[0043] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for detecting vascular stenosis provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is at least applicable to the scenario of detecting the risk of stenosis in in-stent vessels in clinical settings. This method for detecting vascular stenosis can be, but is not limited to, executed by the vascular stenosis detection device in this embodiment of the present invention as the executing entity, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this method for detecting vascular stenosis includes at least the following steps:

[0044] S1. Obtain PCCT images of stents from any patient and locate the stent position in the images.

[0045] Step S1 can be achieved using any existing stent detection network, which can employ neural network models or multi-classification network models, etc.

[0046] In one specific implementation, the stent positioning process can be as follows:

[0047] (1) Obtain the pre-identified region of the stent in the PCCT image of the stent.

[0048] Specifically, the stent pre-identification area can be marked as area A, that is, area A in the stent PCCT image is the stent pre-identification area.

[0049] (2) Perform feature extraction on the pre-identified area of ​​the stent to generate a feature image of a preset size.

[0050] Specifically, the pre-identified region of the support can be imaged to generate a local region image; further, feature extraction can be performed on the local region image to generate a feature image of a preset size.

[0051] It is understood that the preset size can refer to a fixed length or a fixed dimension. Specifically, region image extraction can be performed on the aforementioned region A to generate a first local region image, a second local region image, and a third local region image; further, a neural network is used to extract features from the first local region image to generate a first feature image of fixed length; further, a neural network is used to extract features from the second local region image to generate a second feature image of fixed length; further, a neural network is used to extract features from the third local region image to generate a third feature image of fixed length.

[0052] It is understandable that the first feature image, the second feature image, and the third feature image can have the same length. The reason for this setting is that, from the perspective of matrix representation, only feature images with the same size or length can be combined.

[0053] (3) Combine the features of the feature images to generate a pre-identified scaffold image.

[0054] Specifically, feature combination can be performed on the generated fixed-length first feature image, second feature image, and third feature image to generate a pre-identified scaffold image.

[0055] (4) Perform stent detection on the pre-identified stent image to locate the stent position in the stent PCCT image.

[0056] Specifically, stent detection can be performed on pre-identified stent images. If a pre-identified stent image is detected as a stent, the detection result of the stent in the stent PCCT image can be obtained, and the stent position in the stent PCCT image can be located.

[0057] S2. Perform stent boundary identification based on stent location in stent PCCT images to obtain at least a boundary fitting curve.

[0058] Since vascular stents are mostly tubular mesh structures, the stent boundaries in stent PCCT images may appear as "discontinuous highlights." Therefore, based on the stent location determined in step S1, pixels above a preset CT threshold can be selected from the stent PCCT image, and the outer and inner contours of the stent can be fitted accordingly. In another specific implementation, the boundary fitting curve refers at least to the aforementioned fitted inner contour of the stent.

[0059] S3. Perform image region segmentation based at least on the boundary fitting curve to obtain at least the vascular region features.

[0060] One approach is to segment vascular region features using image region segmentation methods based on deep learning algorithms, which may include the following steps:

[0061] Data acquisition and cleaning: Select the original PCCT images of the stent, acquire the selected original PCCT images of the stent and desensitize them, clean the data according to the preset exclusion criteria, remove case images that affect identification and annotation, eliminate potential image interference in the images, and integrate them into a research dataset for subsequent annotation, training and validation.

[0062] Data annotation: Desensitized image data is manually annotated using strategies such as semi-automatic iterative annotation and hierarchical annotation to reduce the annotation workload of doctors and improve the efficiency of building the image region segmentation database. Contour annotation follows a coarse-to-fine principle. First, the vascular region features are manually coarsely annotated to obtain the coarsely annotated vascular region features. Based on the coarsely annotated vascular region features, a preliminary image region segmentation model is built. Subsequently, the vascular region contours are automatically generated based on this model, manually annotated and modified, and the model is repeatedly trained and tested using subsequent batches of finely annotated data to iteratively optimize the model accuracy. This is the semi-automatic iterative annotation method.

[0063] Data partitioning: The labeled stent PCCT image atlas is divided into training and test sets according to a certain ratio. For example, the training set can be divided into 10 equal-sized folds, and after 10 cross-validations, the optimal model hyperparameters are selected through grid search. The model hyperparameters are then fine-tuned using 10x cross-validation on the training set. In this process, the training data is divided into roughly equal-sized subsets; training uses a subset, while validation is performed on the remaining subset. The optimized model then enters the testing phase, with the test set independent of the training set.

[0064] Blood vessel region segmentation: Based on fully convolutional neural networks, models including but not limited to BASNet, UNet, and Mask R-CNN can be used. The training loss function is adjusted, replacing the original model's fusion loss with Focal Loss. This simplifies the loss function while improving edge detection capabilities and training stability. A small amount of data is used as a validation set during training to verify the model's performance. By observing changes in the loss metrics of the training and validation sets, training is terminated promptly to prevent overfitting.

[0065] Test data: Input the test set, load the image region segmentation model, output the 3-value map of the blood vessel region segmentation (i.e. the aforementioned blood vessel region features), and save the output results.

[0066] S4. At least the vascular region features and stent PCCT images are input into the pre-trained generative network model to output corrected vascular images.

[0067] Among them, generative network models can be selected from GAN (Generative Adversarial Network), VAE (Variational Autoencoder), Flow (Flow Model), Diffusion (Diffusion Model), and AR (Autoregressive Model), etc.

[0068] For example, the basic idea of ​​the Diffusion Model is to view the data generation process as a Markov chain. Starting with the target data, each step approaches random noise until a state of pure noise is reached. Then, through the reverse process, the data is gradually restored from pure noise to the target data. This process is typically described by a series of conditional probability distributions.

[0069] More specifically, the pre-training process of a Diffusion Model can include:

[0070] (1) Forward process: Starting from real data, noise is gradually added until a state of pure noise is reached. In this process, the noise level at each step needs to be calculated and saved.

[0071] (2) Reverse process: Starting from pure noise, the noise is gradually removed until the target data is recovered. In this process, a neural network (usually a U-Net structure) is used to predict the noise level at each step and generate data accordingly.

[0072] (3) Optimization: The model is trained by minimizing the difference between the real data and the generated data. Commonly used loss functions include MSE (mean squared error) and BCE (binary cross-entropy).

[0073] S5. Perform vascular stenosis detection procedures based at least on modified vascular images to at least identify vascular stenosis lesions.

[0074] The standard for detecting vascular stenosis can adopt the internationally used grading standard for the degree of coronary artery stenosis as follows: if the stenosis rate is <25%, it is considered as mild stenosis; if the stenosis rate is between 25% and 49%, it is considered as mild stenosis; if the stenosis rate is between 50% and 69%, it is considered as moderate stenosis; if the stenosis rate is ≥70%, it is considered as severe stenosis.

[0075] In another specific implementation, step S5 may optionally include at least: using a preset stenosis detection network (which may be part of a generative network model) to perform a vascular stenosis detection operation based at least on the modified vascular image, so as to at least identify vascular stenosis lesions.

[0076] The technical solution provided in this embodiment first acquires a PCCT image of a stent from any patient and locates the stent position within the image; further, it performs stent boundary recognition based on the stent position in the PCCT image to obtain at least a boundary fitting curve; further, it performs image region segmentation based at least on the boundary fitting curve to obtain at least vascular region features; further, it inputs at least the vascular region features and the PCCT image of the stent into a pre-trained generative network model to output a corrected vascular image; finally, it performs a vascular stenosis detection operation based at least on the corrected vascular image to identify at least the vascular stenosis lesion. Therefore, this embodiment provides at least one PCCT-based in-stent vascular stenosis detection process, which can at least alleviate the difficulty of detecting in-stent vascular stenosis in existing methods and help reduce the interference of the stent on the stenosis detection results.

[0077] It should be noted that, in addition to the identification error caused by the tubular mesh structure of the vascular stent, the identification error caused by the volume effect of PCCT images should also be considered.

[0078] In view of this, in another specific implementation, optionally, image region segmentation is performed at least based on the boundary fitting curve to obtain at least vascular region features, specifically including:

[0079] Image region segmentation is performed at least based on the boundary fitting curve to obtain vascular region features and stent region features.

[0080] In another specific implementation, optionally, at least the vascular region features and stent PCCT images are input into the pre-trained generative network model to output corrected vascular images, specifically including at least:

[0081] The vascular region features, stent region features, and stent PCCT images are input into the pre-trained generative network model to output corrected vascular images.

[0082] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for detecting vascular stenosis provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this method for detecting vascular stenosis includes at least the following steps:

[0083] S1. Obtain PCCT images of stents from any patient and locate the stent position in the images.

[0084] S2. Perform stent boundary identification based on stent location in stent PCCT images to obtain at least a boundary fitting curve.

[0085] S6. Perform image region segmentation based at least on the boundary fitting curve to obtain vascular region features and stent region features.

[0086] S7. Input the vascular region features, stent region features, and stent PCCT images into the pre-trained generative network model to output corrected vascular images.

[0087] S5. Perform vascular stenosis detection procedures based at least on modified vascular images to at least identify vascular stenosis lesions.

[0088] Compared to the previous embodiment, this embodiment obtains both vascular region features and stent region features through image region segmentation. It is understood that this embodiment, by inputting vascular region features, stent region features, and stent PCCT images into the pre-trained generative network model, produces a corrected vascular image that takes into account the recognition error caused by the volume effect of PCCT images, compared to the corrected vascular image output by the pre-trained generative network model in the previous embodiment, which only inputs vascular region features and stent PCCT images. This results in higher image accuracy and helps improve the precision of stenosis detection.

This embodiment is at least applicable to the scenario of detecting the risk of stenosis in in-stent vessels in clinical settings.
