Description

对称信息检测方法、装置、计算机设备和存储介质Symmetric information detection method, device, computer equipment and storage medium

技术领域technical field

本申请涉及医疗技术领域,特别是涉及一种对称信息检测方法、装置、计算机设备和存储介质。The present application relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular, to a symmetrical information detection method, device, computer equipment and storage medium.

背景技术Background technique

医学图像扫描过程中,对目标部位,例如头部,进行扫描时,由于扫描的目标部位摆位不正等原因,就会导致扫描图像倾斜,从而相应得到的正矢和正冠平面的图像不能很好的显示目标部位的解剖结构,所以在阅片或者进行对称分析之前需要确定目标部位的对称性。In the process of medical image scanning, when scanning the target part, such as the head, due to the improper placement of the scanned target part, the scanned image will be tilted, and the corresponding images of the sine and coronal planes will not be very good. The anatomical structure of the target site is displayed, so the symmetry of the target site needs to be determined before reading or performing symmetry analysis.

传统技术中,对图像的对称性进行调整方式包括但不限于医生手动调整,或者通过算法进行分析调整。通过医生手动调整会严重浪费医生的阅片时间,而通过算法进行分析调整时,各算法也存在一定的局限性,例如,通过计算原图和翻转图的对称性相关系数来优化平面方程,但是对于目标部位有病变的数据适应性不是特别好;或者,逐行搜索寻找每行像素值变化满足统计曲线上的点,最后对这些点进行随机采样拟合一个平面,但其只适用于有满足统计曲线的图像。In the traditional technology, the way of adjusting the symmetry of the image includes, but is not limited to, manual adjustment by a doctor, or analysis and adjustment through an algorithm. Manual adjustment by the doctor will seriously waste the doctor's reading time. When analyzing and adjusting through the algorithm, each algorithm also has certain limitations. For example, the plane equation is optimized by calculating the symmetry correlation coefficient of the original image and the flipped image, but The adaptability to the data with lesions in the target site is not particularly good; alternatively, search line by line to find the points where the pixel value change of each line satisfies the statistical curve, and finally perform random sampling on these points to fit a plane, but it is only applicable to the Image of statistical curve.

因此,现有技术中缺乏一种可以高效且准确地确定出扫描部位图像对称面或对称线的方法。Therefore, the prior art lacks a method that can efficiently and accurately determine the symmetry plane or symmetry line of the image of the scanned part.

相关技术对扫描过程中的图像平面进行对称性调整均是基于传统算法进行分析的,包括但不限于通过计算原图和翻转图的对称性相关系数来优化平面方程;或者,逐行搜索寻找每行像素值变化满足统计曲线上的点,最后对这些点进行随机采样拟合一个平面;或者对图像中矢面附近的点进行采样,手动提取特征,使用随机森林进行回归,找到中矢面响应比较高的值,从而拟合出最终的平面;还可以通过分割特定结构来分析对称信息;但是计算原图和翻转图的对称性相关系数来优化平面方程对于有病变的数据适应性不是特别好,逐行搜索寻找每行像素值变化满足统计曲线上的点的方法只适用于有满足统计曲线的图像。分割方案在某些场景下会比较受限,例如,如果通过分割眼睛来得到头部对称信息,但是颅脑数据就不一定存在眼睛。The symmetry adjustment of the image plane in the scanning process by the related technology is based on the analysis of traditional algorithms, including but not limited to optimizing the plane equation by calculating the symmetry correlation coefficient of the original image and the flipped image; The change of row pixel value satisfies the points on the statistical curve, and finally these points are randomly sampled to fit a plane; or the points near the sagittal plane in the image are sampled, the features are manually extracted, and the random forest is used for regression to find that the midsagittal plane response is relatively high The value of , so as to fit the final plane; the symmetry information can also be analyzed by segmenting specific structures; however, calculating the symmetry correlation coefficient of the original image and the flipped image to optimize the plane equation is not particularly suitable for data with lesions. The method of line search to find the point on which the pixel value change of each line satisfies the statistical curve is only applicable to the image that meets the statistical curve. The segmentation scheme is limited in some scenarios, for example, if the head symmetry information is obtained by segmenting the eyes, but the brain data does not necessarily have eyes.

