Description

Angiography device and equipment based on CT (computed tomography) image and computer readable medium
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of medical image processing technologies, and in particular, to an angiography device, method, apparatus, and computer readable medium based on CT images.
Background
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the general names of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and a global disease survey report published by the world health organization in 2014 mentions that the mortality rate of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is the first of non-infectious diseases in the world, and the high morbidity, high mortality, high disability rate and high recurrence rate of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases form great threats to the health of Chinese people, so that the pandemic trend of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is restrained.
The vascular intervention operation is an important means for treating the current vascular diseases, and has the advantages of small wound, quick recovery, few complications and the like. The safety and effectiveness of interventional operation in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, intracranial aneurysm, acute thrombus occlusion and recanalization, cerebrovascular stenosis and the like are accepted by the medical field.
Intraoperative X-ray contrast imaging (2D DSA) is a common imaging modality in vascular interventional procedures, while Coronary Angiography (CAG) is the "gold standard" for diagnosing coronary heart disease, and is also the basic work of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Through an angiography system DSA, a proper projection position and an appropriate projection angle are selected, two frames of X-ray images shot before and after the injection of contrast agent are digitally input into an image computer, and bone and soft tissue images on the angiography image are eliminated through subtraction, enhancement and re-imaging processes to obtain a clear pure blood vessel image, so that real blood vessel shape and form information can be provided. The angiography system DSA comprises a frame, a C-shaped arm, an X-ray tube assembly, an image intensifier, a patient examination bed, a high-voltage generator, a monitor, a suspension system of the monitor and the image intensifier, and the like, wherein the X-ray tube assembly and the image intensifier are respectively arranged at the lower end and the upper end of the C-shaped arm and are parallel to each other. In coronary angiography, the commonly used projection angles are: RAO (right oblique, intensifier in the upper right of the patient); LAO (left anterior oblique, enhancer on upper left of patient); CRA (head position, intensifier near patient's head); CAU (foot position, intensifier near patient's foot); AP (in the right position, with the augmentor directly facing the patient's sternum); LAT (lateral, intensifier on the side of patient).
The left coronary angiography generally has 6 body positions, blood vessels exposed at different angles are different, the blood vessels are separated in position, and the optimal observation body position of the target blood vessel is found by selecting different body positions. When the catheter is in place, the head-left shoulder-spider-foot-liver-right shoulder is rotated clockwise one turn for projection. Wherein, the rotation angles of the C-shaped arm and the image intensifier when the head is righted are respectively as follows: AP + CRA30 degrees, LAO30 degrees + CRA20 degrees on the left shoulder, LAO45 degrees + CAU30 degrees on the spider, AP + CAU30 degrees on the foot, RAO30 degrees + CAU20 degrees on the liver, RAO30 degrees + CRA20 degrees on the right shoulder.
The right coronary artery has few branches, so the commonly used projection positions are the left anterior oblique position and the head position. The left front oblique position is LAO45 degrees, and the head position is AP + CRA20 degrees.
By rotation of the C-arm, the image intensifier and the X-ray tube, the transmission angle can be determined. However, the angiography system DSA can only provide 2D image information, cannot provide three-dimensional anatomical information, and is difficult to accurately determine the position of the vascular stenosis, and a doctor needs to imagine 3D structural information of an internal tissue according to experience under the guidance of a 2D image, and seriously depends on the experience of the doctor, thereby easily causing errors of a catheter insertion path and a stent placement pose; even if the coronary artery 2D graph is shot at a standard angle, the blood vessel occlusion problem often occurs, so that a real focus can be occluded and cannot be clearly checked, and a doctor needs to adjust the shooting angle according to experience, so that the position of a lesion is not accurately judged, and the operation time and the success rate are influenced. In addition, the catheter position is tracked in real time by repeatedly injecting contrast medium and performing X-ray irradiation for obtaining the position of the interventional object in the body, which not only reduces the operation efficiency, but also causes radiation exposure of doctors and patients, thereby bringing about potential hidden troubles.
