Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic image processing, and in particular to an ultrasonic image-based multiple injury recognition method and classification system for emergency patients. Background Art

[0002] Polytrauma refers to injuries to at least two organs or anatomical parts of a patient caused by the same injury, with at least one injury seriously endangering the patient's life. Ultrasound testing can be used to screen key areas (such as the chest) in polytrauma patients, enabling rapid and accurate analysis and providing a basis for condition assessment.

[0003] During actual ultrasound examinations, some patients have a high BMI and have more subcutaneous fat in their chests due to obesity. This subcutaneous fat can seriously interfere with the propagation of ultrasonic energy. Conventional solutions such as image noise reduction cannot effectively suppress the problem of decreased clarity in chest ultrasound images. This makes the patient's condition information reflected in the chest ultrasound images inaccurate, and leads to poor results in the condition analysis based on chest ultrasound images, which is prone to missed detections and other problems.

[0075] To further illustrate the technical means and effectiveness of the present invention to achieve its intended purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, describes in detail the specific implementation, structure, features, and effectiveness of an ultrasound-based polytrauma identification method and classification system for emergency patients proposed by the present invention. In the following description, references to different "one embodiment" or "another embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics of one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0076] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

[0077] The following describes in detail a method for identifying multiple injuries in emergency patients based on ultrasound images provided by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0078] This paper proposes a method for identifying multiple injuries in emergency patients based on ultrasound images. Figure 1 , which shows a schematic flow chart of a method for identifying multiple injuries of emergency patients based on ultrasound images provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the method comprising the following steps:

[0079] Step S1: performing image analysis on a plurality of first images respectively to determine a key area included in each first image.

[0080] The multiple first images are multiple ultrasound images collected when the target patient undergoes ultrasound testing, and the key area is used to indicate the pleural line of the target patient.

[0081] The above-mentioned target patient can be understood as any patient who undergoes ultrasound examination.

[0082] The pleural line, as used in this document, refers to the hyperechoic, bright line formed by the parietal and visceral pleura on ultrasound images (appearing as a smooth white line on ultrasound images). Under normal circumstances (meaning, when the patient has no chest or lung disease), only one pleural line is visible, located below the patient's ribs.

[0083] Exemplarily, the process of acquiring the multiple first images may be:

[0084] A low-frequency (2-5 MHz) convex array probe is used to detect the internal chest tissue of the target patient to obtain multiple original ultrasound images. It should be understood that the multiple original ultrasound images include not only several original ultrasound images corresponding to the same detection position, but also several original ultrasound images corresponding to different detection positions.

[0085] Noise reduction processing is performed on the multiple original ultrasound images to obtain multiple first images, wherein the multiple original ultrasound images and the multiple first images have corresponding meanings, and the noise reduction processing can be mean filtering processing, Gaussian filtering processing, wavelet transform processing, etc.

[0086] Compared with the solid and hollow organs in the patient's thoracic cavity, the pleural line has significant image features, is less affected by noise, is closely related to the position of the patient's ribs, is easy to identify, and can effectively indicate the actual movement of the patient's thoracic cavity. Therefore, selecting the area where the pleural line is located as the key area for relevant analysis can fully ensure the accuracy and practicality of the analysis results.

[0087] Furthermore, the performing image analysis on the plurality of first images to determine the key areas included in each first image includes:

[0088] Performing image segmentation on each of the plurality of first images to obtain a plurality of highlight regions included in each of the first images;

[0089] Analyzing the skeleton morphology and pixel concentration trend of each highlight region included in each first image to obtain a pleural line similarity value of each highlight region included in each first image;

[0090] analyzing a regional depth and a pixel discrete trend of each highlight region included in each first image to obtain a pleural line difference value of each highlight region included in each first image;

[0091] Obtaining a pleural line probability value for each highlighted area included in each first image according to the pleural line similarity value and the pleural line difference value for each highlighted area included in each first image;

[0092] Among the multiple highlight regions included in each first image, a highlight region with the largest pleural line probability value is determined as a key region included in each first image.