Then, the heat map is fitted to obtain the symmetry information of the target part or the medical image of the target part. In this method, since a preset network model is used to learn the heat map of the target part or the medical image of the target part from the medical image data, that is, the symmetry distribution of the target part is known in advance through the heat map, and then based on the symmetry In this way, the fitting is performed based on the actual symmetry distribution of the medical image of the target part or the target part, and the symmetry information of the target part or the medical image of the target part can be accurately and efficiently determined; and The network model has been trained before use. By inputting the medical image data into the preset network model, the heat map of the target part or the medical image of the target part can be quickly and accurately obtained, which further improves the determination of the target part or target.

在上述实施例的基础上,还提供了一种对称信息检测方法的实施例,该实施例主要涉及的是计算机设备获取目标部位的医学图像数据的具体过程,如图3所示,该实施例包括以下步骤:On the basis of the above embodiment, an embodiment of a symmetrical information detection method is also provided. This embodiment mainly relates to the specific process of obtaining medical image data of a target part by a computer device. As shown in FIG. 3 , this embodiment Include the following steps:

S201,采集目标部位的原始医学图像。S201, collecting the original medical image of the target part.

本实施例以通过医学设备采集目标部位医学图像数据的方式为例进行说明;那么,目标部位的原始医学图像指的是在扫描开始时采集的未经过裁剪,未经过处理的图像,即采集的原始医学图像以设备能扫描的范围为准,其可能包括了除目标部位以外的其他部位,例如,扫描头部数据时,目标部位是鼻窦,扫描出的原始医学图像中不仅有鼻窦还有眼眶,其中包括的眼眶中可以是部分的也可以是全部的,对此不作限定。This embodiment is described by taking the method of collecting medical image data of the target part by medical equipment as an example; then, the original medical image of the target part refers to the uncropped and unprocessed image collected at the beginning of the scan, that is, the collected image. The original medical image is subject to the range that the device can scan, which may include other parts than the target part. For example, when scanning head data, the target part is the sinuses, and the scanned original medical images include not only the sinuses but also the orbits. , the included eye socket may be part or all, which is not limited.

S202,对原始医学图像进行预处理,得到目标部位的医学图像数据。S202 , preprocessing the original medical image to obtain medical image data of the target part.

在采集了目标部位的原始医学图像之后,对该原始医学图像进行预处理,即可得到目标部位的医学图像。其中预处理是为了对原始图像中的多余的不需要的区域去除掉,或者将原始医学图像的尺寸、比例、分辨率等处理为符合网络模型要求,以便可以有效地采用网络模型确定目标部位的热力图,避免因原始医学图像不合要求无法顺利输入至网络模型中。After the original medical image of the target part is collected, the original medical image is preprocessed to obtain the medical image of the target part. The preprocessing is to remove the redundant and unnecessary areas in the original image, or to process the size, scale, resolution, etc. of the original medical image to meet the requirements of the network model, so that the network model can be effectively used to determine the target area. Heat map, to avoid the unsatisfactory input of original medical images into the network model.

可选地,可以进行的预处理包括对原始医学图像进行分辨率调整、对原始医学图像中各像素点的灰度值进行归一化、从原始医学图像中截取目标部位的区域的一种或几种。Optionally, the preprocessing that can be performed includes one of adjusting the resolution of the original medical image, normalizing the gray value of each pixel in the original medical image, and intercepting the region of the target site from the original medical image. several.

