Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of image medical processing, in particular to an image medical multi-modal data fusion processing system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the modern medical field, image diagnosis has become one of the key means for disease diagnosis and treatment plan formulation. With the rapid development of technology, various medical imaging modalities have emerged, such as positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc. Each modality has its unique imaging principle and advantages. However, the image of a single modality often cannot provide sufficient and accurate information, limiting the early diagnosis and precise treatment of diseases.
[0003] PET can reflect the metabolic function of the human body from the molecular level, and has important value in early detection of tumors, efficacy evaluation, etc. However, the spatial resolution of PET images is relatively low, and the anatomical structure is not clear enough, which can easily cause errors in judging the location and range of lesions. For example, when diagnosing brain tumors, it is difficult to accurately distinguish the boundary between tumors and surrounding normal tissues relying only on PET images, which may lead to inaccurate surgical resection range and affect treatment effect.
[0004] CT has high spatial resolution and can clearly present the anatomical structures of human bones, organs, etc. However, CT mainly images based on tissue density differences, and has limited ability to detect some functional lesions. In the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, CT is difficult to directly reflect the metabolic status of myocardium, and cannot accurately judge whether there is functional abnormality such as myocardial ischemia.
[0005] MRI performs well in soft tissue imaging and can provide rich soft tissue contrast information. However, MRI examination time is relatively long, and the cooperation of patients is required. The imaging process is easily disturbed by motion artifacts. When examining children or patients who cannot maintain stillness for a long time, motion artifacts may seriously affect image quality, leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.
[0006] In addition, some problems in the image acquisition process also need to be solved. For example, PET imaging requires the use of radioactive drugs, and the selection of drug dosage has always been a difficult problem. If the dosage is too high, it will increase the risk of radiation exposure for patients and harm their health; if the dosage is too low, it will lead to decreased image quality, increased noise, reduced lesion contrast, and affect diagnostic accuracy. Currently, the determination of radioactive drug dosage in clinical practice often lacks scientific and precise methods, and mostly relies on the experience of doctors, which makes it difficult to ensure that each examination can obtain the best image quality and diagnostic effect.
[0007] In the aspect of image processing and analysis, the traditional method is mostly for processing single modality image, which cannot fully utilize the complementary information of multi-modality image. Moreover, in the key links of lesion region segmentation, image edge enhancement and image reconstruction parameter optimization, there are many deficiencies in the existing technical means. The traditional lesion segmentation algorithm has low accuracy and is prone to segmentation errors or omissions; the image edge enhancement method may introduce noise, resulting in loss of image details; the adjustment of image reconstruction parameters lacks effective strategies, which cannot guarantee the reconstruction quality while taking into account the calculation efficiency.

[0063] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0064] Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides a multimodal data fusion processing system for medical imaging, the overall implementation of which is as follows:
[0065] The system first operates through a multimodal data acquisition module, using a dynamic PET scanner to acquire dynamic PET time-activity curves. These curves contain information on the metabolism of the radiopharmaceutical in vivo over time, serving as crucial foundational data for subsequent analysis.
[0066] After acquiring dynamic PET time-activity curves, the dynamic PET parametric analysis module performs parametric modeling on the acquired curves based on a hemodynamic model. It uses a convolutional neural network to extract blood flow features and fuses hemodynamic parameters from multiple time points using a temporal attention mechanism, ultimately generating dynamic parametric images. These images can more intuitively display hemodynamic changes within tissues, providing doctors with richer diagnostic information.
[0067] The dose-image quality optimization module constructs a correlation model between radiopharmaceutical dose and image quality. It generates simulated PET images at low doses using a generative adversarial network (GAN), and then optimizes the dose-image quality tradeoff function using reinforcement learning to output the optimal dose allocation scheme. This approach ensures that image quality meets diagnostic requirements while minimizing the radiopharmaceutical dose received by the patient, thus reducing radiation hazards.