[0093] In one example, the maximum inter-class variance method can be used to complete the above-mentioned image segmentation operation to obtain multiple highlight areas included in each first image, wherein the pixel mean (i.e., grayscale mean) corresponding to the highlight area is greater than or equal to the pixel threshold corresponding to the maximum inter-class variance method (i.e., grayscale threshold, such as 245).

[0094] The pleural line similarity value is used to indicate the similarity between the corresponding highlighted area and the area where the pleural line is located.

[0095] The pleural line difference value is used to indicate the degree of difference between the corresponding highlighted area and the area where the pleural line is located.

[0096] The probability value of each highlighted area being a key area (i.e., the pleural line probability value) is comprehensively evaluated by combining the pleural line similarity value and pleural line difference value of each highlighted area. This can avoid the errors existing in single-dimensional evaluation and make the determined key areas more accurate and reliable.

[0097] Furthermore, the analyzing the skeleton morphology and pixel concentration trend of each highlight region included in each first image to obtain the pleural line similarity value of each highlight region included in each first image includes:

[0098] Performing skeleton processing on each of the multiple highlight regions included in each first image to obtain multiple region skeletons corresponding to each first image;

[0099] Performing smoothness analysis on the multiple regional skeletons corresponding to each first image to obtain the smoothness of the multiple skeletons corresponding to each first image;

[0100] Calculating pixel means for each of the multiple highlight regions included in each of the first images to obtain pixel means for each of the multiple regions corresponding to the first image, wherein the pixel mean for each region is an average of multiple pixel values ​​of multiple pixel points in the corresponding highlight region;

[0101] A pleural line similarity value of each highlight region included in each first image is obtained according to the skeleton smoothness and the regional pixel mean corresponding to each highlight region included in each first image.

[0102] Each regional skeleton corresponding to each first image is composed of a plurality of skeleton points connected in sequence.

[0103] In one example, the skeleton processing may be performed based on a morphological method (such as the Zhang-Suen algorithm) or a distance transformation method.

[0104] The process of obtaining the skeleton smoothness corresponding to a certain regional skeleton can be:

[0105] Slide the multiple skeleton points that constitute the skeleton of the region starting from the first skeleton point to obtain multiple sliding vectors, where each sliding vector is composed of two adjacent skeleton points, and each sliding vector is specifically: a vector from the previous skeleton point to the next skeleton point between the two adjacent skeleton points;

[0106] Among the multiple sliding vectors, the cosine similarity between adjacent sliding vectors is calculated respectively to obtain multiple vector similarities;

[0107] Calculate the mean of multiple vector similarities to obtain the skeleton smoothness corresponding to the skeleton in the region.

[0108] Among them, the greater the skeleton smoothness, the smoother the shape of the corresponding regional skeleton.

[0109] For example, the skeleton smoothness corresponding to the skeleton of the kth highlight region (the minimum value of k is 1, and the maximum value corresponds to the total number of highlight regions included in the first image) among the highlight regions is It can be expressed as:

[0110]

[0111] in, Indicates the number of multiple skeleton points of the corresponding regional skeleton, Represents the sliding vector from the u-th skeleton point to the u+1-th skeleton point among the multiple skeleton points of the skeleton in the region, Represents the sliding vector from the u+1th skeleton point to the u+2th skeleton point among the multiple skeleton points of the skeleton of the region, Indicates calculating the cosine similarity between two vectors (that is, the aforementioned vector similarity).

[0112] According to the skeleton smoothness and regional pixel mean corresponding to each highlight region included in each first image, the pleural line similarity value of each highlight region included in each first image is obtained, specifically:

[0113] The product of the skeleton smoothness corresponding to each highlight region included in each first image and the regional pixel mean is calculated to obtain a pleural line similarity value of each highlight region included in each first image.