其中预处理用于将原始医学图像处理为符合回归网络模型输入数据的要求。例如,可将原始医学图像调整为统一分辨率:[1.796mm,1.796mm,5mm],将原始医学图像的灰度值归一化:将原始图像[-1024,2000]的灰度范围内值拉伸到[0,1]。再例如,假设目标部位为头部整个区域,那么可以裁剪头部以下多余区域以减少干扰:对CT图像或者用CT矢状方向的最大密度投影(maximal intensity projection,mip)图计算出头顶层位置,然后按照头部物理长度对图像进行截取,舍弃头部以下的片层,只保留头部区域等。The preprocessing is used to process the original medical image to meet the requirements of the input data of the regression network model. For example, the original medical image can be adjusted to a uniform resolution: [1.796mm, 1.796mm, 5mm], and the gray value of the original medical image can be normalized: the value in the gray range of the original image [-1024, 2000] stretch to [0,1]. For another example, assuming that the target part is the entire area of the head, the redundant areas below the head can be cropped to reduce interference: the top layer position of the head can be calculated from the CT image or the maximal intensity projection (mip) map in the sagittal direction of the CT, Then the image is intercepted according to the physical length of the head, the slices below the head are discarded, and only the head area is retained.

经过对原始医学图像进行以上预处理后的得到的图像可以作为即将输入至网络模型中的目标部位的医学图像数据,从而使得目标部位的医学图像数据经过网络模型可以准确地得到目标部位或者目标部位的医学图像的热力图。The image obtained after the above preprocessing of the original medical image can be used as the medical image data of the target part to be input into the network model, so that the medical image data of the target part can accurately obtain the target part or the target part through the network model. heatmap of medical images.

网络模型的功能一般是要针对其使用场景进行针对性训练,以得到更加符合各方案的效果的网络模型,因此,在上述通过预设的网络模型获取目标部位的热力图之前,需要预先采集训练样本数据,并根据训练样本数据训练得到上述网络模型。基于此,下面对网络模型的训练过程进行具体说明。The function of the network model is generally to carry out targeted training according to its usage scenarios, so as to obtain a network model that is more in line with the effect of each scheme. Therefore, before obtaining the heat map of the target part through the preset network model, it is necessary to pre-collect and train. sample data, and train the above network model according to the training sample data. Based on this, the training process of the network model is described in detail below.

如图4所示,在一个实施例中,网络模型的训练过程包括:As shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment, the training process of the network model includes:

其中,训练样本数据是用于训练网络的数据,实际应用中,除了训练样本数据以外,还可以准备一些训练验证数据,即先采用训练样本数据训练网络模型,再采用训练验证数据输入至训练好的网络模型中验证该网络模型的性能。其中,训练样本数据和训练验证数据为不同批次的数据,训练验证数据需要是没有参与训练网络模型训练的数据。Among them, the training sample data is the data used to train the network. In practical applications, in addition to the training sample data, you can also prepare some training and verification data, that is, first use the training sample data to train the network model, and then use the training and verification data to input the training data. The performance of the network model is verified in the network model. Among them, the training sample data and the training verification data are data of different batches, and the training verification data needs to be data that does not participate in the training of the training network model.

其中,训练样本数据包括各部位医学图像数据与各部位医学图像数据对应的热力图;各部位医学图像数据,例如是眼框部位的医学图像数据,头颅部位的医学图像数据以及内耳医学图像数据等,采集样本数据时部位越多越好,可使训练样本数据更加全面完整,从而提高网络模型的适用性。Among them, the training sample data includes the medical image data of each part and the heat map corresponding to the medical image data of each part; the medical image data of each part, such as the medical image data of the eye frame part, the medical image data of the skull part, and the inner ear medical image data, etc. , when collecting sample data, the more parts, the better, so that the training sample data can be more comprehensive and complete, thereby improving the applicability of the network model.

另外,除了各部位医学图像数据还需要一并获取各部位医学图像数据对应的热力图,每一个训练样本数据均包括一对部位医学图像数据和该部位医学图像数据对应的热力图,热力图反映目标部位或者目标部位的医学图像对称信息,例如,如果是颅脑数据,热力图显示大脑镰这种对称性比较明显的解剖位置。In addition, in addition to the medical image data of each part, it is also necessary to obtain the heat map corresponding to the medical image data of each part. Each training sample data includes a pair of medical image data of the part and the heat map corresponding to the medical image data of the part. The heat map reflects Symmetry information of the target part or the medical image of the target part, for example, in the case of cranial data, the heat map shows the anatomical position of the falx, where the symmetry is more obvious.

