Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oral image screening, in particular to an oral scanning device used for oral image screening. Background Art

[0002] Oral cell cancer is a common malignant tumor. Early detection and treatment have an important impact on the patient's survival rate and quality of life. Image screening is a rapid and non-invasive detection method that can be used to assist doctors in diagnosing oral cancer. Chinese patent document CN 111563887 A records a method and device for intelligent analysis of oral images based on vision, but the scheme is mainly based on conventional visual images for analysis. It fails to reach microscopic tissue and cell images. "Research on Oral Cancer Image Recognition Based on Deep Learning" by Jiao Long records a scheme for oral cancer pathological image recognition based on convolutional neural networks, and introduces various different models, but these models are usually large and the recognition processing time is long. And the models are all trained based on high-quality image data. When used in actual image recognition, the actual application effect of these models is poor due to the large number of unsatisfactory images collected in clinical images. The technical problem further discovered is that oral epithelial cells are polygonal or rectangular and are about 20-30 microns in size. The cytoplasm contains many small granular substances, called organelles, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, etc. There are many glycoprotein molecules on the outside of the cell membrane, called adhesion molecules, which play a role in interacting with neighboring cells or tissues. In addition, some unstained substances can be seen, which may be cell nuclei or cytoplasmic fragments. These will also interfere with the normal operation of the model during image recognition, resulting in a decrease in recognition accuracy. Moreover, the scope of the oral cavity is large, and sampling of tissues at different locations may result in large differences in recognition results. Clinically, cases have been found in which the results obtained by sampling patients at different locations in the oral cavity are completely different. Due to the large scope of the oral cavity, more images need to be collected. How to quickly locate the abnormal position of the patient's oral tissue and improve the accuracy of image acquisition is difficult. The above technical difficulties have hindered the development of oral pathology recognition and increased the difficulty of early detection of oral cancer. It should be noted that the records in the background technology are not an admission of the prior art. The inventors raise new technical issues, which are also part of their innovative contributions. Utility Model Content

The oral cavity scanning device of the utility model is easy to use and has a good recognition effect.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] The oral image screening method using an oral scanning device includes the following methods:

[0042] In step S01, an intraoral image is collected by a conventional scanning method using an oral scanning device, and during the collection process, the intraoral image is collected using blue laser and white light to obtain a fluorescent image a and a white light image b. The wavelength of the blue laser is 415nm~530nm.

[0043] In step S02, the fluorescent image a and the white light image b are input into different recognition models A and B respectively, and the output results are input into the decision tree, random forest tree or gradient boosting tree model to output the abnormal position of the oral cavity.

When the co-convergent laser light source is started, multiple light source units simultaneously focus on one point to stimulate the fluorescent image of the indicative fluorescent agent, and the image acquisition head (3) collects the fluorescent image stimulated by the co-convergent laser light source in a scanning manner.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, in step S02, the fluorescent image a and the white light image b are input into different recognition models A and B respectively, the oral histology image c is input into the recognition model c, and the output result is input into a decision tree, a random forest tree or a gradient boosting tree model to output the oral abnormality location;
