Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical imaging technology, and in particular to a system and method for real-time monitoring of blood flow during radical resection of rectal cancer surgery by combining infrared thermal imaging technology and real-time image enhancement algorithm. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the medical field, rectal cancer, as one of the common malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, seriously threatens human health. According to relevant data, the incidence of rectal cancer in men is higher than that in women, and the relative high-risk age is 40-80 years old, and the incidence increases with age. At present, surgical resection is still an important means to cure rectal cancer, and radical resection of rectum is suitable for various conditions, such as low rectal cancer, etc.
[0003] In recent years, infrared thermal imaging technology has gradually attracted widespread attention in radical resection of rectal cancer due to its non-invasive and real-time monitoring of tissue blood flow and temperature changes. Its principle is to image according to the infrared radiation difference of the object, which can convert the infrared radiation distribution emitted by the object surface into a visible image. During the operation, this technology can judge the blood flow state of the tissue, and can prevent surgical risks and evaluate the effect of the operation during the operation.
[0004] However, in the actual operation scene, the infrared image faces many severe challenges. On the one hand, there are factors such as the reflection of the surface of surgical instruments, the illumination of surgical lamps, the approach of the hands of medical staff, and the movement caused by the breathing, heartbeat and operation displacement of the tissue itself. These factors cause the noise of the infrared image to increase significantly, and the contrast to decrease greatly, which seriously affects the accuracy of the judgment of the blood flow state during the operation. On the other hand, traditional image enhancement algorithms, such as histogram equalization and wavelet denoising, have exposed a series of problems in the dynamic operation environment. First, a single denoising or enhancement method is difficult to effectively retain image details while suppressing noise. Second, such algorithms lack targeted processing of multi-scale features, which can easily cause loss of high-frequency information, making the clarity and accuracy of the image greatly discounted. Third, traditional algorithms have deficiencies in real-time performance, which cannot meet the timeliness requirements of dynamic monitoring during the operation.
[0005] In addition, although existing deep learning models perform well in static image processing, they have obvious insufficient adaptability when faced with the dynamic characteristics of intraoperative infrared images, such as rapid tissue deformation and time-varying noise. These models have high complexity and are difficult to achieve efficient deployment in medical devices, limiting their application in actual operations.
[0006] In summary, in the actual operation of radical resection of rectal cancer, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can enhance the quality of infrared images in real time and accurately, and dynamically feedback blood flow information, in order to improve the accuracy and safety of the operation and provide more reliable support for the treatment of patients.

[0045] in, These are input features. Input features The result after processing by the Clip function and These are weighting coefficients. It is Local Adaptive Gamma Correction.
[0046] The detail branch introduces detail maps from DDPNet for feature stitching and expands the receptive field through dilated convolution.
[0047] Step S3: Multi-scale joint loss function
[0048] To achieve joint optimization of global structure and local details, this invention integrates four monitoring signals, including adversarial loss (…). Multi-scale SSIM loss ), contrast loss ( and loss of detail () The adversarial loss is based on the Wasserstein GAN optimization strategy, which constrains the distribution of the generated image by the discriminator output; the multi-scale SSIM loss measures the image fidelity by multi-scale structural similarity; the contrast loss constrains the similarity between low-frequency components and the target image; and the detail loss forces high-frequency details to align with the target residual.

To retain the previous It has several important channels, and performs hardware acceleration at the same time. It utilizes CUDA core parallel computing to map convolution operations to GPU thread blocks, enabling fast processing of each frame.

