[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0057] The medical imaging scanning control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The computer device shown can be a terminal. It includes a processor, memory, input / output interfaces, a communication interface, a display unit, and an input device. The processor, memory, and input / output interfaces are connected via a system bus, and the communication interface, display unit, and input device are also connected to the system bus via the input / output interfaces. The processor provides computing and control capabilities. The memory includes non-volatile storage media and internal memory. The non-volatile storage media stores the operating system and computer programs. The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of the operating system and computer programs in the non-volatile storage media. The input / output interfaces are used for exchanging information between the processor and external devices. The communication interface is used for wired or wireless communication with external terminals; wireless communication can be achieved through Wi-Fi, mobile cellular networks, Near Field Communication (NFC), or other technologies. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements a medical imaging scan control method. The display unit is used to form a visually visible image and can be a display screen, a projection device, or a virtual reality imaging device. The display screen can be an LCD screen or an e-ink screen. The input device of the computer device can be a touch layer covering the display screen, or buttons, trackballs, or touchpads set on the casing of the computer device, or external keyboards, touchpads, or mice, etc.

[0058] For example, the computer device that implements the above medical imaging scanning control method is a nuclear magnetic resonance system, and the image obtained is a magnetic resonance image.

[0059] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown is merely a block diagram of a portion of the structure related to the present application and does not constitute a limitation on the computer device to which the present application is applied. Specific computer devices may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a medical imaging scanning control method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking a computer device as an example, the explanation includes the following steps:

[0061] S210. Receive the target protocol type and target style type selected by the user in the protocol configuration interface; the protocol configuration interface is used to provide the imaging protocol type and at least two image style types, the target style type determines the imaging result of the target protocol type, the target style type is determined by image quality features, and the image quality features include at least one of resolution, contrast and signal-to-noise ratio.

[0062] The protocol configuration interface includes a protocol type list and a style type list. The protocol type list displays the pre-set supported imaging protocol types, and the style type list displays the pre-set supported image style types for users to select.

[0063] For example, the imaging protocol type can be a magnetic resonance imaging sequence, and the imaging protocol types supported by the device include procedure protocols, body part protocols, category protocols, etc. Image style types can include a sharp style with strong contrast between tissues in the image, a soft style with smooth contrast between tissues, an AI style after artificial intelligence (AI) denoising, or an image style for a specific resolution, such as high resolution, normal resolution, or low resolution, etc.

[0064] Optionally, after the user completes login and registration, the computer device enters the protocol configuration interface and displays a list of protocol types and a list of style types to receive the user's selection of an imaging protocol type from the protocol type list and an image style type from the style type list. Upon receiving the user's selection of an imaging protocol type from the protocol type list, the computer device can use the selected imaging protocol type as the target protocol type; similarly, upon receiving the user's selection of an image style type from the style type list, it can use the selected image style type as the target style type. For example, such as... Figure 3 The protocol configuration interface shown has a protocol type list on the left, which can include various imaging protocol types such as process protocol, body part protocol, and type protocol. The style type list on the right can include various image style types such as sharp style, soft style, and AI style.

[0065] It should be noted that the protocol configuration interface can display both a list of protocol types and a list of style types for users to choose from simultaneously. Alternatively, the protocol type list can be displayed first, followed by the style type list after the user selects the target protocol type, allowing the user to freely switch between image style types and thus determine the target style. The order of image style types in the style type list can be preset or dynamically changed based on the user's historical selections.

[0066] For example, the registration information entered by a user during login includes user information that identifies the user, such as a username or ID. After the user selects a target protocol type, the computer device can read the user's historical selection records of image style types based on the user's identity information, sort all image style types in the style type list according to their selection frequency from high to low, and display each image style type in the style type list according to this sorting. Alternatively, the device can specifically obtain the user's historical selection records of image style types for the target protocol type, and similarly sort and display all image style types in the image style type list according to their selection frequency from high to low.

[0067] S220. Determine the target imaging protocol based on the target protocol type and target style type.

[0068] The imaging protocol is used to characterize the set of imaging parameters used in the imaging process. Different imaging protocols correspond to different sets of imaging parameters, which may be different in the types of imaging parameters or different in the values ​​of the imaging parameters.

[0069] Optionally, after obtaining the target protocol type and target style type selected by the user, the computer device can determine the imaging protocol corresponding to the target protocol type and target style type as the target imaging protocol based on the preset type-protocol correspondence. The preset type-protocol correspondence characterizes the correspondence between the imaging protocol type, image style type, and imaging protocol, and there is a one-to-one correspondence among the three.