[0114] For example, if the pleural line similarity value of the kth highlighted area is set to , the corresponding regional pixel mean is , then the pleural line similarity value of the kth highlighted area can be expressed as:

[0115]

[0116] Based on the above process, analyzing the similarity between the highlighted area and the area where the pleural line is located from the two aspects of regional morphology and regional pixel concentration trend can avoid the errors existing in single-dimensional evaluation and improve the accuracy of the determined pleural line similarity value. Specifically, since the pleural line is usually a smooth line with a certain width, the smoother the regional skeleton of the highlighted area, the more similar the highlighted area and the area where the pleural line are located are in morphology, and vice versa. Similarly, since the pleural line is usually highlighted in ultrasound images, the higher the pixel mean value of the highlighted area (manifested as a brighter area), the more similar the pixel concentration trend of the highlighted area and the area where the pleural line are located is, and vice versa.

[0117] Furthermore, the analyzing the regional depth and pixel discrete trend of each highlight region included in each first image to obtain the pleural line difference value of each highlight region included in each first image includes:

[0118] Analyzing a difference between a region depth of each highlighted region included in each first image and a reference depth to obtain a depth difference coefficient corresponding to each highlighted region included in each first image, wherein the reference depth is a rib depth of the target patient;

[0119] Obtaining a regional dispersion coefficient of each highlight area included in each first image, wherein the regional dispersion coefficient is a dispersion coefficient of a plurality of pixel values ​​corresponding to a plurality of pixel points in the highlight area;

[0120] A pleural line difference value of each highlight area included in each first image is obtained according to the depth difference coefficient and the area dispersion coefficient corresponding to each highlight area included in each first image.

[0121] The reference depth may be acquired through a plurality of first images by feature matching. Specifically, the reference depth acquisition process may be:

[0122] Based on a standard human chest image (obtained from a database, and having a number of key points corresponding to the ribs and a number of key points corresponding to the surface skin annotated in the standard human chest image), feature matching is performed on each of the plurality of first images to determine a skin region and a rib region corresponding to each of the first images;

[0123] Calculating the shortest distance between the skin area and the rib area corresponding to each first image to obtain an image distance corresponding to each first image;

[0124] An average of a plurality of image distances corresponding to the plurality of first images is calculated to obtain a reference depth.

[0125] The depth of the highlighted area is specifically the shortest distance between the corresponding skin area and the highlighted area.

[0126] The process of analyzing the difference between the regional depth of each highlight region included in each first image and the reference depth to obtain the depth difference coefficient corresponding to each highlight region included in each first image may be:

[0127] Calculating a difference between a region depth of each highlight region included in each first image and a reference depth to obtain a depth difference value of each highlight region included in each first image;

[0128] Calculating the absolute value of the depth difference of each highlight area included in each first image to obtain the absolute value of the depth difference of each highlight area included in each first image;

[0129] The ratio of the absolute value of the depth difference of each highlight area included in each first image to the reference depth is calculated to obtain a depth difference coefficient corresponding to each highlight area included in each first image.

[0130] For example, if the depth of the kth highlight area is set to , the reference depth is , then the depth difference coefficient corresponding to the highlighted area is It can be expressed as:

[0131]

[0132] Correspondingly, the pleural line probability value of the kth highlighted area is It can be expressed as:

[0133]

[0134] in, represents the inverse proportional function, Represents the regional discrete coefficient of the kth highlighted area; exp is an exponential function with a natural constant as the base.

[0135] The pleural line probability value is used to indicate the probability that the corresponding highlighted area is the area where the pleural line is located.

[0136] It should be noted that a depth difference threshold (such as 0.5) can be set, and when the depth difference coefficient corresponding to the highlighted area is greater than or equal to the depth difference threshold, the calculation of the pleural line probability value of the highlighted area can be skipped, and the highlighted area can be directly determined as an area where the non-pleural line is located.

[0137] In the above settings, based on the calculation of depth difference and the degree of pixel dispersion within the region, the difference between the highlighted area and the area where the pleural line is located is comprehensively evaluated from two aspects: image depth and the degree of uniform distribution of pixels within the region to ensure the accuracy of the calculated pleural line difference value.

