Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a method and system for early warning of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risks based on multimodal ultrasound features. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth in demand for early screening of cardiovascular diseases, medical institutions are increasingly emphasizing accurate early warning of cardiovascular risks. Current technologies typically collect single-modality ultrasound data, calculate cardiovascular risk parameters using fixed thresholds or simple models, and send warning information based on a unified alarm mechanism to support disease intervention. However, existing solutions lack comprehensive analysis of multi-modality ultrasound characteristic data, accurate calculation of risk parameters, and multi-level threshold matching and dynamic allocation of alarm devices for risk levels. This makes it difficult to achieve timely, tiered warnings. Commonly used, crude or delayed alarm strategies cannot adapt to individual differences and risk severity, resulting in insufficient targeted early intervention. This can easily lead to cardiovascular events due to misjudgment of risk or delayed alarms, limiting the preventative effect and clinical application value of ultrasound screening. Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings that urgently need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

This enables accurate cardiovascular risk classification and early warning based on multimodal ultrasound, improving the timeliness and targeting of early intervention for cardiovascular diseases, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events caused by risk misjudgment or alarm delays. Detailed explanations follow.

[0031] Example 1 Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for early warning of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risks based on multimodal ultrasound features, as disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described method for early warning of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risks based on multimodal ultrasound features can be applied to data processing systems / data processing equipment / data processing servers (wherein, the server includes local processing servers or cloud processing servers). For example... Figure 1 As shown, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk warning method based on multimodal ultrasound features may include the following operations: 101. Obtain ultrasonic feature data of multiple modalities of the target object.

[0032] Optionally, the ultrasound feature data can be morphological feature data, dynamic feature data, or physiological feature data.

[0033] Optional, morphological data may include at least one of carotid intima-media thickness, plaque area, and vessel dilatation.

[0039] Optionally, the risk level can be one of four levels: low risk, medium risk, high risk, or extremely high risk. This invention does not limit the risk level.

[0040] 104. Based on the risk level and the pre-defined correspondence between the risk level and alarm strategy, determine the alarm devices and alarm data corresponding to the target object.

[0041] Optionally, the alarm device can be a smart bracelet worn by the patient, a family member's mobile app, or a terminal of a nearby emergency center; this invention does not limit the scope of the device.

[0042] As can be seen, the above-described embodiments of the invention acquire multiple modal ultrasound feature data of the target object and calculate cardiovascular risk parameters based on a data analysis model. They then determine the risk level according to multi-level risk threshold rules and match the corresponding alarm device to send alarm data. This enables accurate cardiovascular risk classification and early warning based on multimodal ultrasound, improves the timeliness and pertinence of early intervention for cardiovascular diseases, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events caused by risk misjudgment or alarm delay.

[0045] Optionally, the training dataset is derived from 50,000 clinical ultrasound examination reports and follow-up diagnostic results; this invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0046] Optionally, the data fusion can be achieved through feature splicing, attention mechanism fusion, or a combination of early fusion and late fusion; this invention does not impose any limitations on this method.

Its input layer receives multidimensional feature vectors and basic patient information, the hidden layer performs nonlinear feature cross and temporal correlation analysis, and the output layer outputs a probability score of stroke or myocardial infarction occurring in the future. Specifically, the model supports online updates and automatically fine-tunes individual baseline parameters as user data accumulates, thereby improving the accuracy of personalized predictions.

[0049] As can be seen, through the above optional embodiments, multimodal fusion data is obtained by fusing all ultrasound feature data, and cardiovascular risk parameters are output by combining the user parameter input with the trained risk prediction model. This enables accurate risk quantification assessment based on fused data and personalized parameters, improves the accuracy and individual adaptability of risk parameter calculation, and reduces the risk of risk assessment bias caused by modal isolation or neglect of user parameters.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the risk prediction model in the above steps includes a cross-prediction model and a time-series prediction model; the cross-prediction model is used to extract cross-correlation features from ultrasound feature data of any two modalities and output a predicted first risk probability based on the extracted cross-correlation features; the time-series prediction model analyzes and predicts time-series data formed by multimodal fusion data at multiple time points to output a predicted symptom time and a second risk probability; the cardiovascular risk parameters are specifically calculated through the following steps: The cross-risk parameter is obtained by weighted summation of all first risk probabilities; optionally, the calculation weight corresponding to each first risk probability is proportional to the historical association frequency corresponding to the two ultrasound feature data; the historical association frequency is the proportion of records in the historical diagnostic records that are diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and have both ultrasound feature data abnormalities out of the total number of records. Calculate the time difference between the predicted symptom time and the current time, and calculate the time weight that is proportional to the time difference; The time-series risk parameter is obtained by multiplying the time weight and the second risk probability.

This achieves accurate parameter calculation of cross-time-series dual risk fusion, improves the comprehensiveness and foresight of risk assessment, and reduces the risk of risk parameter distortion caused by a single prediction path.

[0054] As an optional embodiment, the step above, determining the alarm device and alarm data corresponding to the target object based on the risk level and the preset correspondence between risk level and alarm strategy, includes: For each candidate alarm device, calculate the matching degree between the candidate alarm device and the risk level; The candidate alarm device with the highest matching degree is determined as the alarm device corresponding to the target object; optionally, the alarm device is the target object's terminal device, family member terminal device, or emergency center terminal device; It generates alarm data including cardiovascular risk parameters and sends the alarm data to the alarm device to trigger an alarm.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, the step of calculating the matching degree between the candidate alarm device and the risk level in the above steps includes: Obtain the average historical risk level of each record in the historical alarm records of the candidate alarm device; Calculate the logarithmic value corresponding to the difference between the risk level and the average level to obtain the matching degree between the candidate alarm device and the risk level.

[0058] Optionally, the logarithmic value can be log(1 + |diff|), where diff is the difference between the risk level and the average level. This calculation operation can ensure that the greater the difference, the lower the matching degree. This invention does not limit this.

[0059] As can be seen, through the above optional embodiments, the logarithm of the difference between the average risk level of the historical alarm records of candidate alarm devices and the current risk level is calculated as the matching degree, so as to accurately select suitable alarm devices in the future, realize accurate alarm device selection and information push based on historical matching, and improve the targeting and response efficiency of alarms.