[0070] S230. Perform medical imaging processing on the area to be imaged according to the target imaging protocol to obtain an image in the target image style.

[0071] The medical imaging processing includes a scanning process that uses electromagnetic waves to scan the area to be examined and collect scan data, a reconstruction process that reconstructs an image based on the scan data, and may also include an image post-processing process that adjusts the image display effect of the reconstructed image.

[0072] Image style is used to characterize the display effect of an image, and each image style type corresponds to a specific image style. The target image style is the image style generated under the action of the target imaging protocol. This target image style can be applied to a single image or a series of images obtained through imaging.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the left image represents a soft style image, while the right image represents a sharp style image. It can be seen that the contrast between tissues in the left image is not as obvious as that in the right image.

[0074] Optionally, after determining the target imaging protocol, the computer device can perform medical imaging processing on the area to be examined according to the imaging parameter set corresponding to the target imaging protocol to obtain an image in the target image style. For example, when the imaging processing includes the aforementioned scanning process, reconstruction process, and image post-processing process, the imaging parameter set corresponding to the target imaging protocol includes the scanning parameters involved in the scanning process, the reconstruction parameters involved in the reconstruction process, and the post-processing parameters involved in the image post-processing process. The computer device then sequentially performs the scanning process according to the scanning parameters, the reconstruction process according to the reconstruction parameters, and the image post-processing process according to the post-processing parameters to obtain an image in the target image style.

[0075] In this embodiment, the target imaging protocol is determined based on the target protocol type and target style type selected by the user in the protocol configuration interface. Medical imaging processing is then performed on the area to be imaged according to the target imaging protocol to obtain an image of the target image style. The protocol configuration interface provides the imaging protocol type and at least two image style types, and the target style type determines the imaging result of the target protocol type. The target style type is determined by image quality features, including at least one of resolution, contrast, and signal-to-noise ratio. In this method, by providing at least two image style types through the protocol configuration interface, the user can independently select the image style type according to their diagnostic habits / needs to obtain an image with an image style that matches their diagnostic habits / needs. This improves the compatibility between the image style and the user's diagnostic habits, and consequently improves the accuracy of the diagnostic results derived from the image with that image style.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the imaging protocol types provided by the protocol configuration interface are grouped according to the scanned site.

[0077] The protocol configuration interface pre-configures the supported imaging protocol types, which can be grouped and set according to the scanned area.

[0078] For example, the protocol configuration interface includes multiple options for scanning sites. The computer device can display the imaging protocol type corresponding to the scanning site in response to the selection of the scanning site option. The imaging protocol type displayed at this time is the imaging protocol type adapted to the scanning site selected by the user.

[0079] In this embodiment, the imaging protocol types provided in the protocol configuration interface are grouped according to the scanned area. In the above method, grouping the imaging protocol types according to the scanned area makes it easier for users to select the imaging protocol type based on the actual scanned area, improving the convenience of actual operation.

[0080] An imaging protocol is essentially a set of imaging parameters; based on this, in one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the above-mentioned S220, determining the target imaging protocol based on the target protocol type and target style type, includes:

[0081] S510. Determine the parameters to be adjusted that affect the target style type from among the protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type.

[0082] Image style is influenced by protocol parameters in the imaging protocol, with different protocol parameters affecting different image style types. For example, the image styles supported by the computer device include: sharp style, soft style, and AI style. For an imaging protocol with an FSE sequence, the corresponding protocol parameters include selection filter parameters and K-space filter parameters during the reconstruction process. The selection filter parameters and K-space filter parameters mainly affect the AI ​​style.

[0083] Optionally, after obtaining the target protocol type and target style type selected by the user, the computer device can acquire the protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type and determine the parameters affecting the target style type as parameters to be adjusted. For example, if the target protocol type is A and the target style type is Style1, the computer device can determine the set of protocol parameters {A1, A2, A3, A4, A5} corresponding to the target protocol type A based on the correspondence between imaging protocol types and protocol parameter sets. Based on the correspondence between image style types and protocol parameters, the computer device can determine that the protocol parameters affecting the target style type Style1 within the set {A1, A2, A3, A4, A5} are A1, A2, and A5, and then use these protocol parameters as parameters to be adjusted.

[0084] S520: Adjust the parameters to be adjusted according to the target style type to obtain the target imaging protocol.

[0085] Optionally, the computer device can adjust the determined parameters to be adjusted according to the parameter requirements of the target style type to obtain the target imaging protocol.