[0138] Step S2: distinguishing a plurality of second images from the plurality of first images.

[0139] The multiple second images are multiple first images corresponding to the same ultrasonic detection position.

[0140] When performing a chest ultrasound examination on a target patient, in order to obtain ultrasound images of various positions of the target patient's chest cavity, an image will be collected for each position of the target patient's chest cavity (i.e., several original ultrasound images corresponding to different detection positions). This is the dynamic acquisition stage of the ultrasound examination. In order to accurately identify the movement status of the target patient's chest cavity, the ultrasound examination will continue to stay at a certain position of the target patient's chest cavity to collect multiple images at a certain position of the chest cavity (i.e., several original ultrasound images corresponding to the same detection position). This is the static acquisition stage of the ultrasound examination.

[0141] The aforementioned multiple second images can be understood as multiple first images corresponding to the static acquisition phase of ultrasonic testing.

[0142] In one example, the similarity between image features of two adjacent first images may be analyzed, and a plurality of consecutive first images having image feature similarity greater than a feature similarity threshold (eg, 0.7) may be determined as the plurality of second images.

[0143] Step S3: Analyze pixel changes between the key area of ​​each second image and the key areas of adjacent second images in the plurality of second images to obtain a sliding parameter value of each second image.

[0144] The sliding sign parameter value is used to indicate the degree of the pleural sliding sign reflected by the corresponding second image, that is, the strength of the dynamic change of the pleural line reflected by the corresponding second image.

[0145] The pleural line represents the contact interface between the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura. The visceral pleura covers the surface of the lungs, while the parietal pleura covers the inner wall of the chest cavity. When the target patient does not have chest or lung disease, the visceral pleura will slide relative to the parietal pleura as the target patient breathes, resulting in dynamic changes in the pleural line, which is the pleural sliding sign. When the target patient develops chest or lung disease, the above-mentioned pleural sliding sign will disappear or be very weak. Therefore, by analyzing the pixel changes in the key area indicating the pleural line between two adjacent ultrasound images, the strength of the pleural sliding sign reflected in the corresponding ultrasound image can be accurately identified.

[0146] Furthermore, in the plurality of second images, analyzing pixel changes between a key area of ​​each second image and key areas of adjacent second images to obtain a sliding sign parameter value of each second image includes:

[0147] Analyzing the difference in pleural line probability values ​​between each key area of ​​the second image and the key areas of adjacent second images to obtain a probability difference coefficient corresponding to each second image;

[0148] Clustering a plurality of pixel points included in a key area of ​​each second image to obtain a plurality of clusters corresponding to each second image;

[0149] Analyzing position differences between the multiple clusters corresponding to each second image and the multiple clusters corresponding to adjacent second images to obtain a position difference coefficient corresponding to each second image;

[0150] According to the probability difference coefficient and the position difference coefficient corresponding to each second image, the sliding characteristic parameter value of each second image is obtained.

[0151] In the above process, the distribution characteristics of each pixel point in the corresponding key area are extracted based on the clustering method, and the clusters obtained by clustering are used as the analysis objects of pixel changes, rather than the pixel points. This can reduce the calculation complexity of the sliding sign parameter value while ensuring the calculation accuracy of the sliding sign parameter value; among them, the introduction of the probability difference coefficient to participate in the calculation of the sliding sign parameter value can further analyze the differences between different key areas in adjacent ultrasound images from the probability dimension, so that the final calculated sliding sign parameter value is more accurate.

[0152] The above clustering operation can be completed based on the use of the K-means clustering algorithm, and the K value required for clustering can be obtained through the elbow method.

