Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a multimodal feedback control method and system for a femtosecond laser lithotripsy. Background Art

[0002] In the field of minimally invasive treatment of urinary stones, laser lithotripsy has become a common clinical treatment due to its efficient and precise lithotripsy capabilities. Femtosecond lasers, leveraging the nonlinear optical effects of their ultrashort pulse width, can achieve a "cold ablation" lithotripsy process within an extremely short timescale, significantly reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissues and possessing high clinical development potential. Compared to traditional nanosecond laser devices, femtosecond lasers can achieve high energy density focusing without significant thermal diffusion, thus achieving a better balance between lithotripsy efficiency and tissue protection.

[0003] However, the current device systems used for femtosecond laser lithotripsy still have key bottlenecks in terms of intraoperative accuracy and real-time response capabilities. On the one hand, most existing systems rely solely on a single visual imaging method for spatial positioning of stones, lack the ability to obtain real-time information on the target depth dimension, and are easily affected by complex physiological factors such as intracavitary tissue overlap, gas interference, and intraoperative respiratory displacement, resulting in fiber positioning errors and affecting the targeting accuracy of the laser. On the other hand, existing equipment generally relies on the operator's experience to distinguish between stones and tissues, and lacks a real-time stone composition identification mechanism during surgery. As a result, the laser energy parameter setting cannot adapt to the physical properties of the target, increasing the risk of tissue accidental injury and inefficient lithotripsy.

[0004] Furthermore, in narrow anatomical structures (such as stenotic ureters or edematous tissue), traditional systems lack effective monitoring mechanisms for the safe operating distance between the fiber tip and the stone, further increasing the possibility of misdirected energy delivery during surgery. While some existing systems attempt to incorporate ultrasound assistance and preoperative image registration mechanisms, they still lack real-time performance, integration, and intelligent decision-making capabilities.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a multimodal fusion control method for the femtosecond laser lithotripsy process. By integrating multidimensional perception methods such as spectral component recognition, ultrasonic position detection and vision-assisted navigation, a multi-source information-driven feedback control mechanism is constructed to achieve dynamic adaptive adjustment and closed-loop control of laser parameters, thereby improving the accuracy, safety and intraoperative response efficiency of lithotripsy.

[0066] Example 1:

[0068] Establish a spectral component analysis process, collect the plasma spectral signal generated by the target area under laser irradiation through a fiber optic spectrum acquisition device, and perform target chemical composition identification based on the plasma spectral signal;

[0069] Establish an ultrasonic position detection process, obtain the ultrasonic echo signal of the target area by setting the ultrasonic transmitting transducer and the ultrasonic receiving transducer, and calculate the spatial distance between the laser end and the target by combining the time difference parameter;

[0070] Set up a visually assisted positioning process to obtain real-time image data through a micro-endoscope and generate spatial image information between the fiber end and the target area;

[0071] Construct a multimodal information fusion process to fuse spectral recognition results, distance parameters, and spatial image information to complete the synchronous processing of multi-source data;

[0072] Set up the laser control scheduling process, generate laser parameter control instructions based on the fusion results, and adjust the energy parameters, frequency parameters and emission timing of the femtosecond laser;

[0073] Execute real-time feedback control process, obtain feedback information during surgery, and complete control parameter updates and closed-loop response.

[0074] The present invention is further configured such that the spectral component analysis process includes:

[0075] A high-sensitivity fiber optic spectrum acquisition device is coaxially integrated with the femtosecond laser transmission fiber to collect the spectral signal generated by the laser in the target area in real time through the plasma excitation area;

[0076] Extract characteristic spectral lines from the collected spectrum based on the spectral feature extraction algorithm, call the built-in spectral standard data set for spectral line matching, and complete the identification process of the target chemical component;

[0077] The type of information required for laser parameter adjustment is determined by analyzing the results. Specifically, based on the principles of plasma spectroscopy, the plasma spectra generated by stones of different chemical compositions under femtosecond laser induction have characteristic fingerprint spectral lines. For example, uric acid stones have specific absorption peaks in the 300nm-350nm band, while calcium oxalate stones have characteristic emission spectra in the 400nm-450nm band.

[0078] The present invention is further configured such that the spectrum recognition process uses a feature recognition algorithm to perform spectral line analysis, including:

[0079] The original spectral data is degraded based on the principal component analysis method, and the main spectral line factors are screened to construct the feature vector;

[0080] A classifier is constructed by combining a supervised machine learning algorithm, and the feature vector is compared with the spectral template in the standard database to realize the stone type identification output. Specifically, the spectral analysis uses the stone composition identification model to perform fast spectral matching and feature comparison with the pre-built stone spectral standard database. It can accurately identify the chemical composition of stones within sub-second time, and adaptively adjust key parameters such as the femtosecond laser pulse energy and repetition frequency in real time to achieve personalized and precise lithotripsy.