[0086] Adjusting the parameter to be adjusted means adjusting the parameter value of the parameter to be adjusted. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the above-mentioned S520 adjusts the parameters to be adjusted according to the target style type to obtain the target imaging protocol, including:

[0087] S610. Adjust the parameter value of the parameter to be adjusted to reach the parameter range of the corresponding target style type.

[0088] Optionally, after determining the parameters to be adjusted, the computer device can read the parameter range of the target style type corresponding to each parameter to be adjusted in advance, and adjust the parameter value of each parameter to be adjusted to the corresponding parameter range based on this.

[0089] For example, continuing the above example, the computer device reads that for the target style type Style1, the parameter range of parameter A1 to be adjusted is [m, n], the parameter range of parameter A2 to be adjusted is [p, q], and the parameter range of parameter A5 to be adjusted is [x, y]. The computer device then adjusts the parameter value of parameter A1 to reach the parameter range [m, n], adjusts the parameter value of parameter A2 to reach the parameter range [p, q], and adjusts the parameter value of parameter A3 to reach the parameter range [x, y].

[0090] S620. Generate the target imaging protocol based on the adjusted parameter values ​​of the parameters to be adjusted and the default values ​​of other protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type.

[0091] Among them, the other protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type are the remaining protocol parameters that have not been identified as parameters to be adjusted among all the protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type.

[0092] Optionally, after adjustment, the computer device can combine the adjusted parameter values ​​of the parameter to be adjusted with the default values ​​of other protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type to form a protocol parameter set, which will serve as the target imaging protocol. For example, continuing the above example, the protocol parameter set corresponding to the target imaging protocol is {A1', A2', A3, A4, A5'}, where A1', A2', and A5' represent the protocol parameters after parameter value adjustment.

[0093] In this embodiment, parameters affecting the target style type are determined from the protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type. These parameters are then adjusted according to the target style type to obtain the target imaging protocol. Specifically, the adjustable parameter values ​​are set to reach the parameter range corresponding to the target style type. The target imaging protocol is then generated based on the adjusted parameter values ​​and the default values ​​of other protocol parameters corresponding to the target protocol type. This method determines the parameters affecting the target style type based on the target protocol type and target style type, and adaptively adjusts the parameter values ​​to meet the parameter range of the target style type, thereby obtaining the target imaging protocol. This improves the matching degree between the target imaging protocol and the user's desired target style type, and consequently improves the adaptability of the image style obtained from imaging to the user's expectations, contributing to improved reliability of subsequent diagnostic analysis.

[0094] The target style type can also be obtained through user-defined configuration. Therefore, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0095] S710, in response to a style customization command triggered by the user in the protocol configuration interface, displays the style customization configuration interface.

[0096] Optionally, the protocol configuration interface displays a style customization option. Users can select this style customization option to trigger a style customization command, and the computer device will respond to the style customization command by displaying the style customization interface. For example, the computer device can directly switch the protocol selection interface to the style customization interface, or it can overlay the style customization interface on top of the protocol configuration interface.

[0097] S720: Determine the target style type based on the user's input in the style customization configuration interface.

[0098] Optionally, the style customization interface includes multiple image quality features that affect the image style type. Users can set the values ​​of each image quality feature based on their own diagnostic habits / needs, and the computer device will generate the corresponding target style type based on the values ​​of each image quality feature set by the user.

[0099] In this embodiment, in response to a style customization command triggered by the user in the protocol configuration interface, a style customization configuration interface is displayed, and the target style type is determined based on the user's input in the style customization configuration interface. The above method, through the style customization configuration interface, enables users to customize image style types, improving the flexibility of image style type configuration and simultaneously increasing the diversity of image styles obtainable through imaging, thereby improving the adaptability of image styles to user diagnostic habits.

[0100] The style customization configuration interface allows users to set the level of image quality characteristics. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned S720, determining the target style type based on the user's input operation in the style customization configuration interface, includes:

[0101] S810 receives the setting of the target image quality features selected by the user in the style customization configuration interface.

[0102] The target image quality feature is the image quality feature selected by the user. Image quality features represent parameters used to evaluate image display quality and can affect image style, but are not protocol parameters. For example, image quality features can be resolution, contrast, or signal-to-noise ratio, etc. Multiple settings can be included, such as high, medium, and low.

[0103] Optionally, the style customization configuration interface may include image quality features involved in at least one process in the imaging process, including the scanning process, the reconstruction process, and the image post-processing process. Users can adjust the settings of any one or more image quality features, and the computer device will take the image quality feature selected by the user as the target image quality feature and receive the setting of the target image quality feature.