The preoperative CT or MR global three-dimensional imaging can be used for describing the 3D structure of an anatomical tissue, evaluating and analyzing the focus and providing a basis for the diagnosis of a patient and the determination of a treatment scheme; if the medical images of various modes are registered and fused, richer and more comprehensive anatomical structure information of blood vessels and peripheral organs can be provided for the diagnosis and treatment process of doctors, and the operation precision is improved; however, the current preoperative images still cannot be effectively used in the operation, and references such as tissue deformation information and position and shape information of an interventional object cannot be provided in the operation, so that the difficulty in designing an interventional treatment scheme is improved.
Therefore, how to effectively utilize various novel medical image information such as CTA, MRA, DSA and the like, realize real-time high-precision fusion, reduce the radiation to doctors and patients in the vascular interventional therapy process, reduce the operation difficulty of the doctors, improve the success rate of the operation and become a technical problem which is urgently needed to be solved at present.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it is noted that the term "or" is generally employed in its sense including "and/or" unless the content clearly dictates otherwise.
It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making any creative effort based on the embodiments in the present invention, belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides an angiography device based on CT images, including: the three-dimensional image acquisition module is used for acquiring a modeling file output by the CT equipment; a marking module for marking the position of the selected suspected lesion in the modeling file; the projection angle calculation module is used for eliminating three-dimensional occlusion caused by blood vessels existing around the suspected lesion and calculating at least one non-occlusion projection angle; the contrast position calculation module is used for calculating a recommended contrast position of an image intensifier in the angiography machine according to the non-shielding projection angle; and the rotation driving module is used for driving the angiography machine to rotate to the recommended angiography position.
Example 1
This embodiment 1 provides an angiography device 100 based on CT images, which eliminates three-dimensional occlusion around a suspected lesion, and calculates a plurality of non-occluded projection angles and a plurality of recommended angiography positions of an angiography machine, so as to reduce the frequency of adjusting the angle of the angiography machine and injecting a contrast medium during an operation, so that a doctor performs evaluation and analysis on the lesion in combination with a 2D image during the operation under the guidance of a preoperative 3D image, provide richer and more comprehensive anatomical structure information of a blood vessel and peripheral organs for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment process, and improve the accuracy and success rate of the operation.
In a preferred embodiment, the CT image based angiography apparatus 100 includes a stereo image acquisition module 110, a labeling module 120, a projection angle calculation module 130, an angiography position calculation module 140, and a rotation driving module 150 according to fig. 1.
Preferably, the stereo image acquiring module 110 is configured to acquire a modeling file output by the CT apparatus, wherein the modeling file is a preoperative medical image output by the CT apparatus according to the DICOM standard, and can be used to describe anatomical tissues, such as 3D structures of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. It should be noted that DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a medical Digital Imaging and communication standard, by which people can establish an interface on Imaging equipment to complete input/output work of image data, and the equipment includes not only CT, MR, nuclear Medicine and ultrasound examination, but also CR, film digitization system, video acquisition system, HIS/RIS information management system, etc. Therefore, in the information network system adopting DICOM standard, all DICOM devices can be connected and operated with each other according to DICOM network upper layer protocol. Preferably, in this embodiment, the modeling file may be output in the form of an optical disc, or may be transmitted to other operating devices through the DICOM standard.
Preferably, the marking module 120 is used for marking the position of the suspected lesion clicked by the physician in the modeling file. Because the modeling file is a medical image output by the DICOM standard, and the stored content of the modeling file comprises the CT value of a patient, information of a CT machine, a layer thickness, a timestamp, basic information of the patient and the like, a Dicom file browser can be applied to mark the modeling file, and common Dicom file browsers comprise ImageJ,3Dslicer, ITK-SNAP, pydicom, simITK, dicommead, MIMICS and the like; further, in this embodiment, the doctor may observe the positions of one or more suspected lesions in the blood vessel in the modeling document, and then mark the positions separately, where the positions include coordinate parameters of the lesions in a three-dimensional coordinate system when marking the positions of the lesions, and store the coordinate parameters of the positions of the multiple lesions one by one.
