Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of an image processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1, the method comprising:

in step S11, displaying a detection information list of at least one object in a display interface, where the detection information list includes at least one piece of detection information of the at least one object, and each piece of detection information includes at least one detection image of the same detection area;

in step S12, in response to the triggered first detection information in the detection information list, displaying at least one first image of the first detection information;

in step S13, in response to a contrast display operation for any of the first images, a second image of the first image and the second detection information is displayed in a display interface according to second detection information triggered by the contrast display operation, wherein a detection area of the second image is the same as a detection area of the first image.

In one possible implementation, the image processing method may be performed by an electronic device such as a terminal device or a server, the terminal device may be a User Equipment (UE), a mobile device, a User terminal, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, or the like, and the method may be implemented by a processor calling a computer readable instruction stored in a memory. Alternatively, the method may be performed by a server.

According to the image processing method, the first image and the second image of the same detection area (for example, the same physiological area) of the same object can be displayed in the same display interface when the contrast display operation is received, so that the first image and the second image can be conveniently contrasted and viewed, and the use efficiency and the convenience are improved.

In one possible implementation, the first image and the second image include medical images, the object includes a subject such as a patient, and the target includes lesion tissue. If a professional such as a doctor needs to compare and observe lesion tissues to check the development trend of the lesion tissues, for example, to check whether the lesion tissues are healing, whether the volume or area of the lesion tissues are shrinking, etc., it may be necessary to compare and observe medical images obtained for the lesion tissues at a plurality of times. The first image obtained at any moment can be displayed on the display interface, and when a professional such as a doctor performs contrast display operation, the second image of the lesion tissue shot at another moment can be simultaneously displayed on the display interface, so that the professional such as the doctor can compare and view the second image. The image processing method can also be used for contrast inspection of other images, such as remote sensing images, portrait images and the like, and the application field of the image processing method is not limited by the disclosure.

In one possible implementation, the image processing method may be used in a medical instrument, for example, a processor of the medical instrument may execute the image processing method to process a medical image. The display interface may be a display interface of a medical instrument, and may be used to display medical images, for example, medical images acquired by the medical instrument may be displayed in real time, and medical images acquired and stored in the past may also be displayed.

In one possible implementation, before displaying the first image and the second image, the first image and the second image may be acquired first, and the target in the first image and the second image is detected, for example, the target region where the lesion tissue is located in the first image and the second image is detected. The method further comprises the following steps: and carrying out target detection processing on the obtained detection image to obtain a target area where a target in the detection image is located and state information of the target.

In a possible implementation manner, a detection image of a physiological region to be detected may be obtained, for example, in the process of analyzing the detection image, a medical image (detection image) of the physiological region where a lesion tissue of a patient is located may be taken, for example, a Computed Tomography (CT) image, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image, and the like.

In one possible implementation, the target in the detection image may be detected by a neural network or the like. For example, lesion tissue in a medical image may be detected by a neural network or the like, and the method of detecting a target is not limited by the present disclosure. In an example, status information of lesion tissue may be obtained, the status information including at least one of an addition status, a confidence, a typing, a maximum diameter, location information, maximum slice information of a target.

In an example, the add status may indicate whether the focal tissue was automatically detected by a medical instrument through a neural network or the like or manually added by a professional such as a doctor; the confidence level may represent a confidence level that the detected tissue in the target region is lesion tissue; the typing may represent a shape classification of lesion tissue; the maximum diameter may represent a distance between two points having a maximum distance in a region where the lesion tissue is located, i.e., a size of the lesion tissue; the position information may represent a position of lesion tissue in the inspection image; the maximum slice information may indicate a slice in which a maximum cross section of the lesion tissue is located, for example, the medical image may be a 3D image obtained by multi-slice scanning, the lesion tissue is a three-dimensional tissue, the shape of the lesion tissue may be irregular, the size of the lesion tissue in each slice may be inconsistent, and the maximum slice information may indicate a slice in which the cross section of the lesion tissue is maximum.

In one possible implementation, the state information of the targets in the detection image may constitute an information list, and the information list of the targets in the detection image may be displayed simultaneously when the detection image is displayed in the display interface. The information list may include therein status information of at least one target detected in the detection image.

In a possible implementation manner, the medical instrument may have missed detection, false detection and the like due to detection errors and the like, and if the missed detection or the false detection is found by a professional such as a doctor when the detection image is displayed, the missed detection target can be manually added or the false detection situation can be modified. The method further comprises the following steps: determining a region corresponding to a target adding operation of the detection image as a target region in response to the target adding operation for the detection image; and determining the state information of the target in the target area according to the target area.

In a possible implementation manner, the target in the detection may be obtained by detection through a neural network or the like, but in the detection process, detection errors may occur in the situations of missing detection, false detection, and the like, and there may be an undetected target in the detected image. For example, the neural network fails to detect certain focal tissue in the detected image.