[0068] A multi-objective fusion model processes multimodal image data. This model performs feature-level fusion based on an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm, optimizing the fusion weight matrix by introducing adaptive inertial weights and dynamic learning factors, thereby generating a multimodal fused image. This fused image integrates the advantages of multiple modalities, providing more comprehensive and accurate medical information.
[0069] Finally, the hierarchical processing control module further processes the multi-modal fusion image. The module adopts a hierarchical adaptive control strategy, including a global optimization layer, a local correction layer, and an execution layer. The global optimization layer performs lesion region segmentation based on the multi-modal fusion image to determine the approximate position and range of the lesion; the local correction layer performs image edge enhancement according to the segmentation result to make the lesion edge clearer; and the execution layer adjusts the image reconstruction parameters through a model predictive control algorithm to optimize the reconstruction effect of the image and improve the image quality.
[0070] The implementation of the present application will be further described below in connection with Examples 1 to 5.
[0071] Example 1
[0072] This example mainly focuses on the parametric modeling of dynamic PET time-activity curves based on a hemodynamic model in the dynamic PET parametric analysis module. First, a two-compartment model is constructed to describe the metabolism of the radiopharmaceutical in the tissue, which consists of a plasma compartment and a tissue compartment. In the plasma compartment, the change in drug concentration is affected not only by the input function but also by the clearance rate. Assuming that the plasma compartment concentration is , the input function is , and the clearance rate is , the plasma compartment concentration equation is: where the integral represents the cumulative effect of the product of the input function and the clearance rate exponential function from the start to time In the tissue compartment, assuming that the tissue compartment concentration is , the blood flow rate is , and the extraction fraction is , the tissue compartment concentration equation is which reflects the relationship between the tissue compartment concentration and the plasma compartment concentration, as well as the blood flow rate and the extraction fraction. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used to numerically solve the above differential equation set, and in the solving process, the time step is adaptively adjusted according to the curve slope. If the curve slope changes greatly, it means that the drug concentration changes rapidly, and in this case, the time step is reduced to improve the solving accuracy; otherwise, the time step is appropriately increased to improve the calculation efficiency. At the same time, the model parameters are estimated by the Bayesian optimization algorithm to construct the parameter posterior probability distribution, and the Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling is used to generate parameter estimation values. After completing the model construction, a convolutional neural network is used to extract features from the time-activity curve. The convolutional neural network includes a time series convolution layer, a max pooling layer, and a fully connected layer, where the size of the convolution kernel of the time series convolution layer is and the step size is The time convolution layer extracts features on the time sequence by convolving the time-activity curve in the time dimension with a specific size of convolution kernel. The max-pooling layer filters the features after convolution, retains the main features, and reduces the data volume. The fully connected layer integrates the processed features and outputs the feature vector. Then, the multi-head attention mechanism is used to fuse the blood flow parameters at different time points. The multi-head attention mechanism calculates the importance weight of each time point parameter. Assuming that the weight of the first time point is , the fused dynamic parameterized image is generated by weighted sum of parameters at different time points, i.e. . Finally, the post-processing network of the parameterized image is constructed. The residual structure is used to suppress image noise, and the channel attention mechanism is used to enhance the weight of the blood flow feature channel, further optimizing the image quality.