S302,根据训练样本数据,对初始网络进行训练,训练完成后得到网络模型。S302 , train the initial network according to the training sample data, and obtain a network model after the training is completed.

获取训练样本数据后,将训练样本数据输入至初始的网络中,让初始网络学习训练样本数据中各部位的医学图像数据与各医学图像数据对应的热力图之间的映射关系,反复学习,学习过程中可根据预设的损失函数的值调整该初始网络的学习方向,直至训练完成得到网络模型。After acquiring the training sample data, input the training sample data into the initial network, and let the initial network learn the mapping relationship between the medical image data of each part in the training sample data and the heat map corresponding to each medical image data, and learn repeatedly. During the process, the learning direction of the initial network can be adjusted according to the value of the preset loss function, until the network model is obtained after the training is completed.

训练完成得到网络模型后,可采用上述提及的训练验证数据验证该网络模型,即将训练验证数据中各部位的医学图像数据输入该网络模型中,验证该网络的效果,通过验证效果可以选取某一个迭代次数下验证效果比较好的模型,或者从多个不同的训练网络模型中选择一个验证效果比较好的网络模型。After the training is completed to obtain the network model, the above-mentioned training and verification data can be used to verify the network model, that is, the medical image data of each part in the training and verification data is input into the network model to verify the effect of the network. A model with better verification effect under one iteration number, or select a network model with better verification effect from multiple different training network models.

本实施例中,通过获取训练样本数据进行训练得到可以直接基于各部位医学图像数据得到各部位热力图的网络模型,可以快速地准确地得到目标部位或者目标部位的医学图像的热力图,提高了确定目标部位或者目标部位的医学图像的对称面或者对称线的效率和准确性。In this embodiment, the network model that can directly obtain the heat map of each part based on the medical image data of each part can be obtained by acquiring the training sample data for training, and the heat map of the target part or the medical image of the target part can be quickly and accurately obtained, which improves the Efficiency and accuracy of determining symmetry planes or lines of symmetry of a target site or a medical image of a target site.

对于上述网络模型而言,获取的训练样本数据包含的类型种类越多,训练出来的网络模型确定的热力图更加准确。For the above network model, the more types and types of training sample data obtained, the more accurate the heatmap determined by the trained network model.

实际应用时,并不一定能搜集到足量的数据进行训练,因此,为了丰富训练样本数据,可以通过对各部位的样本医学图像进行增量处理,得到丰富的样本医学图像,以CT头部扫描数据为例,头部扫描数据包含多种多样,扫描范围就可以包含颅脑扫描,鼻窦扫描,眼眶扫描,内耳扫描等。In practical applications, it is not always possible to collect enough data for training. Therefore, in order to enrich the training sample data, the sample medical images of each part can be incrementally processed to obtain rich sample medical images, and the CT head can be used to obtain rich sample medical images. Taking scan data as an example, head scan data includes a variety of scans, and the scan range can include brain scan, sinus scan, orbital scan, inner ear scan, etc.

这里的样本医学图像指的就是各部位的原始医学图像经过预处理后的医学图像,具体过程可参见上述图3所示的过程。The sample medical image here refers to the pre-processed medical image of the original medical image of each part, and the specific process can refer to the process shown in FIG. 3 above.

可选地,上述对各样本医学图像进行增量处理,包括:通过预设的增量方式,对各样本医学图像进行增量处理;增量方式至少包括数据裁剪、数据旋转、增加高斯噪声、数据平移中一种。Optionally, the above-mentioned incremental processing of each sample medical image includes: performing incremental processing on each sample medical image through a preset incremental method; the incremental method at least includes data cropping, data rotation, adding Gaussian noise, One of the data translations.

