Description

Cerebrovascular event automatic identification method and system based on MobileNet

Background
Cerebrovascular diseases have become the most deadly disease in China, and much and intensive research is carried out on the problem of automatic identification of cerebrovascular events. In medicine, the pathological basis for the occurrence of cerebrovascular events is atherosclerosis, manifested as thickening of the intima-media or plaque formation. Plaque rupture can block blood vessels, leading to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and ultimately to cerebrovascular events (e.g., cerebral infarction). The carotid artery is connected with the heart and the brain, has a shallow position surface and a simple structure, and becomes an important window for observing atherosclerotic lesions of a body and evaluating the stability of plaques.
In the past research on the characteristic image of the ultrasonic carotid artery image, the plaque is qualitatively described mainly by researching the vulnerability of the plaque, and the method comprises the following steps: ulcers, intraplaque hemorrhage, lipid rich cores, thin fibrous caps, and the like. In recent years, methods of machine learning have also been applied to this field. The traditional machine learning method is mainly to quantitatively describe the plaque by extracting the texture features of the plaque, and then to classify the plaque by a classifier. The texture features include: gray level co-occurrence matrices, gray level difference matrices, gray level run-length matrices, Law's texture features, fourier spectral analysis, and the like. The classifier includes: AdaBoost classifier, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and the like.
Because the features need to be manually defined and the features are of various types, feature selection or dimension reduction processing is often required to solve the problem of feature redundancy, and the results are greatly different due to the application of different classifiers. Therefore, the method and the system for automatically extracting the ultrasonic carotid artery image features to automatically identify the cerebrovascular events are of great significance.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
Example 1
The method for automatically identifying cerebrovascular events, as shown in fig. 1, comprises the following steps:
(1) two-dimensional carotid ultrasound image data is acquired. Actual two-dimensional carotid ultrasound images are acquired by the sonographer, with the carotid range preferably being the common neck, sinus, and bifurcation of the vessels inside and outside the neck. The doctor scans the ultrasonic probe perpendicular to the carotid artery cross section, and obtains plaque images of the carotid artery cross section on the left side and the right side of the patient by taking plaque data at the position with the maximum plaque area. Taking this embodiment as an example, the finally acquired plaque image data of this embodiment includes 333 patients, among which 116 patients with cerebrovascular events occur and 217 patients without cerebrovascular events. Fig. 2(a) and 2(b) are two-dimensional ultrasonic carotid artery image raw data, in which fig. 2(a) is patient left carotid transection plaque block data, and fig. 2(b) is patient right carotid transection plaque block data.
(2) The carotid adventitia can be segmented from the acquired two-dimensional carotid ultrasound image data based on the segmentation method in the prior art to obtain the adventitia contour. In this embodiment, the method for segmenting the carotid adventitia is a semi-automatic segmentation in the prior art, and the specific method is as follows:
(2-1) reading two-dimensional carotid artery ultrasound plaque image data;
(2-2) uniformly selecting 8 points at the carotid adventitia boundary interval as initial points;
(2-3) designing an interpolation filter: the filter is a symmetric filter obtained by minimizing the mean square error between the interpolated point and the ideal point. The length of the filter is 81 points and the cut-off frequency is 0.5.
And (2-4) interpolating the initial point by using an interpolation filter to obtain a carotid adventitia contour point, wherein the contour comprises carotid intima-media and plaque data, and pixels outside the contour are set to be 0. FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) are image data of ROI after segmentation of carotid adventitia, wherein FIG. 3(a) is ROI data of left carotid cross section of patient, and FIG. 3(b) is ROI data of right carotid cross section of patient.
(3) And designing a deep learning network.
The deep learning network is designed according to the following method:
(3-1) using the ultrasonic image data of the left carotid artery and the right carotid artery of the patient as the input of the network, and using whether a cerebrovascular event occurs as the output of the network. Whether a cerebrovascular event has occurred may be identified as 0/1 or other binary indicia, for example, where a 0 may indicate that no cerebrovascular event has occurred and a 1 indicates that a cerebrovascular event has occurred.
And (3-2) designing the structure and model parameters of the deep learning network.
The structure of the deep learning network is designed based on a volume segregation thought in the MobileNet and by referring to a shuffle thought in the shuffle net. The network includes a shared convolutional layer, a shuffle layer, three separate convolutional layers, a global pooling layer, and an output convolutional layer. In separating convolutional layers, a jump connection is made by using the ResNet residual idea to prevent gradient disappearance. To solve the over-fitting problem, weight attenuation and Batchnormalization are used in the network, and dropout is used after the global pooling layer.
