Intelligent phenotyping system for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on three-dimensional reconstruction of airway tree

By constructing a gas-blood coupling topology graph and utilizing dual graph neural networks and implicit neural field generation techniques, we have achieved a synchronous quantitative assessment of airway and vascular lesions, solving the phenotypic confusion problem caused by ignoring the vascular tree in existing systems, and providing a more accurate phenotypic classification of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing intelligent phenotyping systems for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) only model and analyze the airway tree separately, ignoring the closely coupled pulmonary vascular tree. This results in the classification results failing to accurately reflect the full picture of the disease and the potential risk of progression, thus affecting the accuracy of individualized treatment decisions.

Method used

A gas-blood coupling topology map is constructed, and dual graph neural networks and implicit neural field generation technology are used to achieve joint characterization and synchronicity quantification of the spatial co-occurrence patterns of airway and vascular lesions, generating coupled enhanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease phenotypic classification results.

Benefits of technology

By integrating pathological information from the airway and vascular tree, the system accurately distinguishes between synchronous and decoupled remodeling regions, providing multi-dimensional phenotypic classification results. This overcomes the phenotypic confusion of existing systems and provides quantitative assessment data for clinical practice.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种基于气道树三维重建的慢性阻塞性肺疾病表型智能分型系统,属于医学图像处理与智能辅助诊断技术领域。现有分型系统仅分析气道树而忽略血管树信息,无法区分气道重塑与血管稀疏化的耦合模式。本发明通过图构建模块构建包含跨树连接关系的气‑血耦合拓扑图;图编码模块利用对偶图神经网络生成联合特征表示;场生成模块通过隐式神经场解码器输出联合状态标量场;同步计算模块计算气‑血重构同步性指标;输出模块生成同步性标量场图像并输出耦合增强型表型分类结果。本发明将血管树病理信息纳入分型框架,实现了对气‑血耦合病变模式的精准表征与可视化。
