Description

Window modulation combines Gauss polynomial matching monitoring radio frequency ablation device and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to Medical Image Processing, ultrasonic temperature imaging, radio frequency burns technical field, particularly relate to for Radio frequency burns in operation, modulates Nakagami imaging and the monitoring radio frequency ablation device of Gauss polynomial matching and calculation based on window Method research.
Background technology
In medical research, ultrasonography is mainly used in fetus and produces inspection, breast ultrasound detection [1], observation blood vessel The flowing of middle blood and the motion [2,3] etc. of observation internal organs;The transducer mid frequency of ultrasonic instrument arrives between 5MHz Between 15MHz.Wherein the main imaging mode for picture control includes mode A (amplitude modulation), B mould Formula (brightness modulation), M-mode (motion modulation) and doppler mode;The most especially with B-mode Be most widely used.The operation principle of ultrasonography is mainly sent ultrasonic signal by transducer, then ultrasound wave letter After number being reflected by organ-tissue, then by pulse-echo technique (pulse echo technique), these ultrasonic reflections are believed Number it is back to supersonic transducer, is then passed through imaging on instrument after algorithm process via transducer.
Primary hepatocarcinoma is the most current modal liver malignancy, and its sickness rate increases the most day by day, Because B-mode and infection with hepatitis C virus sickness rate is more and more higher.Excision and liver transplantation are considered as to treat liver at present The primary treatments of cell carcinoma.But, only small number of patients is suitable for operation.Therefore, effective and safe controlling is formulated Treat the therapeutic strategy of hepatocarcinoma it is critical that [1-3].
Radio frequency ablation therapy (radio frequency ablation) is that wound is little, cost is low and is applied to face for one One of the thermal therapeutical method of most successful treatment primary hepatocarcinoma of bed [4].During treatment, doctor can melt electricity one Pole is inserted into the cancer site of patient, then carrys out the cancer site to patient by instrument controlling power and treats.Therefore in treatment During observe heated by electrodes the size of scope most important, it is necessary to heated perimeter is controlled to most suitable scope to protect Patient is caused the post-surgical trauma of minimum by card.And Nakagami imaging mode is in the formation method that monitoring video melts now A kind of imaging algorithm that precision is higher.
The statistical property effectively describing hepatic tissue of ultrasonic Nakagami Parameter Map, research before the most fully demonstrates Use sliding window on Nakagami image is used to monitor the feasibility of the method for radio-frequency (RF) ablation.Meanwhile, based on The Nakagami imaging of Nakagami statistical distribution model is also a kind of method [5] effectively supplementing conventional B model.Had before Research uses Nakagami imaging to combine polynomial approximation method and is applied successfully to monitor radio-frequency (RF) ablation.But the method also exists The most limited place [6].First, although multinomial application Nakagami image can effectively matching radio-frequency (RF) ablation region, But inevitably affect the detection of radio frequency field.Therefore, we should to other approximating methods such as Gaussian approximation and A young waiter in a wineshop or an inn takes advantage of the feasibility of approximation to be estimated.Secondly, this research application is tradition Nakagami imaging algorithm, because use Window is relatively big, and traditional Nakagami image does not provide high image resolution and smooths, and causes monitoring in operation poor image quality.

Detailed description of the invention
The present invention adopts the technical scheme that the prison that window modulation Nakagami imaging and Gauss polynomial matching combine Survey radio-frequency (RF) ablation algorithm.
The 1.1 compound Nakagami imagings of window modulation
Nakagami distributed model is initially used to describe the statistics of radar return, and afterwards, Hampshire proposes utilization The ultrasonic scattering signals of Parameter analysis of Nakagami statistical model.In Nakagami is distributed, scattering signals envelope R's is general Rate density function is defined as follows:
f ( R ) = 2 m m R 2 m - 1 Γ ( m ) Ω m exp ( - m Ω R 2 ) U ( R ) - - - ( 11 )
Γ and U is gamma function and unit steplike function respectively, and Ω is zooming parameter, and m is relevant to Nakagami distribution Custom parameter.If E represents expectation, then Ω and being obtained by following formula with m:

With
m = E 2 ( R 2 ) V a r ( R 2 ) - - - ( 4 )
The statistical property of scattering signals depends on the characteristic of scattering.When the resolution elements of sensor contain in a large number with Scattering of machine distribution, then probability density function meets rayleigh distributed.If resolution elements comprise scattering son have with The scattering section of machine change and the variance of higher degree, then probability density function meets front rayleigh distributed.Work as resolution elements Comprise the scattering of periodically scattering and random distribution when, then probability density function meets rear rayleigh distributed. Nakagami parameter presents the probability density function rayleigh distributed in the past of envelope to the change of rear rayleigh distributed from the change of 0 to 1 Change process.Therefore Nakagami model can be used to describe the distribution situation of ultrasound wave back scattering completely.
In research before, all can use a square window to scan whole ultrasonic signal envelope image, then The value of calculation of square window is as the pixel of square window position.Big window can have stable Nakagami parameter (m) Estimate and improve the flatness of image, but simultaneously can the image resolution ratio of large losses, wicket can improve comparatively speaking The resolution of image.From the point of view of comprehensively, length of window is 3 times of transducer pulse length can obtain comparatively speaking preferably effect.
1.2 Gauss polynomial matchings
After obtaining the Nakagami image of window modulation, we use one-dimensional Gauss polynomial to be fitted it, the phase Prestige obtains more preferable imaging effect, thus completes to estimate ablation areas more accurately.Gauss polynomial matching is based on many The method of item formula matching, is included in axially and transversely direction and finds optimal Gaussian function respectively.Nakagami image has crowd Many row and columns, comprise n data point for any a line (or row), and it can be expressed as: (xi,yi), (i=1,2,3 ..., n).Wherein xi,yiThe matrix coordinate being respectively Nakagami image represents.If a variable X Gaussian distributed, and all Value and variance are respectively μ and σ2(μ ∈ R and σ > 0), and X has a probability density function of continuous distribution:
y i = A × exp ( - ( x i - μ ) 2 2 σ 2 ) - - - ( 14 )
A represents the amplitude of Gaussian function.(14) formula both sides are taken natural logrithm obtain:
ln y i = ( ln A - μ 2 2 σ 2 ) + x i μ σ 2 - x i 2 2 σ 2 - - - ( 15 )
Order
ln y i = z i , ln A - μ 2 2 σ 2 = b 0 , μ σ 2 = b 1 , - 1 2 σ 2 = b 2 - - - ( 16 )
Then equation (16) can represent with matrix form:
z 1 z 2 . . . z n = 1 x 1 x 1 2 1 x 2 x 2 2 . . . . . . . . . 1 x n x n 2 b 0 b 1 b 2 - - - ( 17 )
Can be abbreviated as:
Z=XB (18)
Wherein matrix Z, X and B is respectively the matrix shorthand for formula (17).The least square solution of then linear equation (18) For:
B=(XTX)-1XTZ (19)
μ and σ of the most one-dimensional Gauss distribution can be obtained by the combination of formula (17) and (19).
