Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, a method for identifying a pathology class based on a distance calculation method is provided, and the method for identifying a pathology class based on a distance calculation method is applied to a terminal or a server, and this embodiment is exemplified by being applied to a server. The method for identifying the pathology class based on the distance calculation method specifically comprises the following steps:
step 102, obtaining characteristic parameters to be diagnosed, wherein the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed comprise N characteristic parameters corresponding to N characteristics, and N is a natural number.
The characteristic parameters to be diagnosed are parameters for reflecting pathological characteristics of pathological sections to be diagnosed, and the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed comprise a plurality of characteristic parameters corresponding to a plurality of characteristics. In one embodiment, the pathological section to be diagnosed is an ovarian epithelial malignancy, and the 7 corresponding characteristic parameters may be values corresponding to Pax-8, WT-1, CA125, P53, CEA, ER, and PVHL. Specifically, the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed can be obtained after the pathological section is analyzed by a pathological analysis instrument.
Step 104, obtaining preset standard parameters, wherein the preset standard parameters comprise M multiplied by N standard parameters of N characteristics corresponding to M pathology categories respectively, and M is a natural number.
The preset standard parameters are parameters set according to the sizes or ranges of the N characteristic parameters under each pathological category, and the standard parameters are in one-to-one correspondence with the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed, namely, each pathological category contains the N standard parameters, so that the M pathological categories contain M multiplied by N standard parameters. Continuing with the example of ovarian epithelial malignancy in step S102, there are 7 feature parameters corresponding to the pathological categories that exist including: serous adenocarcinomas, mucinous adenocarcinomas, endometrioid adenocarcinomas, clear cell adenocarcinomas and metastatic adenocarcinomas. There are N standard parameters for each pathology category, e.g., values for 95%, 75% and 5% for 7 standard parameters for serous adenocarcinoma, i.e., pax-8, WT-1, CA125, P53, CEA, ER and PVHL, respectively.
And 106, respectively calculating the predicted distances between the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed and the standard parameters corresponding to each pathological category by adopting a preset distance calculation method to obtain M predicted distances.
The preset distance calculation method is a quantization method which is preset and used for comparing the similarity degree of the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed and the standard parameters. The distance calculating method can be one or more of Euclidean distance, minkowski distance, manhattan distance, chebyshev distance, cosine similarity and/or distance measurement of pearson correlation coefficient, and can be specifically selected according to the characteristics of each distance and the standard parameters and/or the characteristics of the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed. The prediction distance refers to a quantized value of the similarity degree of the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed and the standard parameter corresponding to each pathology type. Specifically, N characteristic parameters in the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed are respectively calculated with N standard parameters corresponding to M pathological categories according to a preset distance calculation method, so as to obtain M predicted distances. It can be understood that the prediction distance between the feature parameter to be diagnosed and the standard parameter corresponding to each pathological category is calculated by a preset distance calculation method, so that the specific quantification of the similarity degree of the feature parameter to be diagnosed and the standard parameter is realized, and the objectivity of calculating the prediction distance is improved. And the preset distance calculation method comprises various distance measures, so that the accuracy of calculating the predicted distance is improved.
And step 108, determining the pathological category corresponding to the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed according to the M predicted distances.
Specifically, according to specific values corresponding to the M predicted distances and the relation between the magnitude of the predicted distances and the positive correlation or the negative correlation of the similarity, the pathology category corresponding to the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed is determined. For example, 5 pathology categories: the predicted distances corresponding to serous adenocarcinomas, mucinous adenocarcinomas, endometrioid adenocarcinomas, clear cell adenocarcinomas and metastatic adenocarcinomas are: 0.7, 0.5, 0.4 and 0.5, and the predicted distance is positively correlated with the similarity degree, namely, the greater the predicted distance is, the higher the similarity degree is, and the pathological category corresponding to the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed is the pathological category corresponding to the predicted distance of 0.7, namely, serous adenocarcinoma. It can be understood that the feature parameters to be diagnosed are calculated and compared with the standard parameters corresponding to each pathological category one by one, so that the pathological diagnosis is automated, and the objectivity and the accuracy of the pathological diagnosis are ensured.
