[0033] The standardized report generation module conforms to the standards of the International Association of Pathologists (IAP) and includes spectral graphs, a list of characteristic peaks, and confidence scores, reducing manual writing time by more than 80%.

[0034] Federated learning ensures privacy: Through differential privacy and homomorphic encryption, medical institutions can train models locally and exchange parameters in an encrypted manner, avoiding the risk of data leakage. Experiments show that cross-center CT image feature alignment efficiency is improved by 37%, and the accuracy of lung nodule identification reaches 97.3%.

[0035] Model compression technology reduces the number of parameters to 18%, increases inference speed by 4.2 times, adapts to edge computing devices, and enables real-time diagnosis in remote areas.

[0036] Dynamic calibration and incremental learning: The input feature distribution threshold is automatically updated daily. Combined with the model monitoring mechanism, the accuracy of identifying rare subtypes (such as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis) is improved to 92%, avoiding model drift.

[0037] Molecular pathological correlation analysis: Raman spectroscopy was used to capture changes in glomerular filtration membrane composition (e.g., 1200-1600 cm⁻¹). -1 By combining band intensity changes with AI models, the degree of collagen fiber proliferation can be quantified (R0). 2 The R² = 0.89 and the amount of immune complex deposition (R² = 0.84) provide molecular-level evidence for disease subtyping.