其中,预设的增量方式包括多种,例如,数据裁剪、数据旋转、增加高斯噪声、数据平移等,其中,以鼻窦为例,数据裁剪的具体过程包括:对收集的样本医学图像进行清洗后,生成矢状面Mip图,从矢状面图像中挑选出包含鼻子的数据,然后仿照鼻窦扫描的扫描框在矢状面上进行裁剪框的标记,根据标记框进行数据的裁剪,裁剪方式可参见图5a所示,图5a中的(Ⅰ)是头部矢状面Mip不包含鼻子示例图,图5a中的(Ⅱ)为鼻窦扫描剪裁的一种示例,图5a中的(Ⅲ)为鼻窦扫描裁剪方式的另外一种示例,请参见图5b,图5b中的(Ⅰ)是头部包含鼻窦的不同视角的原始图像,图5b中的(Ⅱ)与(Ⅰ)中各图像上下一一对应的裁剪后的示意图;从图5a和图5b中示出通过多种裁剪方式模拟出鼻窦数据。同样的,眼眶扫描还有内耳扫描的样本医学图像也可以通过类似方式进行增量。Among them, the preset incremental methods include various methods, such as data cropping, data rotation, adding Gaussian noise, data translation, etc. Among them, taking the sinuses as an example, the specific process of data cropping includes: cleaning the collected sample medical images After that, generate a sagittal Mip map, select the data including the nose from the sagittal image, and then mark the cropping frame on the sagittal plane according to the scan frame of the sinus scan, and cut the data according to the marked frame. Please refer to Figure 5a, (I) in Figure 5a is an example of the sagittal Mip of the head without the nose, (II) in Figure 5a is an example of sinus scan clipping, (III) in Figure 5a For another example of the way to scan and crop the sinuses, please refer to Figure 5b, (I) in Figure 5b is the original image of the head including the sinuses from different perspectives, and (II) and (I) in Figure 5b are the top and bottom of each image. One-to-one corresponding cropped schematic diagram; from Figure 5a and Figure 5b, it is shown that the sinus data is simulated by various cropping methods. Likewise, sample medical images from orbital scans and inner ear scans can be incremented in a similar manner.

其中,数据旋转的具体过程包括:鉴于在扫描过程中,病人会存在一些摆位不正而导致数据是倾斜的,并且考虑头部数据是对称的,所以对数据进行随机左右翻转以及在3D空间上进行一定角度,例如(0°-30°)左右角度旋转的增量。这样对扫描出来的数据进行一定角度旋转,或者左右翻转,形成不同的样本。还有对各部位样本医学图像增加高斯噪声;或者进行数据平移,考虑到有一些数据在扫描视野里拍摄不全,故对图像进行上下左右的一定程度的平移,来增量出这种类型的数据。Among them, the specific process of data rotation includes: in view of the fact that during the scanning process, the patient may have some incorrect positioning, which causes the data to be skewed, and considering that the head data is symmetrical, the data is randomly flipped left and right and in 3D space. Make a certain angle, such as (0°-30°) increments of left and right angular rotation. In this way, the scanned data is rotated at a certain angle, or flipped left and right to form different samples. In addition, Gaussian noise is added to the sample medical images of each part; or data translation is performed. Considering that some data are not fully captured in the scanning field of view, the images are shifted up, down, left and right to a certain degree to increment this type of data. .

The post-sample medical image data and the corresponding sample heatmap are determined as training sample data.

本实施例中,通过获取多种部位的样本医学图像,并对各样本医学图像进行增量处理,得到增量处理后的样本医学图像,然后将增量处理后的样本医学图像与对应的样本热力图确定为训练样本数据,由于采用一些增量方法将样本数据进行了的增量,这样得到的训练数据训练得到的回归网络更加鲁棒,可以更加准确地从各部位医学图像数据中确定出各部位热力图。In this embodiment, sample medical images of various parts are acquired, and each sample medical image is incrementally processed to obtain an incrementally processed sample medical image, and then the incrementally processed sample medical images are compared with the corresponding samples. The heat map is determined as the training sample data. Since the sample data is incremented by some incremental methods, the regression network obtained by training the training data obtained in this way is more robust and can be more accurately determined from the medical image data of each part.
