Benefits of technology

This technology helps improve how well an artificial intelligence system learns from different medical situations through rotation, scaled up images before processing them afterwards. By doing this, we can make better models even when they are used with varying levels or types of training data.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed by this patents relates to improving radiation therapies for treatments such as brain cancer that use X-rays (X rays) to kill cells inside their tissue. These techniques can lead to scattered metallic particles called Metal Shadow Dusters ("MSD"). Additionally, current methods require manual adjustment during treatment planning, making them challenges to achieve consistently accurate results over time across multiple medical facilities worldwide.

Embodiment 1

[0065] The training and testing process of the U-Net model is as follows:

[0066] The first step is to use the data drawn by the doctor to train the model to obtain the segmentation model; the second step is to predict the model; the data processing of the segmentation model includes data loading and preprocessing. Data loading needs to convert CT values ​​into HU values. Perform interpolation, clipping, and normalization preprocessing on the data.

[0067] Such as Figure 3-6 As shown, the model training takes the temporal lobe of the head as an example, and obtains 45 cases of head cases, with a total of 2453 CT images. 30 cases of head cases are used for training, and the rest are used for testing. The original size of CT images is 512*512. Among them, the temporal lobe part is recorded as 1, and the non-temporal lobe part is recorded as 0; the convolutional neural network model structure is as follows figure 2 shown. It can be seen that the initial input is a CT matrix w

Embodiment 2

[0074] Such as Figure 3-6 As shown, the comprehensive data augmentation methods of medical images include: rotation, scaling, three-dimensional mirror transformation, and random Gamma transformation. Rotation augmentation adjusts the main body image of the patient in the CT image clockwise and counterclockwise by randomly selecting a rotation angle in the (-15°, 15°) interval.

[0075] x rotate =Rotate(x);

[0076] Due to the difference in the size of the patient, the size of the imaging subject is very different. The data preprocessing part interpolates the data. In theory, one pixel of the image is equal to 1mm in the real world. Therefore, considering the difference in the patient's physique, the scale Scaling scales the patient subject image with (0.5,1.5) as the value interval.

[0077] x scale =Scale(x);

[0078] The purpose of mirror transformation is to solve the data differences caused by different body positions and abnormal formation of patient organs. Normally,

Embodiment 3

[0086] Based on the experimental operation of embodiment one and embodiment two, the result test obtained is as follows: the U-Net model described in this paper adopts Dice similarity as the criterion for evaluating the segmentation result, which is defined as:

[0087]

[0088] The number of cases used for testing was 15, and the test results were as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the DSC results of the model trained by using the augmented data and the model trained by the original data are compared, and it is found that the test accuracy and generalization after augmentation are improved compared with the previous ones, dice Value fluctuations are more stable.

Abstract

The invention discloses a comprehensive data augmentation method based on small sample medical images, and relates to the technical field of medical image processing. The method comprises the following steps: S1, analyzing a CT image, and converting a pixel matrix value of the image into an HU value; s2, carrying out preprocessing on the CT image; s3, performing random rotation on the CT image in an angle range; s4, scaling the CT image in a multiple range; s5, performing mirror image changes of different dimensions on the CT image; s6, random Gamma transformation is carried out on the CT image; and step S7, inputting the augmented CT image into the U-Net network, and training to obtain a U-Net model. According to the method, after the CT image is preprocessed, the preprocessed image is subjected to rotation, zooming and mirror image expansion to obtain an original data set, so that CT data under various clinical conditions are simulated, and the trained model has better generalization and accuracy.
