Description

Monitoring electrode setting method for parietal and temporal lobe lesions
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of brain lesion detection application of electrical tomography, and particularly relates to a method for setting monitoring electrodes for parietal and temporal lobe lesions.
Background
The electrical tomography (ELECTRICAL TOMOGRAPHY, ET) is a soft field imaging technique, and the principle is that electrodes arranged on the surface of an object are utilized to regularly apply excitation to the electrodes, if certain impedance changes exist in the object, certain potential changes are caused on the measurement electrodes, and the internal impedance changes can be reversely deduced through certain mathematical operations on the potential changes, so that the interior of the object is visualized. Capacitance Tomography (ECT) ELETRICAL CAPACITANCE, resistance Tomography (ERT) ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE and electromagnetic Tomography (Eletromagnetic Tomography, EMT) are three fundamental imaging modalities of electrical Tomography, on the basis of which Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) techniques are derived. The EIT technology has very attractive prospect in medical detection, and has good application prospect in lung lesion detection, brain lesion detection, breast cancer detection and abdominal organ function imaging because of the characteristics of non-invasiveness, no radiation, low cost and the like. T Dowrick et al 2016 published in physiological measurements (Physiological Measurement) volume 37, volumes 765-784, entitled' in vivo bioimpedance changes in mouse hemorrhage and ischemic stroke three-dimensional brain stroke imaging by impedance tomography '(In vivo bioimpedance changes during haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke in rats:towards 3D stroke imaging using electrical impedance tomography), article using EIT differential imaging, truly experimental and image reconstruction of mouse hemorrhage and ischemia models, which confirmed the feasibility and accuracy of EIT in brain experiments. The article "living body detection and imaging of newborn piglets for intracerebral hemorrhage '(In vivo Detection and Imaging of Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Neonatal Piglets Using Electrical Impedance Tomography), using electrical impedance tomography," published by Y D Li et al 2018, volume 27, no. 2, journal of biomedical engineering (english edition) of china (Chinese Journal of Biomedical Engineering), likewise uses differential imaging, employs a relative excitation adjacent measurement mode, and because the head is irregularly shaped and the skull has a high degree of non-conductive properties, it is difficult to let current penetrate to reach the central region of the brain if a conventional adjacent excitation mode is employed. The experiment adopts electrode arrangement with 16 electrodes uniformly arranged, and the result of the electrode arrangement can detect bleeding and ischemia parts, but the size and shape of lesions cannot be accurately judged due to more artifacts. Experiments show that 14% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage are in frontal lobe, 7% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage are in parietal lobe, 48% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage are in temporal lobe, and 31% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage are in occipital lobe. Therefore, the probability of cerebral hemorrhage at the temporal lobe and the top lobe is up to 55%, however, the probability is influenced by the relative excitation mode and the uniform electrode arrangement, the imaging result is poor when lesions are positioned at the two parts, and certain optimization is needed to ensure the image quality, so that EIT has more advantages in brain lesion detection.

The other group of electrodes starts with the main electrode and is placed clockwise on the outside of the scalp at the same height as the main electrode with the interval e between the edges of adjacent electrodes. RS, PE, and BR values are calculated and saved, where e is the length of a single electrode. 步骤七、选定以主、副电极为对称轴的一对对称电极,选定顺序从最靠近副电极的电极对开始,依次向靠近主电极的电极对选定;Step 7: Select a pair of symmetrical electrodes with the main electrode and the auxiliary electrode as the symmetry axis, starting from the electrode pair closest to the auxiliary electrode and then moving to the electrode pair closest to the main electrode; 步骤八、将选定的电极对向副电极移动,移动步长为2mm,计算并保留每次移动后的RS、PE、BR值,判断每次保存的RS值是否大于基础成像的RS值,若是则不进行其他操作,若否则删除该次移动的位置数据及RS、PE、BR值后,再继续移动,移动的约束条件为:任意电极相邻边缘之间的间距不能小于e;Step 8: Move the selected electrode pair toward the secondary electrode with a moving step of 2 mm. Calculate and retain the RS, PE, and BR values after each move. Determine whether the RS value saved each time is greater than the RS value of the basic imaging. If so, do not perform other operations. If not, delete the position data and RS, PE, and BR values of the move before continuing to move. The constraint condition of the move is: the spacing between adjacent edges of any electrode cannot be less than e. 步骤九、筛选所有保存的BR值之中的最小值位置,判断当前位置时,PE值是否为最小值或小于0.5mm,若是,则选定该位置为当前最优电极对位置;若否,则删去该位置数据,重复本步骤,筛选新的BR最小值位置,直到获得最优电极对位置;Step 9: Filter the minimum position among all saved BR values, and determine whether the PE value is the minimum value or less than 0.5 mm at the current position. If so, select the position as the current optimal electrode pair position; if not, delete the position data, repeat this step, filter the new BR minimum position, until the optimal electrode pair position is obtained; 步骤十、固定所选电极对到最优位置,删除该电极对移动时所保存的数据,重复进行步骤七到步骤九,再次选定电极对并固定到最优位置,直到所有电极对固定完毕,结束优化。Step 10: fix the selected electrode pair to the optimal position, delete the data saved when the electrode pair is moved, repeat steps 7 to 9, select the electrode pair again and fix it to the optimal position, until all electrode pairs are fixed, and the optimization is finished. 2.根据权利要求1所述的针对顶叶及颞叶病变的监测电极设置方法,其特征在于:电极数n的取值范围为8、10、12、14、16或18。2.