In other embodiments, artificial intelligence may also be used to detect and determine the location of the lesion. For example, the method of deep learning is used for detecting the aneurysm on the TOF-MRA image, and the accuracy rate is improved by 9.3% compared with that of the original base. In the detection of small aneurysms, the detection accuracy can be greatly improved by machine learning. Using a computer-aided method of detecting aneurysms, a convolutional neural network is used to detect each pixel separately inside or outside the aneurysm, which can result in a sensitivity of 70%.
Preferably, the projection angle calculation module 130 is configured to exclude a three-dimensional occlusion caused by a blood vessel around the suspected lesion and calculate an unobstructed projection angle. In a preferred embodiment, all undesired angles that may affect the vessel view due to three-dimensional occlusion may be excluded by the depth caching algorithm. It should be further noted that a depth-buffer method (depth-buffer method) is a commonly used object-space algorithm for determining the visibility of the object surface, and compares the depths of all the surfaces in the scene at each pixel position on the projection surface. When the depth cache algorithm is used, the blood vessel marked with the focus position in the modeling file is projected onto a plane, the depth at the projection point is compared with the depth value at the corresponding position in the depth cache to determine whether the focus position has three-dimensional occlusion, whether all possible projection surfaces have occlusion or not is calculated one by one, and all unexpected angles which possibly influence the blood vessel observation due to the three-dimensional occlusion are eliminated. Preferably, in order to improve the operation efficiency, the fine adjustment of the angle can be performed near six positions of the contrast medium commonly used for the left coronary artery and two positions of the contrast medium commonly used for the right coronary artery, so as to obtain a better projection angle more quickly.
Further, the non-occluded projection angle can be calculated by a filtered back projection reconstruction algorithm. The filtering back projection reconstruction algorithm (FBP) is a space domain processing technology based on Fourier transform theory, and is characterized by that before back projection the projection under every collected projection angle is undergone the process of convolution treatment so as to improve the form artifact resulted from point spread function and obtain good reconstructed image quality. When the algorithm is carried out, firstly, carrying out one-dimensional Fourier transform on projection data of all the remaining angles excluding all unexpected angles which may influence the observation of blood vessels due to three-dimensional occlusion, and then carrying out convolution operation on the projection data and a filter function to obtain convolution filtered projection data in all directions; then, carrying out back projection on the matrix units along all directions, namely, evenly distributing the matrix units to each matrix unit according to the original paths of the matrix units, and overlapping to obtain the CT value of each matrix unit; and obtaining a tomographic image of the scanned object after proper processing, selecting two, four, six or more clearest images according to requirements, recording projection angles corresponding to the clearest images, and taking the projection angles as non-shielding projection angles.
Preferably, the contrast position calculation module 140 is configured to calculate a recommended contrast position of the image intensifier in the angiographic apparatus according to the non-occlusion projection angle, and under the premise that the non-occlusion projection angle is known, the rotation angle of the C-arm and the rotation angle of the image intensifier in the angiographic apparatus may be reversely deduced to serve as the recommended contrast position, that is, the contrast posture.
Further, the four commonly used contrast positions of the left corona during the PCI operation at present are LAO30 ° + CRA30 °, RAO20 ° + CAU20 °, LAO40 ° + CAU30 °; when the contrast position calculation module 140 is used to perform actual calculation, the obtained recommended contrast position of the left coronary artery is: LAO32 ° + CRA36 °, RAO28 ° + CRA31 °, RAO20 ° + CAU25 °, LAO41 ° + CAU31 °; or LAO30 ° + CRA33 °, RAO29 ° + CRA33 °, RAO19 ° + CAU21 °, LAO43 ° + CAU33 °; or LAO32 ° + CRA36 °, RAO28 ° + CRA31 °, RAO20 ° + CAU25 °, LAO41 ° + CAU31 °. In the prior art, when a physician operates, the conventional procedure is to rotate the angiography machine to a standard angiography position, and further fine-tune the angiography machine if the image is blocked during the operation until the image is clear and has no blocking position. In the embodiment, the contrast position calculating module 140 further provides at least three recommended contrast positions in each standard contrast position, and in consideration of the operation efficiency, the recommended contrast position close to the standard contrast position is preferentially selected when the recommended contrast position is selected.
