Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of visual detection technology, and in particular relates to a seminal vesiculoscope identification and positioning system based on vision enhancement technology. Background Art
[0002] The demand for minimally invasive surgery for seminal vesicle disorders (such as hematospermia, inflammation, stones, and outlet obstruction) is increasing year by year. "Windowing" through the prostate's cystic cavity to access the seminal vesicle is a key surgical principle and method for treating these conditions. The weakest area connecting the prostate's cystic cavity to the seminal vesicle provides the most critical and safest path for windowing / breaking the wall to enter the seminal vesicle.
[0003] Existing endoscopic systems mainly use white light imaging, and near-infrared and fluorescence imaging are not fully utilized. Since the prostate cyst cavity is adjacent to the rectum and neurovascular bundle, the incidence of surgical complications (such as rectal fistula and seminal vesicle injury) is as high as 5% to 15%, and intelligent intraoperative navigation and safety assurance technologies are still needed.
[0004] In traditional seminal vesiculoscopic surgery, the structure of the prostate cyst cavity is complex and varies greatly from person to person. It is difficult to clearly distinguish between solid tissue and weak areas (such as potential perforation risk areas) by relying solely on white light endoscopy, which can easily lead to misjudgment during surgery. Although existing equipment can switch between white light / fluorescence / near-infrared modes, the data are displayed independently and rely on the surgeon's subjective integration. There is a lack of automated fusion analysis of multi-spectral features, and it is impossible to generate an intuitive weak area positioning map in real time. The positioning of weak areas relies on experience, and the puncture process lacks real-time tissue mechanical feedback and intelligent early warning mechanisms, which can easily cause rectal injury or seminal vesicle penetration. After surgery, it relies on manual observation of drainage effects and structural changes, and lacks immediate verification methods during surgery, which increases the risk of secondary surgery.
[0005] Existing technologies have problems such as difficulty in identifying anatomical structures, insufficient utilization of multimodal data, low puncture navigation accuracy, and delayed surgical verification. Summary of the Invention

[0148] Example 2:
[0149] See also Figure 4 A seminal vesiculoscope recognition and positioning system based on visual enhancement technology is used to implement the above-mentioned seminal vesiculoscope recognition and positioning method based on visual enhancement technology, including a multimodal image acquisition module, a multi-dimensional feature extraction module, an RGB heat map generation module, a neural network optimization training module, a target positioning and dynamic marking module, an intelligent puncture feedback control module, and a surgical result verification module;
[0150] The multimodal image acquisition module uses a seminal vesiculoscope to enter the prostate cyst cavity through the urethra, observes the anatomical structure in white light endoscopy mode to obtain white light images, switches to dual-spectrum excitation mode, and separately organizes the fluorescence image of the body itself, penetrates the tissue layer to obtain near-infrared images, and uses an integrated three-channel CMOS sensor to synchronously capture the above white light, fluorescence, and near-infrared image data to form complete real-time prostate cyst cavity image data;
[0151] The multi-dimensional feature extraction module processes the fluorescence image data using the fluorescence intensity distribution function based on the real-time prostate cyst image data to obtain a solid tissue fluorescence feature map reflecting the distribution of solid tissue; calculates the scattering gradient amplitude of the near-infrared image and combines it with the weak area feature mapping formula to generate a scattering gradient feature map reflecting the difference in tissue scattering characteristics; and applies the gradient operator to process the white light image data to extract a white light edge feature map that enhances anatomical contour information;
[0152] The RGB heat map generation module fuses the extracted solid tissue fluorescence feature map, scattering gradient feature map and white light edge feature map to obtain a real-time RGB heat map of the prostate cyst cavity;
[0153] The neural network optimization training module trains a convolutional neural network using historical prostate cyst image data composed of historical solid tissue fluorescence feature maps, scattering gradient feature maps, white light edge feature maps, and weak area masks. A genetic algorithm is used to dynamically optimize the network's learning rate parameters. By constructing a chromosome population, defining a fitness function based on training accuracy, and performing iterative operations such as selection, crossover, and mutation, the optimal learning rate is ultimately found, thereby training a high-precision weak area separation neural network.
[0154] The target location and dynamic marking module uses a weak area separation neural network, combined with solid tissue fluorescence feature maps, scattering gradient feature maps, and white light edge feature maps, to obtain a real-time weak area mask. The real-time weak area mask is binarized and connected area analyzed, and the center of mass coordinates are located. The center of mass coordinates that meet the conditions are selected as target coordinates. The target coordinates are marked on the real-time prostate cyst RGB thermal map, providing intuitive visual guidance for the puncture operation.
[0155] The intelligent puncture feedback control module guides the operator to perform the puncture operation according to the heat map of the marked target; it performs real-time pressure detection during the puncture process and responds to it until the puncture is successful;
[0156] After a successful puncture, the surgical result verification module evaluates the drainage effect by observing the drainage of the seminal vesicle fluid; confirms whether the characteristic "double black hole" wall-breaking channel structure appears; obtains the surgical verification confirmation result, and makes an overall judgment on the success of the operation.