According to the method for identifying the pathological category based on the distance calculation method, the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed are obtained, wherein the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed comprise N characteristic parameters corresponding to N characteristics; acquiring preset standard parameters, wherein the preset standard parameters comprise M multiplied by N standard parameters of N characteristics corresponding to M pathology categories respectively; respectively calculating the predicted distances between the characteristic parameters to be diagnosed and the standard parameters corresponding to each pathological category by adopting a preset distance calculation method to obtain M predicted distances; according to the M predicted distances, the pathological category corresponding to the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed is determined, and the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed is calculated and compared with the standard parameter corresponding to each pathological category one by adopting a plurality of methods based on distance calculation, so that the automation of pathological diagnosis is realized, and the objectivity and the accuracy of the pathological diagnosis are improved.
As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, a preset distance calculation method is adopted to calculate the predicted distances between the feature parameters to be diagnosed and the standard parameters corresponding to each pathology category, so as to obtain M predicted distances, including:
106A, respectively calculating a first distance and/or a second distance of each characteristic parameter and standard parameters corresponding to M pathological categories to obtain M multiplied by N characteristic distances;
And 106B, respectively carrying out fusion calculation on N characteristic distances corresponding to each pathology type to obtain M predicted distances.
The first distance and the second distance are two types of distances respectively, and are classified according to the correlation relation with the similarity degree. For example, a first distance is positively correlated with a degree of similarity, and a second distance is inversely correlated with the degree of similarity. The feature distance refers to a distance between a single feature parameter and a corresponding standard parameter, and may also be one or more of euclidean distance, markov distance, manhattan distance, and chebyshev distance, cosine similarity, and/or distance measures of pearson correlation coefficients. Specifically, respectively carrying out distance calculation on N characteristic parameters and standard parameters corresponding to M pathological categories, wherein the distance is a first distance and/or a second distance, and M multiplied by N characteristic distances are obtained; and then carrying out fusion calculation on N characteristic distances corresponding to each pathology type to obtain M prediction distances. The fusion calculation refers to a processing method for calculating a plurality of indexes, for example, the calculation can be performed by weighting and summing after the weight of each index is set according to the importance of each index, or the self-adaptive fusion can be performed according to a preset rule. It can be appreciated that in this embodiment, by performing fusion calculation on each feature distance, the influence of each feature distance on the predicted distance is considered in fusion, so that the accuracy of determining the predicted distance is further ensured.
As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, fusion calculation is performed on N feature distances corresponding to each pathology category, to obtain M predicted distances, which includes:
step 106B1, obtaining a preset weight corresponding to each characteristic distance;
And 106B2, carrying out weighted calculation according to N characteristic distances corresponding to each pathology type and corresponding preset weights to obtain M prediction distances.
Specifically, a preset weight of each characteristic distance is first determined, and the preset weight can be set according to the influence of each characteristic distance on the correctness of pathological diagnosis. And then, carrying out weighted calculation according to N characteristic distances corresponding to each pathology type and corresponding preset weights to obtain M prediction distances. It can be appreciated that in this embodiment, the predicted distance is obtained through weighted calculation, and the fusion calculation method is simple and fast, so that the speed of calculating the predicted distance is improved.
In one embodiment, the first distance is at least one of Euclidean distance, minkowski distance, manhattan distance, and Chebyshev distance, and the second distance is cosine similarity and/or a Pierson correlation coefficient.