[0153] Specifically, analyzing the position differences between the multiple clusters corresponding to each second image and the multiple clusters corresponding to adjacent second images to obtain the position difference coefficient corresponding to each second image includes:

[0154] Acquire multiple cluster critical distances corresponding to each second image, wherein the cluster critical distance is the distance between the center point of the corresponding cluster and the region boundary line of the key region where the cluster is located;

[0155] Based on the multiple cluster critical distances corresponding to each second image, a multiple cluster offset distance corresponding to each second image is obtained, where the cluster offset distance is the difference between the cluster critical distance of the corresponding cluster and the cluster critical distance of its associated cluster, and two clusters indicating the same area in two adjacent second images are associated with each other;

[0156] The average of the multiple cluster offset distances corresponding to each second image is determined as the position difference coefficient corresponding to each second image.

[0157] For example, whether two clusters existing in two adjacent second images are associated may be determined based on the pixel mean of multiple pixel values ​​of multiple pixel points included in the cluster. The specific process is as follows:

[0158] If any two adjacent second images are defined as the first second image and the second second image, and the first second image is clustered to obtain multiple first clusters, and the second second image is clustered to obtain multiple second clusters;

[0159] Then the second cluster associated with each first cluster is: the second cluster among the plurality of second clusters, the second cluster having the smallest difference between the corresponding pixel mean and the pixel mean corresponding to the first cluster.

[0160] In one example, if the sliding parameter value of the i-th second image (the minimum value of i is 1 and the maximum value is the total number of multiple second images) is set to ,but It can be expressed as:

[0161]

[0162] in, is the pleural line probability value of the key area of ​​the i-th second image, is the pleural line probability value of the key area of ​​the i+1th second image, It can be understood as the probability difference coefficient corresponding to the i-th second image, is the offset distance of the qth cluster corresponding to the ith second image (specifically, the difference in cluster critical distance between the qth cluster corresponding to the ith second image and its associated cluster in the i+1th second image), is the total number of clusters obtained by clustering in the key interval of the i-th second image, It can be understood as the position difference coefficient corresponding to the i-th second image.

[0163] Step S4: Analyze the sliding sign parameter value of each second image to obtain the chest cavity characteristic value corresponding to each second image.

[0164] Among them, the multiple chest cavity feature values ​​corresponding to the multiple second images are key data for forming the disease identification result of the target patient.

[0165] The plurality of chest cavity characteristic values corresponding to the plurality of second images are key data for forming the identification result of the condition of the target patient, which can be understood as follows: the plurality of chest cavity characteristic values corresponding to the plurality of second images will affect the formation of the identification result of the condition of the target patient.

[0166] In the application, the plurality of chest cavity characteristic values can be used as an auxiliary index for a doctor to diagnose the chest disease of the target patient, so that the doctor can more accurately determine the chest disease of the target patient.

[0167] Further, a difference between the sliding sign parameter value of each second image and the sliding sign parameter value of the adjacent second image is analyzed to obtain a sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to each second image.

[0168] A difference between the anechoic area of each second image and the anechoic area of the adjacent second image is analyzed to obtain an area difference coefficient corresponding to each second image.

[0169] According to the sliding sign difference coefficient and the area difference coefficient corresponding to each second image, a chest cavity characteristic value corresponding to each second image is obtained.

[0170] In the ultrasonic detection process, due to the obstruction of the liquid, when the ultrasonic energy passes through the liquid (usually pleural effusion), an anechoic area (represented as a black area in the ultrasonic image) is formed, so the anechoic area can be understood as an area corresponding to the pleural effusion in the second image.

[0171] It should be understood that the anechoic area of each second image is specifically the total area of one or more anechoic areas existing below the key area (i.e., the pleural line) of the second image.

[0172] In the application, it is found that when the patient has a condition such as pneumothorax, although theoretically the patient's lung will not show a sliding sign, the sliding sign may still be detected in the actual detection process (such as in the early stage of pneumothorax), so the sliding sign parameter value of each second image cannot effectively represent the difference between different chest diseases.

