Description

Knowledge distillation-based weak supervision bone scanning image hot spot segmentation method and system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of bone scanning image processing, and relates to a knowledge distillation-based weak supervision bone scanning image hot spot segmentation method and system.
Background
As one of the most common and serious complications of cancer, bone metastasis has long been recognized as a powerful cause of suffering in cancer patients. According to statistics, the incidence rate of bone metastasis tumor is 35-40 times of that of primary malignant tumor of bone, and the bone metastasis tumor is one of main reasons of cancer pain, and pathological fracture, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia, bone marrow failure and other complications caused by the bone metastasis tumor are often further accelerated to further accelerate the development of disease conditions, so that the life quality of cancer patients is seriously influenced. 80% -90% of patients with bone metastases from malignant primary tumors die within a few years before they are effectively treated. Therefore, an effective diagnosis of bone metastasis would be one of the determining factors in determining the patient's condition development and subsequent treatment.
In the detection of bone metastases, the examination of medical imaging is a critical step. Among the current series of imaging techniques, PET, CT, MRI and nuclear bone imaging (BS) techniques are relatively predominant in the evaluation of malignant bone metastases. Notably, while PET and PET/CT are the most effective bone metastasis screening techniques in recent years, nuclide bone imaging (BS) remains the most commonly used imaging method in nuclear medicine due to a range of factors such as efficiency cost.
Because the traditional nuclear medicine physician needs to spend a great deal of time on the manual film reading for the relatively mechanical work such as contrast adjustment and the like. In recent years, a large number of scholars try to realize automatic bone scanning detection by an artificial intelligence method, and certain results are obtained. However, the following problems still exist in the practical application of the models:
1) the model which is only classified can only determine whether a hot spot exists in a part, cannot find the exact position of the hot spot, cannot meet the actual requirement, and has limited application value;
2) for a model capable of performing hot spot detection or segmentation, a large amount of data labeling at the early stage cannot be avoided, however, for labeling bone metastasis, a set of unified authoritative standards is not provided in the industry until now, so that the data labeling is seriously dependent on subjective judgment, the reliability and the availability of supervision information are relatively low, and the practical value of the model cannot be in direct proportion to the heavy labeling work at the previous stage;
3) in the absence of supervision information related to the hot spot, the classical hot spot segmentation method is often difficult to handle the more complex environment around the bone metastasis hot spot, including both background and bone;
4) the bone scan detection method usually needs to perform a subdivision judgment for each part, which results in a longer time consumption and more computing resources for outputting the result.
