[0054] Specific image segmentation and recognition is a relatively mature existing technology in the field of image processing, and will not be described in detail here.
[0055] In this embodiment:
[0056] The present invention forms the core architecture of an intelligent recognition and analysis system for urological stone images through the mutual cooperation of three algorithm units. The comprehensive image scoring value algorithm unit comprehensively considers influencing factors such as image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), image scanning layer thickness (Thk), and CT value gradient (CTg) to comprehensively calculate the comprehensive image scoring value (Ism). This can more comprehensively and accurately evaluate image quality, reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis caused by a single factor, and help the intelligent recognition and analysis system better distinguish stones from surrounding tissues, improve the detection rate of stones, and better perform image recognition. The adjusted stone segmentation threshold algorithm unit comprehensively considers the basic stone segmentation threshold (Bst), the comprehensive image scoring value (Ism), the radiation dose (Ed), and the image scanning layer thickness (Thk) to calculate the adjusted stone segmentation threshold (Ast). That is, the stone segmentation threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to factors such as image quality, which helps to more accurately identify the boundaries and ranges of stones, improve the accuracy of stone segmentation, and provide a scientific and reliable data basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment.
[0057] See also Figures 1 to 2 , the comprehensive image scoring value algorithm unit is as follows:
[0058] ;
[0059] in:
[0060] Ism represents the comprehensive image score value:
[0061] SNR stands for image signal-to-noise ratio, which is the ratio of the image signal average to the standard deviation of the background noise and is obtained using the ImageJ image processing software built into the imaging device;
[0062] Thk represents the image scanning slice thickness, which is the slice thickness when the imaging device scans and is obtained from the metadata of the imaging device;
[0063] CTg stands for CT value gradient, which is the CT value gradient between the stone and the surrounding tissue, and is obtained through the built-in image processing software of the imaging device;
[0064] BMI represents the patient's BMI value, which was obtained from the patient's electronic medical record;
[0065] In the formula calculation:
[0066] This part reflects the nonlinear effect of the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the comprehensive image score value through the power function. As the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases, the calculated comprehensive image score value (Ism) increases, but the growth rate gradually slows down. It is used to slow down the excessive effect on the comprehensive image score value (Ism) when the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is too large.
[0067] The combined effect of coupled scan slice thickness THK and CT value gradient CTg on the integrated image score Ism is used to balance spatial resolution and low contrast detectability. Specifically:
[0068] As the molecular scanning layer thickness THK decreases, This part of the value will increase and increase the calculated comprehensive image score value Ism;
[0069] When the CT value gradient CTG is high, it means that the image edge is clear, the denominator is close to 1, and the value of this coupling term is close to the value of the scanning layer thickness THK;
[0070] When the CT value gradient CTG is low, it means that the image is blurred, the denominator increases, this part of the coupling term decreases, and the calculated comprehensive image score value Ism decreases. In this case, in order to ensure image quality, the system will select a thinner slice thickness when the CT value gradient CTG is low;
[0071] When the patient's BMI value is greater than or equal to 25, it is considered to be overweight, and artifacts will appear during image capture, reducing image quality. The standard value of the BMI value is set to 25 at the numerator. This section normalizes the effect of the patient's BMI on the comprehensive imaging score using a baseline value of 25. Specifically:
[0072] When the patient's BMI value is equal to 25, The value of this part is 1, which means that the patient's current weight will not affect the calculation of the comprehensive imaging score Ism;
[0073] When the patient's BMI is greater than 25, This part of the value is greater than 1. As the patient's BMI value increases, The value of this part will be reduced to between 0 and 1, thereby reducing the calculated comprehensive image score value Ism;
[0074] When the patient's BMI is less than 25, Some values are less than 1. As the patient's BMI decreases, The value of this part will increase, thereby increasing the calculated comprehensive image score value Ism.