[0173] To solve the above problem, the application calculates the difference between the sliding sign parameter values of adjacent second images to obtain a sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to each second image, so as to extract the strong and weak change trend of the sliding sign in the corresponding detection period; and the area difference of the anechoic area between adjacent second images is calculated, so as to extract the change trend of the pleural effusion of the target patient in the corresponding detection period, so as to comprehensively form the chest cavity characteristic value which can comprehensively and accurately indicate the chest cavity condition of the target patient by combining the sliding sign and the pleural effusion.

[0174] Exemplarily, the process of analyzing the difference between the sliding sign parameter value of each second image and the sliding sign parameter value of the adjacent second image of each second image to obtain the sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to each second image can be:

[0175] calculating the ratio between the sliding sign parameter value of each second image and the sliding sign parameter value of the adjacent second image of each second image to obtain the sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to each second image.

[0176] Further, the process of analyzing the difference between the anechoic area of each second image and the anechoic area of the adjacent second image of each second image to obtain the area difference coefficient corresponding to each second image comprises:

[0177] obtaining the anechoic area of each second image, wherein the anechoic area is a region below the corresponding key region and the mean value of the pixel values of a plurality of pixel points in the region is less than or equal to a set threshold value;

[0178] counting the number of pixel points included in the anechoic area of each second image to obtain the anechoic area of each second image;

[0179] calculating the difference between the anechoic area of each second image and the anechoic area of the adjacent second image of each second image to obtain the area difference value corresponding to each second image;

[0180] determining the absolute value of the area difference value corresponding to each second image as the area difference coefficient corresponding to each second image.

[0181] Exemplarily, the set threshold value can be 5 or 10, and the value range of the pixel value is 0 (pure black) ~ 255 (pure white).

[0182] In one example, the area difference coefficient corresponding to the i-th second image can be represented as:

[0183]

[0184] wherein, represents the total number of anechoic regions included in the i-th second image, represents the total number of anechoic regions included in the i+1-th second image, represents the area of the j-th anechoic region in the i-th second image, represents the area of the j-th anechoic region in the i+1-th second image.

[0185] ​​Further, the chest feature value corresponding to each second image is obtained according to the sliding sign difference coefficient and the area difference coefficient corresponding to each second image, and the chest feature value corresponding to each second image is obtained according to the sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to each second image.

[0186] The sliding sign similarity coefficient corresponding to each second image is obtained according to the sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to each second image, and the sum of the sliding sign similarity coefficient and the corresponding sliding sign difference coefficient is 1.

[0187] The product of the sliding sign similarity coefficient corresponding to each second image and the corresponding area difference coefficient is calculated to obtain the chest feature value corresponding to each second image.

[0188] The chest feature value corresponding to the i th second image is The chest feature value corresponding to the i th second image can be expressed as:

[0189]

[0190] Wherein, The sliding sign parameter value of the i th second image is represented as, The sliding sign parameter value of the i+1 th second image is represented as, The sliding sign difference coefficient corresponding to the i th second image is represented as, The sliding sign similarity coefficient corresponding to the i th second image is represented as.

[0191] In summary, the present application first performs image analysis on a plurality of first images to determine the key region indicating the pleural line in each first image, so as to avoid image interference caused by subcutaneous fat by accurately positioning the position of the pleural line, and then identifies a plurality of second images corresponding to the same ultrasonic detection position from the plurality of first images, and analyzes the pixel change between the key region of each second image and the key region of the adjacent second image to identify whether the target patient shows the pleural sliding sign in the detection period corresponding to the plurality of second images, and accordingly analyzes the chest feature value of each second image, that is, obtains the key data that can accurately reflect the physiological characteristics of the chest of the target patient, so as to assist in identifying the chest condition of the target patient according to the obtained key data. Compared with conventional measures such as image noise reduction, the present application extracts key data from a plurality of ultrasonic images to reflect the physiological characteristics of the chest of the target patient through a plurality of chest feature values instead of ultrasonic images, which can effectively avoid various image noises existing in ultrasonic images under complex working conditions and improve the image processing effect obtained by ultrasonic images.