[0081] The present invention is further configured such that the ultrasonic position detection process includes:

[0082] The ultrasonic transmitting transducer is set to generate a pulsed excitation signal under fixed frequency conditions, which is emitted along the axial direction of the laser fiber and penetrates the tissue to the target area; specifically, the ultrasonic transmitting transducer uses high-frequency broadband piezoelectric ceramic materials to transmit ultrasonic signals in the direction of the stone in the form of pulse waves, and its center frequency is set to 5-10MHz to ensure good penetration and resolution in human tissue. The ultrasonic receiving transducer is used to capture the echo signal reflected by the stone interface. The distance calculation unit is based on the principle of transit time, combined with the ultrasonic sound velocity parameters of human tissue calibrated before surgery, and the formula d=c×Δt / 2, where d is the distance from the end of the optical fiber to the stone, c is the ultrasonic sound velocity, and Δt is the time difference between emission and reception, accurately calculates the spatial distance between the optical fiber and the stone. When it is detected that the distance exceeds the safety threshold, the system will trigger the sound and light warning mechanism to assist the operator to adjust the optical fiber position in time to ensure that the laser energy effectively acts on the stone target area;

[0083] An ultrasonic receiving transducer is arranged coaxially with a transmitting transducer to receive an echo signal reflected from a target surface;

[0084] Through signal processing, the received echo signal is denoised and feature extraction is performed, and the distance information of the target position is extracted in combination with time parameters, and the spatial distance is output in real time. Specifically, the distance between the optical fiber and the stone is calculated based on the principle of transit time measurement and the ultrasonic sound velocity compensation algorithm of human tissue.

[0087] Set up a cold light source with a high color rendering index to provide continuous and uniform illumination of the surgical area to enhance image quality;

[0088] The system uses high-speed image acquisition to transmit real-time video signals captured by the endoscope. Image enhancement and edge recognition algorithms are then combined to extract target region boundary features and fiber-optic spatial image information. Specifically, the visual assistance module consists of a micro-HD endoscope imaging unit, an LED cold light source illumination unit, and an image display terminal. The micro-endoscope is integrated into a flexible sheath and features high-definition macro imaging. The LED cold light source utilizes a high-color rendering index (CRI) white LED array. The micro-endoscope utilizes a CMOS image sensor, enabling high-definition resolution and macro imaging. Its front end and laser fiber are integrated into the flexible sheath, enabling deep penetration into human cavities to obtain real-time images of stones and surrounding tissues. The LED cold light source utilizes a high-color rendering index (CRI>90) white LED array, which is uniformly illuminated through a light-guiding fiber, avoiding the thermal damage to tissues caused by traditional thermal light sources. The captured real-time images are transmitted to the surgical display terminal via a high-speed data transmission interface. The surgeon can visually observe stone morphology, location, and the relative spatial relationship between the fiber and the stone through a high-definition visualization interface, enabling precise, vision-guided surgery and real-time surgical navigation.

[0089] The present invention is further configured such that the multimodal information fusion process includes:

[0090] Receive multi-source perception data including spectrum recognition results, distance parameters and spatial image information;

[0091] Call multi-channel synchronous sampling and timestamp alignment to calibrate the time consistency between different modal data;

[0092] By constructing a fusion discriminant model to extract cross-modal feature information, a linkage mapping structure of target category-spatial position-tissue image is established to generate fusion decision parameters.

[0094] Define component intensity, spatial proximity, and image recognition confidence as fuzzy input variables;

[0095] Set the control weight coefficients under different input variable combinations based on the rule base;

[0096] Fusion output results are generated through fuzzy membership functions and inference engines to support nonlinear scheduling decisions of control parameters. Specifically, based on the FPGA and DSP heterogeneous computing architecture, multimodal information fusion processing is achieved through fuzzy logic decision-making algorithms, and closed-loop control of parameters such as the pulse energy, frequency, and pulse width of the femtosecond laser lithotripsy is performed through the control bus.

[0097] The present invention is further configured such that the laser control scheduling process includes:

[0098] According to the component judgment label, spatial distance parameter and image auxiliary information output by the fusion model, the preset laser parameter configuration rule library is matched;
