Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of embodiments of the invention, as detailed in the following claims.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of embodiments of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in embodiments of the present invention, the information should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another. For example, the first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of embodiments of the present invention. The word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at … …" or "when … …" or "in response to a determination", depending on the context.
A multi-phase scan refers to a plurality of scans of a subject using a plurality of scan sequences.
An important scenario for CT scanning is enhanced scanning. An enhanced scan is a CT scan performed while injecting contrast agent into the blood vessel from a vein, typically the antecubital vein. The enhanced scanning can find the focus which is not found in the flat scanning (scanning without injecting medicine into the blood vessel), and is mainly used for identifying whether the lesion is vascular or nonvascular, determining the relationship between the mediastinal lesion and the great blood vessel of the heart and knowing the blood supply condition of the lesion so as to help to identify good lesion and malignant lesion and the like. Enhanced scanning can increase the information content of a lesion, facilitating qualitative analysis of the lesion and even definitive diagnosis.
Different organ tissues have different capacities for absorbing contrast agents, and according to this characteristic, a physician typically plans to perform a plurality of scans (multi-phase scans) after the drug injection, and sets the time to start the scan for each scan sequence, which is called a multi-phase enhanced scan.
In the multi-stage enhanced scanning, the interval time between two stages can be set according to the clinical diagnosis requirement, for example, the heart + carotid artery combined scanning needs to be set, the carotid artery in the second stage needs to be scanned immediately after the first-stage heart scanning is finished, and the shorter the interval time between two stages is, the better.
In the related art, the procedure of the two-phase scan of the heart + carotid artery is as follows:
before the enhanced scan, the doctor sets the parameters of a multi-phase scan sequence, the first phase is the cardiac scan, and the second phase is the carotid CTA (CT Angiography) scan;
the voice navigation is started and set for guiding the patient to control breathing in the scanning process, so that the scanning part is prevented from moving due to breathing in the scanning process, and the scanning quality is improved;
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a scanning process after voice navigation is set. As shown in fig. 1, after the voice navigation is set, the system plays "please breathe" after 1-scan (corresponding to cardiac scan) is finished, then plays "inhale and hold back" again, then starts to scan the second phase, i.e. 2-scan (corresponding to carotid scan), and plays "please breathe" after scan is finished.
In fig. 1, the interval between the two phase scans is about 4 seconds, which may result in too low concentration of contrast agent in carotid artery during the second phase scan, so that CT value enhancement of carotid artery blood vessel in image is not obvious, quality of scan result is poor, and subsequent diagnosis is affected.
The multi-stage scanning control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to the multi-stage scanning process of CT, in particular to the multi-stage enhanced scanning process.
The multi-phase scanning control method is explained in detail by the following embodiments.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a multi-period scanning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the multi-period scanning control method may include:
s201, before CT scanning, obtaining the longest breath holding time of a subject to be subjected to multi-period scanning and a scanning protocol of the multi-period scanning.
S202, according to the scanning protocol, determining the scanning time, the scanning delay time, the period voice navigation time and the inter-sequence hardware switching preparation time of each scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning.
S203, judging whether the sum of the scanning time of each scanning sequence and the hardware switching preparation time between the sequences is less than or equal to the longest breath holding time.
And S204, if yes, determining whether a period voice navigation cancellation condition is met or not based on the scanning delay time and the period voice navigation time of each scanning sequence, and if yes, canceling the period voice navigation in the multi-period scanning.
In this embodiment, the maximum breath holding time is the longest time for which the subject can maintain the breath holding state.
In one exemplary implementation, obtaining the maximum breath holding time of the subject to be scanned for multiple periods may include:
the default breath holding time is read from the system as the longest breath holding time of the subject to be scanned for the multiple phases.
In this embodiment, the default breath holding time is preset in the system, and the same longest breath holding time is used as a default for all the examinees. The default breath holding time may be obtained from statistical data. For example, assuming that 95% of the collected breath holding time data of different subjects can reach 4 seconds, the default breath holding time may be set to 4 seconds.