A lightweight deformation field estimation network (DFNet) is used to perform spatial registration correction between infrared and visible light images based on optical flow and thin-plate spline transformation (TPS). Deformation field From the formula Generate, where For reference frames (such as preoperative planning images). This is a real-time frame during surgery. The network outputs a control point displacement matrix, which is then interpolated using TPS to generate a dense deformation field, ensuring that pseudo-color layers can be overlaid within the same field of view during surgery. A micro-industrial computer loads software integrating the image enhancement algorithm of this invention. This algorithm incorporates innovative technologies such as multi-source dynamic registration, feature-level fusion, and a dual-branch collaborative network architecture, and is connected to AR glasses to provide intraoperative visual prompts.
[0221] Step Two: Intraoperative Image Acquisition and Real-time Processing After the surgery begins, the system simultaneously acquires long-wave infrared and visible light images, which are then processed in the multimodal image processing module. At this point, the multi-source dynamic registration and feature-level fusion technology of this invention is used to register images from different light sources before dynamic noise estimation and preprocessing. After registration, a dual-branch encoder is used to extract infrared features. and visible light characteristics ,Right now , Then, features are fused using an attention mechanism. ,in , For the Sigmoid function, This method uses adaptive weights. It adaptively selects complementary information from two modalities in a data-driven manner, providing a richer feature base for subsequent image enhancement.
[0222] Then, a dual-branch collaborative network architecture (DDPNet+CIMNet) is used to further process the fused image. The deep denoising prior network (DDPNet) adopts an improved U-Net structure, embedding detail-aware units (DAUs) in the encoder stage. It separates noise from tissue structure features through residual learning, dynamically extracting local detail residuals, as shown in the formula. ,in This represents the output value of the center pixel of the convolution kernel. Combined with an adversarial training strategy, the discriminator outputs an adversarial loss to constrain the realism of the generated image.
[0223] The contrast enhancement module (CIMNet) decomposes the image into low-frequency contrast components through multi-scale decoupling and Gaussian pyramid decomposition. ) and high-frequency detail components ( ). No. The formula for generating low-frequency components in the layer is as follows: ( ),in The number of decomposition layers, For the first Low-frequency components of the layer, Let be a Gaussian kernel function with a standard deviation of . The core weight is , For downsampling operators (usually intermittent sampling), initial conditions . No. Layer high-frequency detail residual calculation is as follows ,in This is an upsampling operator (bilinear interpolation). To address the corresponding detail residuals, the contrast branch employs global histogram stretching and local adaptive gamma correction to enhance the vascular structure, as shown in the formula: ,in It's the Clip function. It employs local adaptive gamma correction; the detail branch incorporates detail maps from DDPNet for feature stitching, and expands the receptive field through dilated convolution. This series of processes enhances the infrared image in real time, clearly highlighting the blood vessel contours and temperature difference boundaries.
[0224] When entering the abdominal cavity and freeing the inferior mesenteric artery and vein, the enhanced infrared image is compared with the background temperature to automatically depict the vessel contour and output a pseudo-color layer to the AR glasses. The system calculates the average temperature of the vessel area in real time and generates a curve. If a sudden temperature gradient occurs ( The system highlights the corresponding area to assist in locating the direction of blood vessels.
[0225] Step 3: Blood supply assessment before intestinal segment transection. The rectum is pulled out, and the surgeon plans to resect the segment 10cm above the tumor margin. The infrared system utilizes the innovative feature of a multi-scale joint loss function to focus on monitoring this area. The multi-scale joint loss function integrates adversarial loss (…). Multi-scale SSIM loss ), contrast loss ( and loss of detail () This approach achieves joint optimization of global structure and local details. The adversarial loss is based on the Wasserstein GAN optimization strategy, with the discriminator output constraining the generated image distribution; the multi-scale SSIM loss measures image fidelity through multi-scale structural similarity; the contrast loss constrains the similarity between low-frequency components and the target image; and the detail loss forces high-frequency details to align with the target residual.
[0226] Based on this, the system collects temperatures at the terminal, sub-terminal, and near-terminal points of the region, compares their thermal distribution maps, and automatically determines the temperature gradient. If the temperature in the terminal region is lower than that in the sub-terminal region... The system displayed a "insufficient blood supply" message and suggested adjusting the transection position. Activating 2x electronic zoom further enhanced the thermal texture details of the intestinal surface using image enhancement technology, assisting the surgeon in confirming the final transection location.
[0227] Step Four: Vessel Dissection and Temperature Response Assessment. After freeing the mesenteric vessels, the dissection operation is performed. The system uses real-time dynamic inference optimization technology to record images before and after dissection and generates a temperature response map. This invention adopts a lightweight design, performing channel pruning on DDPNet and CIMNet to retain key feature channels. The formula is as follows: ,in The sum of the absolute values of the convolution kernel weights, retaining the first... This is a crucial channel. Simultaneously, hardware acceleration is implemented, utilizing CUDA cores for parallel computing to map convolution operations to GPU thread blocks, enabling rapid processing of each frame and thus allowing for fast and accurate image recording and analysis.
[0228] Within 20 seconds of disconnection, the color of the corresponding area of the blood vessel on the temperature distribution map darkens significantly. The system automatically calculates the cooling rate and indicates "Blood flow interruption successful." If no significant cooling occurs, the system indicates "Suspected residual blood flow," prompting the operator to take further action.
[0229] Step 5: Post-intestinal segment suture blood supply monitoring. After the intestinal segment is severed, the proximal colon is pulled out of the anus and fixed, and intestinal suture is performed. The system acquires continuous infrared data of the suture area for 30 seconds and plots the temperature change trend curve of the anastomosis. A multi-scale joint loss function is used to ensure the accuracy and stability of the images. If the temperature rise in the anastomosis area lags behind... seconds, or temperature rise The system prompts "risk of blood supply to the anastomosis area," allowing the surgeon to decide whether to re-suture or dilate blood vessels. An infrared pseudo-color layer is superimposed on the visible light image for the surgeon to review the blood supply status of the anastomosis during the operation. This process is also based on multi-source dynamic registration and feature-level fusion technology to ensure accurate superposition and information complementarity between the two images.
[0230] Step Six: Postoperative Data Storage and Teaching Reuse. The system automatically saves keyframe images (comparison before and after severance, thermal images of the sutured area, and temperature curves) to the local database of the micro-industrial control computer. Medical staff can export surgical data for postoperative analysis and discussion; they can also play infrared and visible light fused images along a timeline for medical student teaching or expert review. After desensitization processing, the saved image data can also be used as a source of training samples for further algorithm optimization, continuously improving the image enhancement and intelligent analysis modules.
[0231] This embodiment uses the method provided in this application to achieve real-time visualization, quantitative judgment, and intelligent prompting of intestinal blood flow status during radical resection of rectal cancer through infrared thermal imaging, real-time image enhancement, multimodal fusion, and intelligent interpretation. This significantly improves the surgeon's accuracy in judging intestinal blood supply, effectively reduces the risk of postoperative complications such as anastomotic necrosis and intestinal necrosis, and also has good teaching and reuse value.