Wherein the first distance is at least one of euclidean distance, minkowski distance, manhattan distance, and chebyshev distance, and the euclidean distance (Euclidean Distance) is an absolute distance between points in the multidimensional space, and the formula is: where dist (X 1,Y1) is denoted as Euclidean distance, X i is denoted as the i-th feature parameter, and y i is denoted as the i-th standard parameter corresponding to the i-th feature parameter. The Minkowski distance (Minkowski Distance) is a generalization of the Euclidean distance, and is a generalized representation of a number of distance metric formulas, which are: /(I) Wherein dist (X 2,Y2) is expressed as a minkowski distance, X i is expressed as an i-th feature parameter, y i is expressed as an i-th standard parameter corresponding to the i-th feature parameter, and p is a constant. Manhattan distance (MANHATTAN DISTANCE) is derived from city block distance, and is the result of summing distances in multiple dimensions, and the formula is: /(I)Where dist (X 3,Y3) is expressed as Manhattan distance, X i is expressed as the ith feature parameter, and y i is expressed as the ith standard parameter corresponding to the ith feature parameter. Chebyshev distance (Chebyshev Distance) is a measure in vector space, the distance between two points is defined as the maximum value of the absolute value of the difference between the numerical values of the coordinates, and the formula is: /(I)Where dist (X 4,Y4) is denoted as Chebyshev distance, X i is denoted as the i-th feature parameter, and y i is denoted as the i-th standard parameter corresponding to the i-th feature parameter. And the Euclidean distance, the Minkowski distance, the Manhattan distance and the Chebyshev distance are in negative correlation with the similarity, i.e. the larger the first distance is, the lower the similarity is. The second distance is cosine similarity and/or pearson correlation coefficient, the cosine similarity (Cosine Similarity) is the cosine value of the included angle of two vectors in the vector space, which is used for measuring the difference between two individuals, and the formula is as follows: /(I)Where sim (X, Y) is denoted as cosine similarity, X is denoted as a characteristic parameter, and Y is denoted as a standard parameter corresponding to the characteristic parameter X. The pearson correlation coefficient (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) is used to measure whether two data sets are above a line, and is used to measure the linear relationship between distance variables, and its formula is: Where r (X, Y) is denoted as pearson correlation coefficient, X is denoted as a characteristic parameter, and Y is denoted as a standard parameter corresponding to the characteristic parameter X. The cosine similarity and the pearson correlation coefficient have a negative correlation with the degree of similarity, i.e. the greater the second distance, the higher the degree of similarity. It can be understood that the first distance and the second distance have respective distance measurement scenes, so that the appropriate first distance or second distance is selected according to the application scene of the feature parameter to be diagnosed, so as to further improve the accuracy of pathological diagnosis.
In one embodiment, obtaining a preset weight corresponding to each feature distance includes: when the characteristic distance is the first distance, the preset weight is a negative number; when the feature distance is the second distance, the preset weight is a positive number.
Specifically, when the feature distance is the first distance, the preset weight is a negative number, when the feature distance is the second distance, the preset weight is a positive number, and because the first distance is in negative correlation with the similarity, the corresponding preset weight is determined to be a negative number, and the second distance is in positive correlation with the similarity, the corresponding preset weight is determined to be a positive number, so that the predicted distance calculated based on the preset weight is in positive correlation with the similarity, further pathological diagnosis can be conveniently performed according to the predicted distance, and the efficiency of pathological diagnosis is further improved.
In one embodiment, the fusion calculation is performed on N feature distances corresponding to each pathology category to obtain M predicted distances, which includes: when the characteristic distance is the first distance, the predicted distance and the characteristic distance are in negative correlation; when the feature distance is the second distance, the predicted distance is positively correlated with the feature distance.
As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, determining a pathology category corresponding to the feature parameter to be diagnosed according to the magnitudes of the M prediction distances includes:
Step 108A, determining the duty ratio of each predicted distance to M predicted distances as the probability of the corresponding pathology class;
and step 108B, determining the pathological category corresponding to the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed according to the probability of each pathological category.
In this embodiment, a ratio value of each predicted distance to the sum of the M predicted distances is calculated, the ratio value is determined as a probability of a pathology class corresponding to the feature parameter to be diagnosed, and the pathology class corresponding to the feature parameter to be diagnosed is determined according to the probability of each pathology class. For example, 5 pathology categories: the predicted distances corresponding to serous adenocarcinomas, mucinous adenocarcinomas, endometrioid adenocarcinomas, clear cell adenocarcinomas and metastatic adenocarcinomas are: the probabilities of the corresponding pathological categories are 28%, 20%, 16% and 20% in sequence, and thus, serous adenocarcinoma with the probability of the pathological category of 28% is the pathological category corresponding to the characteristic parameter to be diagnosed. It can be understood that the probability of each predicted distance in M predicted distances is determined as the basis of the pathological diagnosis by using the ratio of each predicted distance in M predicted distances as the basis of the pathological diagnosis, so that the calculation is simple and quick, and the accuracy and the efficiency of the pathological diagnosis are improved.
