Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical image data processing solution design, and in particular to a medical image data processing method, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Although medical image processing technology has made significant progress in recent years, it still faces multi-dimensional technical bottlenecks. Traditional methods are highly dependent on data annotated by professional physicians, but the annotation cost is high and there are subjective differences. Especially for rare diseases, the lack of data makes model training difficult. Existing deep learning models have significant defects in multimodal data fusion. The differences in physical properties of different imaging devices (preferably including CT, MRI, and PET in the present invention) make it difficult to align the feature space, and the cross-modal information utilization efficiency is low. In addition, the domain offset problem caused by the parameter differences of medical equipment (preferably including the kilovolt peak of CT and the magnetic field strength of MRI in the present invention) seriously restricts the generalization ability of the model. The performance of the same algorithm in different medical institutions fluctuates significantly, which hinders clinical large-scale application.

[0003] There is a common contradiction between computational efficiency and accuracy in existing three-dimensional medical image processing. The computational delay of full-resolution three-dimensional convolutional networks cannot meet the real-time requirements of emergency scenarios, while reducing the resolution or simplifying the model will lead to an increase in the missed detection rate of subtle lesions. In terms of interpretability, there are cognitive differences between traditional visualization methods (the present invention preferably includes heat map generation) and clinical diagnostic logic, and doctors do not have enough trust in AI decision-making. The contradiction between privacy protection and data collaboration is particularly prominent, the phenomenon of medical data islands is common, and it is difficult to balance the communication overhead of traditional federated learning with the strength of privacy protection. In addition, compatibility issues between medical image analysis systems and existing hospital equipment (the present invention preferably includes PACS systems) occur frequently, and differences in data formats from different manufacturers lead to interruptions in clinical workflows and low efficiency in human-computer collaboration. These systemic defects jointly limit the clinical transformation and popularization of medical AI technology.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be further developed. Summary of the Invention

[0139] Example:

[0140] If the original CT image is 512×512×32 voxels (i.e., 512×512 pixels per layer, 32 layers in total), 1X downsampling maintains this resolution.

[0141] 4X (quarter resolution):

[0142] Each spatial dimension is reduced to 1 / 2 of its original size (area is reduced to 1 / 4, volume is reduced to 1 / 8).

[0143] Mathematical expression:

[0144] The input size H×W×D is transformed into the output size (H / 2)×(W / 2)×(D / 2).

[0145] Example:

[0146] 512×512×32 is converted to 256×256×16 (the total number of pixels is reduced to 1 / 8 of the original).

[0147] 8X (one-eighth resolution):

[0148] Each spatial dimension is reduced to 1 / 4 of its original size (area is reduced to 1 / 16, volume is reduced to 1 / 64).

[0174] As can be understood, this invention achieves multi-dimensional breakthroughs in medical image processing through its innovative technical architecture. First, a pre-training framework based on multimodal self-supervised learning significantly reduces reliance on labeled data. A cross-modal feature sharing mechanism exploits the potential value of unlabeled data, improving model robustness in small sample size scenarios. The dynamic domain adaptation module, through a device parameter-driven physical correction model, effectively eliminates image characteristic differences across centers and devices, ensuring stable diagnostic performance across different medical institutions. A hierarchical sparse convolutional network optimizes computational paths based on anatomical prior knowledge, reducing 3D processing latency to a clinically acceptable range while maintaining accuracy, balancing the real-time requirements of emergency scenarios with the detection of subtle lesions. A topologically constrained interpretability generation mechanism combines mathematical morphological features with clinical cognition, providing a decision-making basis consistent with medical logic and significantly enhancing physicians' trust in AI results. The optimized federated learning framework, while ensuring data privacy, achieves efficient and secure cross-institutional collaborative training through the collaborative design of gradient compression and noise injection. Furthermore, a dynamic resource scheduling strategy automatically optimizes the balance between processing accuracy and speed based on hardware conditions, broadening the scope of device applicability for this technology. These innovations have jointly promoted the leapfrog development of medical image analysis technology towards precision, real-time and reliability.