In one possible implementation manner, the neural network may be configured to detect only a certain category of target, for example, only detect a lesion tissue such as a lung nodule, but not detect other categories of lesion tissue, and a professional such as a doctor finds other categories of lesion tissue when viewing the detection image, and may also perform a target adding operation in the detection image, for example, may frame or circle a region where the other categories of lesion tissue are located.

In one possible implementation, the state information of the target may be determined according to the selected target area, for example, a professional such as a doctor may optionally detect the target area in the image, the medical instrument may determine the state information of the target in the target area according to the position information, the contour, and the like of the selected target area, and the adding state of the target may be set to be manually added. Further, the state information of the object is added to the information list of the detected image.

In one possible implementation, the misdetected object may also be corrected, for example, the misdetected object may be deleted, and the status information of the misdetected object may be deleted at the same time.

In one possible implementation, in step S11, a detected image of at least one detected region (e.g., physiological region of lung, brain, heart, etc.) of at least one object may be stored in the medical instrument. The detection images for a specific physiological region of a specific subject may constitute a detection information list, that is, at least one piece of detection information of the same physiological region of the subject may be included in the detection information list, and each piece of detection information at least includes at least one detection image of the same detection region. In another example, the detected images of the plurality of detected regions of the subject may also be included in the list of detected information, e.g., a plurality of detected information of a lung of the subject, a plurality of detected information of a brain of the subject, and a plurality of detected information of a heart of the subject may be included in the list of detected information. In another example, the detection information list may include detection information of a plurality of objects, for example, a plurality of detection information of object a, a plurality of detection information of object B, and the like. When the comparison display is carried out, a plurality of detection images of the same detection area of the same object can be inquired and contrasted and displayed based on the name, the number, the detection area and other information of the object, so that the information can be conveniently switched and displayed, and the operation is convenient and fast.

In one possible implementation, a professional such as a doctor may select the detection information in the detection information list to view the detection image. In step S12, in response to the triggered first detection information in the detection information list, at least one first image of the first detection information is displayed. Step S12 may include: responding to triggered first detection information in the detection information list, and displaying an image type list of the first detection information; in response to the selected image type, at least one first image of the image type is displayed.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a list of detected information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 2 shows a list of detected information of a physiological region (e.g., lung) of a patient XXX, which may include detected information of the lung of the XXX obtained at a plurality of time instants, e.g., CT images. A professional such as a doctor can select one of the detection information (first detection information) to display a CT image in the first detection information. In an example, a mouse cursor may be placed on the first detection information, and a list of image types of the first detection information may be displayed. In an example, the list of image types may include options of displaying an image, displaying a lesion, displaying a 2D image, and displaying a 3D image, and the present disclosure does not limit the options of the list of image types.

In an example, a display image option may be selected to display a plurality of first images of first detection information in a display interface. For example, the first image is a CT image including CT images taken at a plurality of angles of the lung, and the CT images at the plurality of angles of the lung may be displayed in a display interface.

Fig. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a display interface displaying a first image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, images of three angles in the first image may be displayed on the display interface. Further, in the display interface, a list of detection information (e.g., a list shown at the leftmost side) and a first object information list of objects in the first image (i.e., a list including status information of at least one object in the first image, such as a list shown at the second column at the left side) may also be displayed. In an example, the list of detection information and/or the first list of target information may be hidden in the display interface.

In an example, the status information in the first target information list may be copied, deleted, reset, and the like, for example, the status information of a certain target may be deleted or copied, or the status information of a certain target may be reset to detect the target again and obtain the status information of the target.

Further, an object may be added to the first image, for example, a medical professional such as a doctor may find missed lesion tissue (e.g., a nodule), and a region where the nodule is located may be selected in the first image to add the nodule. In addition, the first image can be zoomed, adjusted in focus, generated for analysis report, and the like. The present disclosure does not limit the processing of the first image.

In a possible implementation manner, the display interface may further include a tool list, where the tool list may include options such as scaling, screenshot, printing, measuring, and the like, and may be used to scale, screenshot, or print the first image, or may be used to measure a region where a lesion tissue is located in the first image or other regions, and the processing included in the tool list is not limited in this disclosure.

In one possible implementation, a practitioner, such as a doctor, may compare multiple images of the same physiological region of the same subject. Images taken at multiple times for the same physiological region of the same subject may be displayed simultaneously in the display interface. In step S13, the medical instrument may display, in response to a contrast display operation of a professional such as a doctor on any first image, a second image of the first image and the second detection information on the display interface according to the second detection information triggered by the contrast display operation. In an example, in the contrast display operation, a professional such as a doctor may select other detection information of the same physiological region of the same subject in the detection information list to display an image corresponding to the other detection information in the display interface, for example, when the professional such as the doctor selects the second detection information in the detection information list, the first image and the second image of the second detection information may be simultaneously displayed in the display interface.

Fig. 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a display interface displaying a first image and a second image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the first image and the second image can be displayed simultaneously in the display interface, for example, the left image is the first image, and the right image is the second image.