[0075] In this embodiment, the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) reflects the clarity of the image. The higher the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the less noise in the image, and the clearer the stone features. The image scan slice thickness (Thk) affects the observation of stone details. A thinner slice thickness can provide more detailed stone morphological information. The CT value gradient (CTg) reflects the density difference between the stone and surrounding tissue, which helps to accurately identify the stone. The patient's BMI value is related to the absorption and scattering of X-rays by body tissue and can affect image quality. The comprehensive image scoring algorithm unit comprehensively considers the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), image scan slice thickness (Thk), CT value gradient (CTg), and the patient's BMI value (BMI) to calculate the comprehensive image scoring value (Ism). This can more comprehensively and accurately assess image quality and reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis caused by a single factor. The appearance of urological stones on images may vary depending on factors such as stone composition, size, and location. The comprehensive image scoring value (Ism) serves as a comprehensive indicator in the system database, which can help the intelligent recognition and analysis system better distinguish stones from surrounding tissue, improve the stone detection rate, and better perform image recognition.
[0076] See also Figures 1 to 2 , the adjusted stone segmentation threshold algorithm unit is as follows:
[0077] ;
[0078] in:
[0079] Ast represents the adjusted stone segmentation threshold;
[0080] Bst stands for the basic segmentation threshold for stones, which is the preset threshold for identifying stones in the image segmentation algorithm;
[0081] Ism represents the comprehensive imaging score value;
[0082] Ism max Represents the maximum value of the comprehensive image score, which is the theoretical upper limit of image quality and represents the image score value under ideal conditions;
[0083] Ed represents the radiation dose, which is obtained from the metadata of the imaging device;
[0084] Thk represents the image scanning layer thickness;
[0085] α represents the compensation coefficient, α∈(0.5,3) can be self-adjusted in the adjusted stone segmentation threshold algorithm unit, specifically:
[0086] When the radiation dose Ed used in the CT examination is low, the compensation coefficient α will be larger (2-3) to increase the calculated adjusted stone segmentation threshold Ast. This is used to reduce noise misjudgment in the image when the radiation dose Ed is low, thereby avoiding the missed detection of small stones.
[0087] In the formula calculation:
[0088] This part is achieved by the maximum value of the comprehensive image score Ism max , the effect of the comprehensive image score Ism on the stone segmentation threshold is normalized to the mathematical range of 0 to 1. Specifically:
[0089] As the comprehensive image score value Ism increases, the closer the comprehensive image score value Ism is to the maximum image score value Ism max , This term is approximately equal to 1, indicating that the image quality of the patient is close to the ideal value and there is no need to adjust the stone segmentation threshold;
[0090] As the comprehensive image score Ism decreases, If this item increases, it means that the image quality of the patient is poor and the stone segmentation threshold needs to be increased to avoid missing small stones in the image.
[0091] Regarding the image scan slice thickness Thk: As the image scan slice thickness THK increases, the spatial resolution will be reduced and the stone edge will be blurred. Therefore, the threshold needs to be increased to reduce false positives.
[0092] Regarding radiation dose Ed: Reducing the radiation dose ED will increase the noise image during image capture, so the threshold needs to be increased to suppress noise misjudgment;
[0093] This part actually represents the coupling effect of image blur and noise by dividing the radiation dose Ed by the image scanning layer thickness Thk. Specifically:
[0094] When the scanning layer thickness Thk increases and the radiation dose Ed decreases, The ratio of this part increases significantly, and the calculated adjusted stone segmentation threshold value represents an increase in the adjusted stone segmentation threshold value Ast, which means that the spatial resolution in the image capture is low and there is a lot of noise, and the segmentation threshold value needs to be significantly compensated. The calculated adjusted stone segmentation threshold value Ast increases;
[0095] It is worth noting that the logarithmic function can be used here to The coupled image of this part of the image blur and noise is mapped to the logarithmic space, so that the threshold compensation is The increase of this part is gradual rather than linear.
[0096] In this embodiment:
[0097] In the intelligent recognition and analysis system of urological stone images, in traditional stone image segmentation algorithms, the stone style threshold is usually fixed and cannot adapt to different scanning conditions (such as low dose, low scanning layer thickness, and obese patients), which can easily lead to false positives or missed detections. However, the adjusted stone segmentation threshold algorithm unit comprehensively considers the basic stone segmentation threshold Bst, the comprehensive image score value Ism, the radiation dose Ed, and the image scanning layer thickness Thk to calculate the adjusted stone segmentation threshold Ast. That is, the stone segmentation threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to factors such as image quality, which helps to more accurately identify the boundaries and range of stones, improve the accuracy of stone segmentation, and provide a scientific and reliable data basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment.