In one exemplary implementation, obtaining the maximum breath holding time of the subject to be scanned for multiple periods may include:
one breath holding time is selected from a plurality of breath holding times set in the system as the longest breath holding time of the subject to be subjected to the multi-phase scanning.
In this embodiment, a plurality of breath holding times are preset in the system, and a scanning executor artificially selects one breath holding time as the longest breath holding time. Therefore, the more appropriate longest breath holding time can be selected according to the specific situation of the examined person, and the scanning success rate and the scanning accuracy are improved. For example, assuming that, in the collected breath holding duration data of different subjects, 60% of the subjects have breath holding durations of up to 4 seconds, 20% of the subjects have breath holding durations of up to 5 seconds, and 20% of the subjects have breath holding durations of up to 6 seconds, then 3 breath holding times may be set in the system: 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds.
In one exemplary implementation, obtaining the maximum breath holding time of the subject to be scanned for multiple periods may include:
and receiving the breath holding time input by the user as the longest breath holding time of the examinee to be subjected to the multi-phase scanning.
In this embodiment, the breath holding time input by the user is used as the longest breath holding time, so that the longest breath holding time can be obtained more accurately, and the scanning success rate and the scanning accuracy are improved. According to the embodiment, the breath holding time of the subject can be tested before scanning, and then the breath holding time is input according to the test result.
The scanning protocol of the multi-phase scanning comprises a plurality of scanning sequences, and each scanning sequence corresponds to one-phase scanning. The scanning protocol comprises scanning time, scanning delay time, voice navigation time and hardware switching preparation time among sequences of each scanning sequence.
The scan time refers to the time of performing a line-laying scan on a subject according to a scan sequence. The scan delay time is a time from when the scan key is pressed to when the line scan is started. In the multi-scan, the time when the scan key is pressed in each scan is the same time. The period voice navigation time refers to the voice navigation time between the end of the previous period scanning and the beginning of the next period scanning in the two adjacent periods of scanning.
The hardware switching preparation time is determined by the CT apparatus itself. The time may be stored in the system in advance.
In one exemplary implementation, determining whether the period voice navigation cancellation condition is satisfied based on the scan delay time and the period voice navigation time of each scan sequence may include:
determining the minimum scanning delay time of the last scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning according to the scanning delay time of the first scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning and the period voice navigation time;
if the scanning delay time of the last scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning is less than the minimum scanning delay time, determining that a period voice navigation cancellation condition is met; and if the scanning delay time of the last scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning is greater than or equal to the minimum scanning delay time, determining that the voice navigation cancellation condition is not met.
In this embodiment, the minimum scanning delay time of the last scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning may be equal to the sum of the scanning delay time of the first scanning sequence in the multi-period scanning and the time of all voice navigations from the end of scanning of the first scanning sequence to the end of scanning of the last scanning sequence.
In one exemplary implementation, canceling periodic voice navigation in a multi-period scan includes:
and canceling sending a first period navigation playing instruction to the CT equipment, wherein the first period navigation playing instruction is used for indicating the CT equipment to play voice navigation in the preset time.
The embodiment is suitable for scenes in which the navigation voice is played by the CT equipment. In the scene, after receiving a first period navigation playing instruction sent by the console device, the CT device performs voice navigation during playing at a preset time point according to the first period navigation playing instruction. If the console device does not send the first-period navigation playing instruction to the CT device, the CT device does not play the corresponding voice navigation.
In one exemplary implementation, canceling periodic voice navigation in a multi-period scan includes:
and canceling sending a second period navigation playing instruction to the voice navigation playing module, wherein the second period navigation playing instruction is used for indicating the voice navigation playing module to play voice navigation during the preset time.
The embodiment is suitable for scenes in which navigation voice is played by console equipment. In the scenario, the console device sends a second period navigation playing instruction to the voice navigation playing module deployed on the console device, so as to control the voice navigation playing module to play voice navigation during the preset time. If the console device does not send the second period navigation playing instruction to the voice navigation playing module, the voice navigation playing module will not play the corresponding voice navigation.