[0104] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the left side represents the initial style customization configuration interface, while the right side represents the style customization configuration interface after the user adjusts the image quality feature settings. Users can adjust the settings by dragging the slider next to the image quality feature. The style customization configuration interface also includes a sample image captured under the current image quality features, allowing users to preview the image style. Figure 9 The image in the upper right corner of the Chinese style custom configuration interface is the example image shown. Param 1-3 in the image can represent the resolution, contrast, or signal-to-noise ratio respectively.

[0105] It should be noted that the style customization configuration interface includes import and export functions, which can be used to import and export image styles. The computer device can respond to the user's selection of the import function to import the image style chosen by the user; specifically, this involves displaying the target image quality characteristics corresponding to the selected image style in the style customization interface. Similarly, the computer device can respond to the user's selection of the export function to export the image style set by the user; specifically, this involves exporting and saving the target image quality characteristics set by the user in the style customization interface as the user's custom image style and adding it to the style type list in the protocol configuration interface.

[0106] S820. Determine the target style type based on the setting of the target image quality characteristics.

[0107] Optionally, after obtaining the setting level of the target image quality features, the computer device can determine the image style type corresponding to the setting level of the target image quality features based on a preset correspondence, and use it as the target style type.

[0108] In this embodiment, the system receives the setting level of the target image quality feature selected by the user in the style customization configuration interface, and then determines the target style type based on the setting level of the target image quality feature. This method enables users to customize the target style type, thereby adjusting the image style, increasing the diversity of image styles obtainable through imaging, and the configuration process is convenient, quick, and has a low barrier to entry, making it easy for users to operate.

[0109] In practical applications, there are situations where users are dissatisfied with the style of the acquired images. To address this, in one embodiment, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the above method also includes:

[0110] S1010, In response to a post-processing instruction for an image of the target image style, display the post-processing selection interface.

[0111] Optionally, after obtaining an image of the target image style, the user can trigger a post-processing instruction based on the image. The computer device then responds to the post-processing instruction by displaying a post-processing selection interface. For example, the user can select an image of the target image style, double-click or right-click to display a selection menu, and select a post-processing item from the selection menu to trigger a post-processing instruction.

[0112] S1020. Determine the target post-processing style based on the user's selection operation in the post-processing selection interface.

[0113] Post-processing styles are related to image styles, and can influence image styles. The post-processing selection interface includes a list of post-processing styles, which displays pre-set post-processing styles supported by the device for the user to choose from.

[0114] Optionally, the computer device presents a list of post-processing styles on the post-processing selection interface to receive the user's selection operation for a post-processing style in the list. After receiving the user's selection operation for a post-processing style in the list, the computer device can use the user's selected post-processing style as the target post-processing style.

[0115] For example, users can also directly open the post-processing selection interface, such as... Figure 11As shown, images can be found through patient information in the left column, and post-processing instructions can be triggered according to actual needs. The right column displays a list of post-processing styles for users to select.

[0116] S1030. Based on the post-processing parameters corresponding to the target post-processing style, perform image post-processing on the image of the target image style to obtain the target image with the updated image style.

[0117] Optionally, after determining the target post-processing style, the computer device can determine the post-processing parameters corresponding to the target post-processing style based on the correspondence between post-processing styles and post-processing parameters, and perform image post-processing on the already obtained image of the target image style according to the post-processing parameters to change the target image style and obtain a target image with an updated image style. For example, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the left image is the target image style obtained before the user-triggered post-processing command, and the right image is the target image obtained after the user-triggered post-processing command and the image style is updated.

[0118] In this embodiment, in response to a post-processing instruction for an image with a target image style, a post-processing selection interface is displayed. The target post-processing style is determined based on the user's selection on the interface. Then, based on the post-processing parameters corresponding to the target style, image post-processing is performed on the image with the target image style to obtain a target image with an updated style. In this method, the image style can be adjusted after imaging by triggering a post-processing instruction to obtain a target image whose style meets the user's requirements, without needing to re-import through protocol adjustments, thus improving imaging efficiency.

[0119] In one embodiment, this application also provides a medical imaging device, comprising:

[0120] The scanner is located in the scanning room;

[0121] The display is mounted on the scanner or located in the control room, and the display has a protocol configuration interface;

[0122] processor;

[0123] The memory stores one or more programs that, when executed by the processor, enable the medical imaging device to:

[0124] Responding to user actions in the protocol configuration interface to select the target protocol type;

[0125] In response to the user's operation in the protocol configuration interface to set the target style type, the target style type determines the imaging result of the target protocol type. The target style type is determined by image quality features, which include at least one of resolution, contrast and signal-to-noise ratio.

[0126] Determine the target imaging protocol based on the target protocol type and target style type;