The model parameters are set as: the size of the input image is 112 x 112, and the gray value is normalized to be between 0 and 1; the convolution kernel size of the shared convolution layer is 3 x 16, and the step size is 1; the channel of the shuffle layer is set to be 2; the first separate convolutional layer channel is set to 64 with a step size of 2, the second separate convolutional layer channel is set to 64 with a step size of 1, and the third separate convolutional layer channel is set to 128 with a step size of 2. All convolutional layers were followed by relu6 as the excitation layer and BatchNormalization was performed. Fig. 4 is a diagram of a deep learning network architecture.
As shown in fig. 4, the deep learning network is designed based on the idea of separating convolution in MobileNet. The network comprises 8 layers of detail structures, wherein the layer 1 detail structure and the layer 8 detail structure are convolution layers, and the layer 2-7 detail structures correspond to 3 separate convolution structures. The 1 st detail structure convolution layer is a shared convolution layer, and convolution kernel parameters can be obtained by jointly iterating left and right carotid artery ultrasonic image data of a patient with plaque in a carotid artery adopted in a training stage; two operations are carried out after the output of the detailed structure of the layer 1, one is channel connection operation, the other is shuffle operation, and the shuffle operation refers to a shuffle idea in shuffle net and is a shuffle layer with a channel of 2; any 1 separation convolution structure in the detail structures of the 2 nd to 7 th layers is composed of 1 depth convolution layer and 1 point-by-point convolution layer, wherein the output of the 3 rd layer and the 5 th layer is subjected to jump connection by taking residual error as reference so as to prevent gradient disappearance, and global pooling operation is carried out after the output of the 7 th layer; the detail structure convolution layer of layer 8 is an output convolution layer with an output of 2, and represents whether cerebrovascular events occur or not.
(4) And (3) inputting the ultrasonic image data inside the two-dimensional carotid artery adventitia obtained in the step (2) into the deep learning network designed in the step (3) for training and testing to obtain a network model for automatically identifying the cerebrovascular event. The deep learning network training and testing method specifically comprises the following steps:
(4-1) dividing the patients into two groups according to whether the patients have cerebrovascular events, wherein the occurrence event group is recorded as 1 group, and the non-occurrence event group is recorded as 0 group;
(4-2) downsampling the data of 0 groups: the random grouping results in a comparable number of two subsets of data. By sample downsampling, the problem of sample imbalance can be solved, and the finally obtained prediction result has higher sensitivity and robustness.
And (4-3) mixing the two subsets of data in the step (4-2) with the data in the group 1 respectively to obtain two experimental sample data.
(4-4) performing five-fold cross validation grouping on the two experimental sample data respectively, inputting training data into the network, setting parameters of a training solution and initializing network parameters, and updating weights iteratively to obtain the network model for performing automatic identification of cerebrovascular events.
And selecting a binary cross entropy as the loss value in the parameter of the training solution, preferably setting the learning rate to be 0.0008, monitoring the loss value of the verification set, and reducing the learning rate to be 0.1 after 20 times of iteration when the loss value of the verification set is not changed any more. The weight decay penalty weight _ decay is set to 0.01. The trained batch _ size is set to 15 and the tested batch _ size is set to 32. In order to make the result more accurate, training set data needs to be disturbed and network parameters need to be initialized randomly during each training.
Testing the deep learning network, and evaluating the correctness and accuracy of the automatic cerebrovascular event identification method, specifically comprising the following steps:
and selecting a network structure with the loss value as small as possible, and testing by using the test data. Inputting the test data into a network, comparing the obtained predicted tag value with the real tag value of the test data, calculating the number of the data with correct prediction, thereby obtaining the accuracy of each group of test data, and finally calculating the average Accuracy (ACC). Meanwhile, the predicted label value is stored, an ROC curve is drawn together with the real label value, the AUC of the area under the ROC curve is calculated, the larger the AUC value is, the better the classification effect is, the more reasonable the output probability is, and the AUC range is between 0 and 1.
When testing data, due to the limitation of the number of patients, five-fold cross validation can be adopted, namely the data are randomly divided into five folds, one fold of data is used as a test set every time, and the other four fold of data is used as a training set. For each test data, five times of repeated training and testing are carried out, and the obtained average result is used as the result of the test set. Therefore, the independence of the training samples and the test samples can be ensured, and the classification effect is more robust.