In this embodiment, the multi-phase scanning refers to two or more phases of scanning.
The multi-period scanning control method provided by the embodiment of the invention is explained by an application example.
Assume that the maximum breath hold time preset in the system is 3 seconds, and assume that in two phase scans, the first phase scan uses a cardiac scan sequence (hereinafter referred to as S1) and the second phase scan uses a CTA scan sequence (hereinafter referred to as S2). As can be known from the scanning protocol, the scanning Time T1 of S1 is 1 second, the scanning Time T2 of S2 is 1 second, the inter-sequence Hardware switching preparation Time (Hardware Prepare Time) of the two scanning sequences of S1 and S2 is 1 second, the scanning Delay Time PID1(Post Injection Delay) of S1 is 4 seconds, and the scanning Delay Time PID2 of S2 is 4 seconds. The scan end voice time length VT1 of S1 is 1.5 seconds, and the pre-scan voice time length VT2 of S2 is 2 seconds.
The scanning process before the voice guidance during cancellation, i.e., in the case of the voice guidance during non-cancellation, is shown in the upper diagram of fig. 3, and the scanning process after the voice guidance during cancellation is shown in the lower diagram of fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the scanning process before and after voice navigation during the cancellation period in the two-phase scanning. In fig. 3, the inter-sequence hardware switching preparation time is abbreviated as hardware preparation time. As can be seen from fig. 3, the sum of the scan time of the two scan sequences and the hardware switch preparation time between the sequences is 1+1+1, 3 seconds, which is equal to the longest breath holding time.
In the case of the reserved period voice navigation, the minimum scan delay time of the scan sequence S2 of the second period scan is 4(PID1) +1+1.5+1+2 is 9.5 seconds, and since the scan delay time PID2 of the scan sequence S2 of the second period scan is 4 seconds and is less than the calculated minimum scan delay time 9.5 seconds of S2, the period voice navigation between S1 and S2 (i.e., 1.5 seconds of the end voice after the end of the first period scan and 2 seconds of the pre-scan voice before the start of the second period scan in fig. 3) can be cancelled, and the cancelled scan process is as shown in the lower graph in fig. 3. After cancellation, the scan delay time of the second scan needs to be recalculated. As shown in fig. 3, after canceling the inter-period voice navigation, the minimum scan delay time of the scan sequence S2 of the second scan is 4(PID1) +1(S1 scan time) +1 (hardware setup time) is 6 seconds.
After the inter-segment voice is cancelled, if the scanning delay time of S2 given in the scanning protocol is less than 6 seconds, the scanning delay time PID2 of S2 in the scanning protocol needs to be automatically corrected to 6 seconds, that is, the PID2 at the time of actual scanning is 6 seconds; if the scan delay time PID2 of S2 given in the scan protocol is greater than 6 seconds but less than 9.5 seconds, the value of the scan delay time PID2 of S2 in the scan protocol is kept unchanged, i.e., PID2 at the time of actual scan is equal to the value set in the scan protocol.
The multi-period scanning control method provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the steps of obtaining the longest breath holding time of a subject to be subjected to multi-period scanning and the scanning protocol of the multi-period scanning before CT scanning, determining the scanning time, the scanning delay time, the period voice navigation time and the hardware switching preparation time among sequences in the multi-period scanning according to the scanning protocol, judging whether the sum of the scanning time of each scanning sequence and the hardware switching preparation time among the sequences is less than or equal to the longest breath holding time, if so, determining whether a period voice navigation cancellation condition is met based on the scanning delay time and the period voice navigation time of each scanning sequence, if so, canceling the period voice navigation in the multi-period scanning, automatically selecting the period voice navigation for canceling the multi-period scanning according to scanning related data, and reducing the time of the scanning process, the scanning efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, for multi-period enhanced scanning, the quality of a scanning result can be improved.