[0073] Embodiment 2
[0074] This embodiment focuses on the construction of the correlation model between the dose of radiopharmaceuticals and the image quality in the dose-image quality optimization module. First, the dose-image quality trade-off function is defined, which includes the dose penalty term, the noise level term and the lesion contrast term. Let the injection dose be , the dose penalty term is calculated by the square sum of the injection dose, i.e. the dose penalty term , where represents the dose of each injection, and the square sum of all injection doses is calculated to punish high dose. Assuming that the standard deviation of the PET image is , the noise level term is calculated by the standard deviation of the PET image, i.e. the noise level term , the larger the standard deviation, the more the image noise. Assuming that the SUV value of the lesion area is , and the SUV value of the background is , the lesion contrast term is calculated by the SUV ratio of the lesion area to the background, i.e. the lesion contrast term , the larger the ratio, the higher the distinction between the lesion and the background. The trade-off function is the combination of the three terms, as shown in , where , , are weight coefficients used to adjust the importance of each term in the trade-off function. Then a generative adversarial network is constructed, the generator takes low-dose PET projection data as input and outputs high-dose simulated images. The structure of the generator includes: the input layer receives the sinogram of low-dose PET projection data; the encoder part adopts 3 layers of convolutional layers to compress the feature dimension, and each layer of convolution is followed by instance normalization and LeakyReLU activation; the decoder part adopts 3 layers of transpose convolutional layers to restore the spatial resolution, and the last layer uses the Tanh activation function to constrain the output range. The spectral normalization technique is introduced to stabilize the generator training process, and the spectral norm of the weight matrix of the convolutional layer is limited. The discriminator adopts a multi-scale convolutional structure to distinguish the authenticity of the image. The deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm is used to optimize the dose allocation strategy, the state space is the current dose distribution and the image quality index, the action space is the dose adjustment amount, and the reward function is based on the weighted combination of the trade-off function. Through continuous iteration optimization, the optimal dose allocation scheme is found.
[0075] Embodiment 3
[0076] This embodiment details the process of feature-level fusion of multi-modal image data based on an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm in a multi-objective fusion model. First, a multi-objective optimization function is defined, including a feature similarity term, an information entropy term, and a modality complementarity term. Let the feature maps of modalities and modalities be and respectively, the feature similarity term is calculated by the structural similarity of the feature maps between modalities, and the structural similarity index is calculated as , where , are the mean values of the feature maps , , , are the standard deviations of the feature maps , , is the covariance of and , , are constants used to maintain the stability of the calculation. The information entropy term is calculated by the information entropy value of the fused image, the greater the information entropy, the more information the image contains. Let the feature difference of modalities and modalities be , the modality complementarity term is calculated by the covariance matrix of the feature difference between modalities, assuming that the covariance matrix is , then the modality complementarity term is related to . An adaptive inertia weight update rule is designed, and the inertia weight decays exponentially with the number of iterations. The decay factor The particle diversity index is negatively correlated with the particle diversity index, The inertia weight decays more slowly, which can maintain the global search ability of particles in the early stage of the algorithm and gradually enhance the local search ability in the later stage. The non-dominated sorting strategy is used to screen the Pareto optimal solution set, calculate the dominance relationship of each particle, and mark the non-dominated individuals as the first front layer. The crowding degree sorting algorithm is used to sort the solutions in the same front layer, and the crowding degree is calculated by the difference in hyper volume of adjacent solutions in the target space. An elite reservation strategy is designed to reserve the top 20% non-dominated solutions in each generation to enter the next generation population. Finally, the optimal fusion weight matrix is selected from the solution set by entropy weight method.

ResNet-50 extracts features from the input multi-modal fusion image through a series of convolutional layers and residual blocks, which can obtain feature information at different scales of the image. The decoder gradually restores the resolution through transposed convolution, upsamples the features extracted by the encoder, and finally outputs the segmentation result. A multi-task loss function is designed, including Dice loss, edge perception loss and lesion shape constraint term. Let the segmentation result be , the true label be , the Dice loss be This loss function is used to measure the overlap between the segmentation result and the true label. The closer the value is to 1, the better the segmentation effect. The Sobel operator is used to calculate the gradient difference of the segmentation boundary, and the edge perception loss is designed accordingly. Assuming that the boundary gradient of the segmentation result calculated by the Sobel operator is , the true label boundary gradient is , and the edge perception loss is This loss function can make the segmentation boundary closer to the true boundary.

The Laplacian operator is sensitive to the high-frequency components of the image. The high-frequency component preservation term , the larger the value, the better the preservation of the high-frequency components of the image. The smoothing term is calculated by the gray difference of adjacent pixels. Assuming that the gray values of adjacent pixels are and , the smoothing term is , the smaller the value, the smoother the image. An iterative optimization algorithm is used to alternately update the filtering network parameters and edge enhancement weights until the convergence condition is met, so that the image edge is enhanced.