When the contrast position calculation module 140 is used to perform actual calculation, the obtained recommended contrast position of the right coronary artery is: LAO42 degrees, AP + CRA21 degrees; or LAO40 degrees and AP + CRA30 degrees; or LAO45 °, CRA29 °. During the operation, the recommended contrast position is selected as above, and the recommended contrast position close to the standard contrast posture is preferably selected.
Preferably, the rotation driving module 150 is used for driving the C-arm and the image intensifier in the angiography machine to rotate to the recommended angiography position for angiography.
In this example, the specific application method of the present invention is as follows:
when carrying out vascular interventional operations such as PCI and the like, a CT modeling file of a diseased vessel of a patient is obtained through a CT device, the modeling file is input into a stereo image obtaining module 110 in an angiography device based on a CT image through a DICOM standard, then a marking module 120 marks the position of a suspected focus in the modeling file, the position comprises coordinate parameters of the focus in a three-dimensional coordinate system, the coordinate parameters of a plurality of focus positions are stored one by one, a projection angle calculating module 130 is used for eliminating three-dimensional occlusion around the suspected focus through a depth caching algorithm, a non-occlusion projection angle is calculated through a filtered wave back-projection reconstruction algorithm, an angiography position calculating module 140 calculates a recommended angiography position of an image intensifier in the angiography machine according to the obtained non-occlusion projection angle, and then a C-shaped arm and the image intensifier in the angiography machine are driven to rotate to the recommended angiography position through a rotation driving module 150 to rotate corresponding angles.
Compared with the prior art, the embodiment can enable a doctor to more accurately judge and check the focus position, check the tissue deformation information and the position morphological information of an interventional object by combining the preoperative image when carrying out the blood vessel interventional operations such as PCI and the like, reduce the frequency of adjusting the angle of an angiography machine and injecting a contrast agent in the operation, improve the operation precision and success rate, greatly shorten the operation time of the interventional operation, and reduce the radiation exposure risk of the doctor and a patient.

Preferably, the model reconstruction module 160 identifies the structure of the target organ by using a full convolution neural network FCN with multiple convolution layers as a main structure, and then automatically segments the target organ by using a 3D U-Net frame and reconstructs a three-dimensional model of the target blood vessel. The full convolution network FCN can classify images at a pixel level, the images with any size are input into the FCN, the final classification result can be restored to the size of the original image through feature extraction of convolution layers and upsampling of the convolution layers, and an end-to-end network structure is formed. U-Net is also one of the more common image segmentation networks. By using the image segmentation algorithm in the field of deep learning, the error can be greatly reduced, and the efficiency and the accuracy of organ structure identification are improved.
Preferably, the registration module 170 is used for registering the three-dimensional model with the intraoperative two-dimensional image obtained by rotating the angiography machine to the recommended radiography position; specifically, the blood vessels are segmented from the intraoperative two-dimensional image, and the three-dimensional model reconstructed by the model reconstruction module 160 is combined, and the blood vessels are used as the internal features for registration. Firstly, a global registration method is utilized to carry out global transformation on the reconstructed three-dimensional model, the reconstructed three-dimensional model is integrally aligned with the intraoperative two-dimensional image, and then the registration of the two images is realized through non-rigid local deformation.
Preferably, the judging module 180 is configured to judge whether the registered image meets the observation expectation, that is, whether the blood vessel at the lesion is clear and free of occlusion in the intraoperative two-dimensional image captured by the doctor during the operation.
The optimization module 190 is configured to modify the rotation angles of the C-arm and the image intensifier in the angiography machine and return the modified angles to the projection angle calculation module 130, so as to optimize the non-occlusion projection angle.
In this example, the specific application method of the present invention is as follows:
