This invention discloses an AI-assisted
diagnostic system for CT rib fractures based on image recognition, belonging to the field of smart healthcare technology. It includes recognizing the patient's contour using thermal
imaging data, constructing a respiratory model to analyze
respiratory status, and automatically triggering CT
image acquisition of the ribs at the optimal
inhalation moment. Subsequently, artifact detection is performed; if qualified, the
system is handed over to AI for intelligent fracture diagnosis, achieving a
fully automated process from
image acquisition to diagnosis. This invention uses non-contact thermal imaging to monitor
respiration and
body movement, constructing a respiratory model that integrates chest contour and
airflow temperature changes, accurately identifying the optimal
inhalation moment to trigger CT acquisition, reducing
motion artifacts at the source and improving
image quality. The
system is highly robust, automatically determining the optimal
acquisition time even under conditions of clothing or weak
breathing, reducing reliance on patient cooperation, and is particularly suitable for rib fracture patients, improving examination success rate and efficiency.