In one possible implementation, the method further includes: displaying at least one of a first target information list of the first image and a second target information list of the second image in a display interface, wherein the first target information list includes status information of a target in the first image, and the second target information list includes status information of a target in the second image. For example, the information list on the left side of the display interface may include at least one of a first target information list and a second information list.

In an example, the list of information to the left in the display interface may include both the first list of target information and the second list of target information. Displaying at least one of a first target information list of the first image and a second target information list of the second image in a display interface, including: combining the first target information list and the second target information list to obtain a combined information list; and displaying the combined information list in a display interface, wherein the target information aiming at the same target in the first target information list and the second target information list is displayed in parallel in the combined information list.

Fig. 5 illustrates a schematic diagram of a display interface displaying a first image and a second image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the first target information list and the second target information list may be combined, that is, target information for the same target in one target information list and the second target information list is combined to obtain a combined information list, and the combined information list may be displayed on the left side of the display interface.

In an example, the state information in the first target information list and/or the second target information list may be copied, deleted, reset, and the like, for example, the state information of a certain target may be deleted or copied, or the state information of a certain target may be reset to re-detect the target, obtain the state information of the target, or modify the state information of a certain target.

In an example, if the first target information list and the second target information list are displayed in the form of a combined list, operations such as copy, delete, reset, etc. may simultaneously process status information of the same target in the two target information lists. Further, the status information of the same object in the two object information lists may be matched, and the status information may be subjected to a dematching process, that is, a matching relationship between the status information is released.

In an example, if there is a missed detection situation in the first image and/or the second image, a professional such as a doctor may also select a region in which the lesion tissue is located in the first image and/or the second image to add the missed lesion tissue.

In a possible implementation manner, the display interface further includes a tool list, and the method further includes: at least one of a scaling operation, a screenshot operation, a printing operation, and a measuring operation is performed on the first image and/or the second image in response to an operation process on the selected tool in the tool list. If a professional such as a doctor performs operations such as a scaling operation, a screen-capturing operation, a printing operation, and a measuring operation on the first image and/or the second image, the medical instrument may perform the above-described operation processing on the first image and/or the second image in response to the operation processing by the professional such as the doctor. The present disclosure does not limit the category of the operation processing.

In one possible implementation, the medical instrument may also generate report information for the lesion tissue, e.g., for a category, a trend, etc., of the lesion tissue. The method further comprises the following steps: in response to the selection operation of the target information in the first target information list and/or the second target information list, generating report information corresponding to the selected target information according to the first image and the second image.

In an example, a practitioner, such as a doctor, may select target information in the first and/or second lists of target information, or select target information in the combined list, and operate the medical instrument to generate report information for lesion tissue to which the selected target information corresponds. For example, the category of whether the lesion tissue is a benign lesion or a malignant lesion reports information, or the category of the trend of the lesion tissue (for example, whether the lesion tissue is healing or deteriorating) reports information, and the content of the report information is not limited by the present disclosure.

In an example, the report information may be generated according to a comparison result of information of the target information in the first target information list and information in the second target information list. For example, the information of the target information in the first target information list and the information of the target information in the second target information list may each include a size, a category, and the like of a lesion tissue corresponding to the target information, and if the size of the lesion tissue is increasing over time or the category is changed from a benign lesion to a malignant lesion, a report information that the lesion tissue is deteriorating may be generated, and if the size of the lesion tissue is decreasing over time or the category is changed from a malignant lesion to a benign lesion, a report information that the lesion tissue is healing may be generated. The content of the report information is not limited by this disclosure.

In an example, the report information is generated according to a comparison result between a first target area where a target corresponding to the selected target information is located in a first image and a second target area where the target is located in a second image. For example, if the first image is acquired later in time than the second image and the first target region is larger in size than the second target region, the lesion tissue is expanding over time and a report message that the lesion tissue is deteriorating may be generated; if the first target region is smaller in size than the second target region, the focal tissue is shrinking over time, and a report may be generated that the focal tissue is healing. The content of the report information is not limited by this disclosure.

According to the image processing method, the first image and the second image of the same physiological region of the same object can be displayed in the same display interface when the contrast display operation is received, so that the first image and the second image can be conveniently contrasted and viewed, and the use efficiency and the convenience are improved. Further, the state information of the first image and/or the second image can be operated, and the report information corresponding to the target can be generated based on the selected target, so that the convenience of use is further improved.

The doctor can place a mouse cursor on the first detection information, can display an image type list of the first detection information, and can select a display image from the type list, namely, can display the CT image (first image) in the first detection information in the display interface.

In one possible implementation, the doctor may compare CT images taken by the patient XXX in the past to determine the recovery of the lung lesion (e.g., nodule), and may perform the comparison display operation to select the second detection information acquired at another time in the detection information list, i.e., may display the CT image (second image) of the second detection information in the display interface.

In one possible implementation, the doctor may use the tools in the tool list to zoom, capture, print, etc. the first image and/or the second image, and may also perform measurement, etc. on the nodules in the first image and/or the second image. The tool list may be hidden when not in use.
