Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the increasingly prominent core role of medical imaging technology in disease diagnosis, treatment, and efficacy evaluation, as a key quality control link, the quality of images and reports in the radiology department directly affects the accuracy of clinical decisions. Traditional quality control management mostly adopts manual sampling methods, which have inherent defects such as low efficiency, significant subjective bias, and insufficient sample coverage, and it is difficult to meet the needs of modern medical institutions for implementing standardized and transparent quality control of massive image data.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN114927199A (publication date: August 19, 2022) discloses a medical image quality control system based on cloud computing, which creates sampling tasks through an administrator workstation and assigns them to quality control experts for scoring. Although this solution realizes the digital management of quality control tasks, there are still the following technical bottlenecks: 1) The sampling rules are single, lacking a multi-dimensional mutually exclusive sampling mechanism for examination categories, equipment types, and anatomical parts, resulting in the omission or duplication of key quality control samples; 2) Task assignment depends on manual experience, and an intelligent assignment model based on expert load thresholds and dynamic ratio adjustment is not established, which is prone to uneven resource allocation; 3) The quality control evaluation dimensions are fixed, lacking a defect factor weight optimization mechanism based on historical data, and it is difficult to achieve the dynamic evolution of quality control standards.

[0004] Especially when dealing with scenarios of multi-hospital collaboration and complex examination type intersections, the existing system cannot effectively prevent sample conflicts between image quality control and report quality control tasks, resulting in duplicate quality control and resource waste. In addition, during the implementation of traditional double-blind quality control, there is a lack of a real-time tracking mechanism for the status of a large number of examination forms, making it difficult to ensure the integrity and traceability of sampling data. Summary of the Invention

[0080] Chinese invention patent CN114927199A (publication date: August 19, 2022) discloses a medical image quality control system based on cloud computing, which creates sampling tasks through an administrator workstation and assigns them to quality control experts for scoring. Although this solution realizes the digital management of quality control tasks, there are still the following technical bottlenecks: 1) The sampling rules are single, lacking a multi-dimensional mutually exclusive sampling mechanism for examination categories, equipment types, and anatomical parts, resulting in the omission or duplication of key quality control samples; 2) Task assignment depends on manual experience, and an intelligent assignment model based on expert load thresholds and dynamic ratio adjustment has not been established, which is likely to cause uneven resource allocation; 3) The quality control evaluation dimensions are fixed, lacking a defect factor weight optimization mechanism based on historical data, and it is difficult to achieve the dynamic evolution of quality control standards.

[0081] Especially when dealing with scenarios of multi-hospital collaboration and complex examination type intersections, the existing system cannot effectively prevent sample conflicts between image quality control and report quality control tasks, resulting in duplicate quality control and resource waste. In addition, during the implementation of traditional double-blind quality control, there is a lack of a real-time tracking mechanism for the status of a large number of examination sheets, making it difficult to ensure the integrity and traceability of sampling data.

[0082] To address the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for radiological image quality control management, including the following steps:

[0083] S1. Create a quality control task.

[0084] In some embodiments, step S1 includes the following steps S11 - S13.

[0085] S11. As Figure 1 shown, set the quality control task attributes, including task name, task category, start time, and end time.

[0086] S12. As Figure 2 , 3 shown, dynamically display the task status information in the task list, including the total sampling quantity, the number of completed quality controls, the task progress percentage, and the task status flag.

[0087] S13. As Figure 4 shown, generate a task details view, including the distribution of the quantity of quality - controlled / non - quality - controlled, the list of quality control experts and their task completion rates, the trend chart of quality control score distribution, and the detailed checklist.

[0088] Through the above method steps, create a quality control task, set the task attributes in detail, dynamically display the task status information, and generate a task details view, realizing the comprehensive management and refined monitoring of the quality control task, improving the quality control efficiency, and ensuring the transparency and traceability of the quality control work.

[0089] S2. Perform multi - dimensional sampling on the checklist according to the set sampling rules.

[0090] In some embodiments, step S2 includes the following steps S21 - S22.

[0091] S21. As Figure 5 , 6 shown, configure the quality control sampling rules, including the hospital area scope, date range, examination category, examination technician, examination equipment, examination site grouping, radiology professional title level, and random sampling mode.

[0092] S22. After applying the sampling rules, display the number of samples filtered by the rules in real - time, and generate the final sampling result based on the following mutually exclusive principles:

[0093] The checklist that has been sampled by the imaging quality control task will no longer participate in the sampling of subsequent imaging quality control tasks, but can be sampled by the report quality control task;

[0094] The checklist that has been sampled by the report quality control task will no longer participate in the sampling of subsequent report quality control tasks, but can be sampled by the imaging quality control task.

[0095] Through the above method steps, the sampling rules are flexibly configured and the number of filtered samples is displayed in real time. At the same time, the mutually exclusive sampling of the checklist in the image quality control and report quality control tasks is ensured, so as to achieve efficient and accurate sampling of the checklist, avoid repeated quality control, improve the utilization rate of quality control resources, and ensure the objectivity and accuracy of the quality control results.

[0096] S3. Screen quality control experts according to roles, and allocate quality control tasks to the selected experts according to the sampling results.

[0097] In some embodiments, step S3 includes the following steps S31 - S35.

[0098] S31. As Figure 7 shown, screen quality control experts according to the preset role permissions, support single - selection or multi - selection operations, and display the number of selected experts in real time;

[0099] S32. As Figure 7 shown, set an upper limit threshold for the workload of each quality control expert, and the workload upper limit includes the maximum number of checklists that can be assigned or the maximum task load duration;

[0100] S33. Automatically calculate the amount of quality control tasks that should be assigned to each expert according to the sampling results. When the remaining assignable amount of an expert is lower than the amount of tasks to be assigned, it is dynamically assigned proportionally;

[0101] S34. Visually display the comparison relationship between the amount of tasks already undertaken by the expert, the remaining assignable amount, and the number of tasks assigned this time in the task assignment interface;

[0102] S35. For the image quality control task, the assigned checklist is automatically marked as the "sampled" status and is prohibited from being re - assigned to other image quality control experts; for the report quality control task, cross - task - type repeated assignment is allowed but repeated processing by the same expert is restricted.

[0103] Through the above method steps, quality control experts are screened according to the preset role permissions, the workload upper limit is flexibly set, quality control tasks are automatically assigned according to the sampling results, the task assignment situation is visually displayed in the task assignment interface, and a dual anti - repetition mechanism is established, ensuring the reasonable distribution of quality control tasks, improving the quality control efficiency, avoiding repeated task assignment, and guaranteeing the independence and accuracy of the quality control results.

[0104] S4. Quality control experts perform quality control operations on the assigned images or reports based on the quality control template, and automatically classify the quality control result levels according to the preset deduction range.

[0105] In some embodiments, step S4 includes the following steps S41 - S44.

[0106] S41. As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, the quality control expert matches the quality control template according to the task type, and the template includes a list of quality control factors associated with the inspection category and the corresponding deduction rules;

[0107] S42. For example, Figures 10 to 12 As shown in the figure, retrieve the image or report content of the sampled inspection form, select the factor items that trigger quality control problems in the template, execute item-by-item deduction and generate comments;

[0108] S43. Real-time summarize the total deduction score, and automatically classify the quality level according to the deduction interval threshold preset by the scoring classification module;

[0109] S44. The quality control result includes the original data, deduction details, manual evaluation and system-determined level, and is associated with the inspection unit data for storage.

[0110] Through the above method steps, the standardization and efficiency of the quality control process are ensured; by matching the quality control template, the quality control expert can quickly locate the quality control factors and deduction rules for the inspection category, achieve accurate item-by-item deduction and generate comments. Real-time summarize the deductions and automatically classify the quality control result level, improving the quality control efficiency and ensuring the objectivity and consistency of the quality control results. At the same time, comprehensively record the quality control results and associate them with the inspection unit data for storage, providing strong support for subsequent quality control traceability, analysis and improvement, and further enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of radiological image quality control.

[0111] S5. Conduct multi-dimensional statistical analysis on the completed quality control tasks.

[0112] In some embodiments, step S5 includes the following steps S51-S54.

[0113] S51. For the image quality control task, conduct cross-statistical analysis according to at least the following three dimensions:

[0114] Based on the dimension of the inspection technician, including counting the distribution of quality control deduction items, the proportion of excellent, good and poor evaluations, and the high-frequency problem factors of different technicians;

[0115] Based on the dimension of the inspection category, including comparing the differences in the quality control passing rates of different imaging inspection types such as CT, MR, CR, and RF;

[0116] Based on the dimension of the quality control factor, including analyzing the top 5 quality control defect factors with the highest occurrence frequency in each inspection site group.

[0117] S52. For the report quality control task, conduct correlation analysis according to at least the following three dimensions:

[0118] Based on the dimension of the reporting doctor, including counting the distribution of report standardization scores and the clustering of error types of doctors at different professional title levels;

[0119] Based on the dimensions of the examination site, including analysis of the report description defect rate of different anatomical sites such as the nervous system and skeletal system;

[0120] Trend analysis based on the time dimension, including tracking the dynamic change trends of key quality control indicators at weekly / monthly granularity.

[0121] S53. Generate visual statistical reports, including multi-dimensional data pivot tables, quality control KPI compliance matrix, and defect heat maps;

[0122] Among them, the multidimensional pivot table supports multi-level drill-down analysis by hospital area, equipment model, and radiology professional title;

[0123] The quality control KPI compliance matrix shows the achievement of image quality qualification rate and report integrity indicators for each inspection category;

[0124] The defect heat map shows the distribution density of quality control problems in different inspection rooms / equipment through spatial mapping.

[0125] S54. Establish a quality control traceability mechanism to automatically associate the original inspection sheets, quality control evaluation records and corresponding quality control expert feedback with the systemic quality problems discovered through statistics.

[0126] The above methods and steps enable comprehensive and in-depth exploration of valuable information within quality control data. Through cross-sectional statistical and correlation analysis across multiple dimensions, quality control issues and their root causes can be precisely identified. Furthermore, the generated visual statistical reports provide an intuitive and clear presentation for quality control management, helping managers quickly understand quality control status and make decisions.

[0127] S6. Build a dynamic feedback optimization mechanism.

[0128] In some embodiments, step S6 specifically includes the following steps S61-S64.

[0129] S61. Based on the statistical analysis results of step S5, identify high-frequency quality control defect factors and associated dimension combinations, and generate a risk weight matrix.

[0130] S62. When configuring subsequent sampling rules, an intelligent sampling optimization engine is introduced to automatically adjust the sampling ratio of each dimension according to the risk weight matrix, so that the sampling probability of high-risk inspection categories or technicians is increased by 30%-50%.

[0131] S63. For an inspection technician or reporting doctor whose quality control pass rate is lower than the threshold in three consecutive statistical analyses, a special quality control task is automatically triggered to be generated, and the sampling ratio of the relevant inspection sheets of the person in the sampling rules is forcibly set to 100%.

[0132] S64. Establish a cross-task knowledge transfer channel, dynamically push the high-frequency deduction factors in the historical quality control template to the recommended list of the newly created template, and predict the potential correlation of the newly added quality control factors based on the Bayesian algorithm.

[0133] Specifically, in some embodiments, step S64 specifically includes the following steps:

[0134] S641. The system builds a historical quality control template database to store the quality control template data of all completed tasks, including:

[0135] The list of quality control factors associated with each inspection category (such as CT, MR, etc.);

[0136] The triggering frequency, deduction weight of each quality control factor in historical tasks, and the corresponding inspection site grouping;

[0137] The manual marking information of quality control experts for quality control factors (such as whether it is a key defect).

[0138] S642. Automatically screen high-frequency deduction factors according to preset thresholds (such as triggering frequency ≥ N times / month, deduction weight ≥ X points);

[0139] Cluster the factors by inspection category and inspection site grouping to generate a factor set {F1, F2,..., Fn}.

[0140] S643. When the user creates a new quality control template and adds a new quality control factor Fx, the system calls the Bayesian model, and the system automatically retrieves the template data of the same or similar inspection categories in the historical template database.

[0141] S644. Calculate the comprehensive priority score based on the factor triggering frequency, deduction weight, and manual marking information, and generate a recommended list in descending order of the score; the recommended list is dynamically embedded in the new template editing interface, supporting one-key import operation.

[0142] S645. Use the naive Bayesian classifier to calculate the conditional probability of the newly added factor Fx and the historical factor set {F1, F2,..., Fn}:

[0143]

[0144] S646. When the user adds a new quality control factor Fx in the new template, the system calls the Bayesian model to calculate the correlation probability {P1, P2,..., Pn} between Fx and each factor in the recommended list.

[0145] S647. If there exists Pi ≥ threshold θ (such as θ = 0.7), then highlight Fi in the recommended list and mark the predicted correlation relationship.

[0146] Through the above methods and steps, it is possible to intelligently identify high-frequency quality control defects and risk points based on statistical analysis of historical quality control data. By adjusting the sampling ratio and optimizing the sampling rules, it is possible to achieve focused monitoring of high-risk inspection categories or technicians. At the same time, for individuals with consistently low quality control pass rates, special quality control tasks are automatically triggered to ensure that problems are resolved in a timely and effective manner. In addition, the establishment of a cross-task knowledge transfer channel promotes the sharing and inheritance of quality control knowledge and experience, provides strong support for the continuous optimization and improvement of quality control templates, and thus promotes the continuous improvement and optimization of radiological imaging quality control work.

[0147] In summary, this application has constructed a full-process quality control management system based on multi-dimensional mutually exclusive sampling rules and dynamic task allocation. It achieves accurate sampling by setting multiple filtering conditions such as hospital area, inspection category, and equipment. Combined with the mutual exclusivity principle and double anti-duplication mechanism of image / report quality control tasks, it effectively avoids repeated sample extraction and task conflicts.

[0148] It adopts an intelligent expert task allocation algorithm, dynamically adjusts the allocation ratio according to the workload threshold, and builds a visual task tracking interface to significantly improve the efficiency of quality control resource utilization. Compared with the traditional manual mode, it reduces manpower consumption by more than 60%, and realizes transparent double-blind quality control of massive imaging data.

[0149] By checking the quality control factor library associated with categories and the automatic deduction rules, subjective experience is converted into a standardized evaluation process. The deduction interval threshold of the scoring classification module is introduced into the quality control process to realize automatic determination of quality levels and eliminate human scoring bias. Through the strong association storage mechanism between image data and quality control results, a traceable quality control evidence chain is constructed, making the quality control evaluation process verifiable and repeatable.

[0150] In a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a radiological image quality control management system is provided, comprising:

[0151] Task creation module, used to create quality control tasks;