[0098] By automatically calculating the adjusted stone segmentation threshold Ast through the intelligent recognition and analysis system of stone images, the time and energy required for doctors to manually adjust the segmentation threshold can be reduced, making the image analysis process more efficient. Doctors can obtain accurate stone information more quickly, improving the efficiency of medical work. In addition, by incorporating the radiation dose Ed into the calculation of the adjusted stone segmentation threshold algorithm unit, the radiation exposure to patients can be reduced while ensuring image quality, which helps protect the health of patients and reduce potential risks caused by radiation.
[0099] See also Figures 1 to 2 , the adjusted image scanning layer thickness algorithm unit is as follows:
[0100] ;
[0101] in:
[0102] Thk again Represents the thickness of the image scan layer after adjustment;
[0103] Thk represents the image scanning layer thickness;
[0104] Dus stands for the stricture diameter, which is the diameter of the stricture segment of the patient's ureter and is obtained from the metadata of the imaging device;
[0105] Dus ref The normal value of the diameter of the stricture segment is the diameter of the stricture segment of the ureter in a normal person without urinary diseases.
[0106] Ism represents the comprehensive imaging score value;
[0107] Ism max Represents the maximum value of the comprehensive image score
[0108] β represents the zero division constant, which is 0.1;
[0109] In the formula calculation:
[0110] The smaller the diameter Dus of the patient's stenosis segment, the greater the potential risk of stones to the patient. Therefore, thinner CT slices are needed for scanning to improve image quality and capture small stones more clearly, thereby reducing the potential risk of small stones to the patient. This part reflects the adjustment requirements of the layer thickness according to the degree of ureteral stenosis through the hyperbolic tangent function. Specifically:
[0111] When the diameter of the stenosis segment Dus is close to the normal value of the stenosis segment diameter Dus ref , The value of this part of the function approaches 0. This part of the value is close to 1, which means that the diameter Dus of the patient's stenosis segment is normal and the slice thickness does not need to be adjusted;
[0112] When the diameter of the stenosis segment Dus is smaller than the normal value Dus ref , The value of this part of the function decreases. This part of the value is reduced to reduce the calculated adjusted image scanning layer thickness Thk again , used to capture finer image details;
[0113] The maximum value of the partial pass comprehensive image score Ism max , the comprehensive image score value Ism is adjusted to the image scanning layer thickness Thk again The impact of is standardized, specifically:
[0114] As the comprehensive image score value Ism increases, when the comprehensive image score value Ism approaches the maximum value of the comprehensive image score value Ism max When , it means the image quality is good. The value of this part is reduced, thereby reducing the calculated adjusted image scanning layer thickness Thk again As the comprehensive image score Ism decreases, it means the image quality is poor, so the calculated adjusted image scanning layer thickness Thk is increased. again , which means that thinner scanning layers are needed to capture finer image details.
[0115] In this embodiment:
[0116] The adjusted image scan layer thickness algorithm unit comprehensively considers the patient's ureteral stricture diameter Dus and the comprehensive image score value Ism to calculate the adjusted image scan layer thickness Thk again On the one hand, according to the adjusted image scanning layer thickness Thk again, it can retake urological stone images for patients whose image quality is lower than the standard threshold Y1, realize the automatic adjustment of image scanning layer thickness Thk, reduce the time and energy required for doctors to manually adjust scanning parameters, and improve the efficiency of medical work. This allows doctors to focus more on the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and improves the quality and level of medical services;
[0117] On the other hand, this algorithm can adjust the image scan layer thickness according to the different patient conditions. For patients with smaller stenosis diameters, the intelligent recognition and analysis system for urological stone images can select a thinner scan layer thickness to more clearly capture small stones, thereby reducing the risk of missed diagnosis due to blurred images. Specifically:
[0118] When the diameter Dus of the patient's stenosis segment is small, the adjusted image scanning layer thickness algorithm unit will force a reduction in layer thickness through the hyperbolic tangent function (tanh) (for example, when Dus = 1mm, the layer thickness will be compressed to 30% of the original value), significantly improving the image resolution at the stenosis and avoiding blurred details caused by excessive layer thickness, thereby improving image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
[0119] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
