. The intelligent injury recognition model is a feedforward neural network after deep learning operations and the number of learning times exceeds the set number of learning times, thus completing deep learning;

[0044] And specifically, the number of learning times in the deep learning operations passed by the feedforward neural network is monotonically positively correlated with the age data of the current patient, so as to customize artificial intelligence models with different structures for different patients;

[0045] And specifically, in each learning performed on the feedforward neural network, the known patellar cartilage injury level of a certain patient is used as the single-item output content of the feedforward neural network, and the customized visual information corresponding to the T1WI-SAG cartilage image, PDW-SAG cartilage image, PDW-COR cartilage image, T2WI-SPAI R-TRA cartilage image and knee occupancy image of the certain patient respectively, as well as the multiple patellar cartilage-related data of the certain patient are used as the item-by-item input content of the feedforward neural network, completing the current learning performed on the feedforward neural network, thus ensuring the learning effect of each learning of the feedforward neural network;

[0046] In this way, the artificial intelligence model obtained after deep learning improves the pertinence of intelligent recognition;

[0047] Technical process B: To complete the intelligent recognition of the patellar cartilage injury level of the current patient, the multimodal data of the current patient screened specifically;

[0048] Specifically, the multimodal data includes the customized visual information of the patellar cartilage imaging area in the T1WI-SAG positioning scan picture, PDW-SAG positioning scan picture, PDW-COR positioning scan picture and T2WI-SPAI R-TRA positioning scan picture obtained after magnetic resonance scanning, the customized visual information of the knee occupancy image in the front imaging picture of the current patient's knee, and the multiple patellar cartilage-related data of the current patient;

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, the T1WI-SAG localization scan image, PDW-SAG localization scan image, PDW-COR localization scan image, and T2WI-SPAIR-TRA localization scan image are illustrated by T1WI-SAG, PDW-SAG, PDW-COR, and T2WI-SPAIR-TRA respectively;

[0050] More specifically, the multi-modal data for intelligent identification of cartilage damage specifically includes respective customized visual information corresponding to the T1WI-SAG cartilage image, PDW-SAG cartilage image, PDW-COR cartilage image, T2WI-SPAIR-TRA cartilage image, and knee occupancy image, as well as multiple patellar cartilage-related data of the current patient;

[0051] More specifically, the customized visual information corresponding to each image is the gray value gradient data of each pixel point in the image, as well as the horizontal coordinate value, vertical coordinate value, and gray value of each edge pixel point in the image;

[0052] Exemplarily, each pixel point in the image is used as the target pixel point, and the gray value gradient data corresponding to the target pixel point is formed by combining the gray values of each adjacent pixel point adjacent to the target pixel point and the single gray value of the target pixel point. The mean square error of all gray values in the gray value set corresponding to the target pixel point is used as the gray value gradient data corresponding to the target pixel point, thereby effectively calculating the gray value gradient data of each pixel point;

[0053] Exemplarily, the T1WI-SAG localization scan image, PDW-SAG localization scan image, PDW-COR localization scan image, and T2WI-SPAIR-TRA localization scan image obtained after magnetic resonance scanning of the knee joint of the current patient are acquired, and then the T1WI-SAG cartilage image, PDW-SAG cartilage image, PDW-COR cartilage image, and T2WI-SPAIR-TRA cartilage image are respectively obtained based on the patellar cartilage imaging characteristics;

[0054] More specifically, the multiple patellar cartilage-related data of the current patient includes the duration of patellar cartilage injury, gender data, thigh length data, calf length data, age data, and weight data of the current patient. The introduction of the above multi-modal data enriches the integrity of the basic data for intelligent identification;

[0055] In this way, the introduction of the above multi-modal data enriches the integrity of the basic data for intelligent identification;

[0056] Technical process C: The intelligent damage recognition model after deep learning customized for the current patient using technical process A completes the intelligent recognition of the patellar cartilage damage level of the current patient based on the multimodal data of the current patient screened specifically according to technical process B;

[0057] Exemplarily, the severity of knee patellar cartilage damage is usually divided into four levels: grade 1 injury, grade 2 injury, grade 3 injury, and grade 4 injury;

[0058] Technical process D: Based on the patellar cartilage damage level of the current patient intelligently recognized by technical process C, formulate corresponding damage response strategies for the current patient;

[0059] Exemplarily, when the patellar cartilage damage level of the current patient intelligently recognized is grade 2 injury, the corresponding damage response strategies formulated for the current patient include physical therapy, local cold compress, and drug treatment.

[0060] Thus, the present invention completes the reliable recognition of the patellar cartilage damage level of the current patient by introducing customized visual information of a variety of nuclear magnetic images and knee frontal images screened specifically and a number of patellar cartilage-related data of the current patient as multimodal data for patellar cartilage damage level recognition, and at the same time introducing an intelligent damage recognition model customized for the current patient and after deep learning as an artificial intelligence model for patellar cartilage damage level recognition, and then taking corresponding damage treatment strategies, thereby improving the timeliness and effectiveness of patellar cartilage damage treatment.

[0061] The key points of the present invention are: the multimodal data of the current patient screened specifically to complete the intelligent recognition of the patellar cartilage damage level, the intelligent damage recognition model after deep learning customized for the current patient to complete the intelligent recognition of the patellar cartilage damage level, the customized design of each learning mode of the feedforward neural network, and the dynamic formulation of damage treatment strategies based on the intelligent recognition results.
