Description

结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及一种医学影像辅助诊断方法，尤其涉及一种结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法，同时涉及相应的医学影像辅助诊断系统，属于医学影像辅助诊断技术领域。
背景技术
众所周知，影像科的普通医生虽然在课堂上经过大量学习，在实习及后续的住院医师临床实践中，仍然要持续地接受资深专家的指点。而这些指点，无一不是在发生在具体的诊疗实践中。资深专家需要结合具体的医学影像，针对普通医生的影像报告进行修改指正。
但是，目前针对医学影像的诊断工作存在如下问题：
1)医学影像中展示的各个器官、病灶跟影像报告中对应的描述内容之间高度隔离，相互的关联完全没有系统级的支持。两部分内容之间的对应和关联，完全依赖阅读及审核人员的眼睛和专业知识。这样导致，高级医生审核低级医生报告时，及会诊转诊中需要审核之前的报告时，难以从报告中的病灶描述找到对应的影像表现，耗时长效率低。
2)医学影像协会推动的结构化报告，具有对病灶描述精准、描述规范统一等优点，但是在实践中较为繁琐、效率低下，导致难以应用推广。
3)现有应用于医学影像领域的深度学习方法，需要进行大量的病灶标注工作，而且大量的标注样本没有得到充分利用，缺乏可解释性。另外，传统的PACS系统(图片存档及通信系统)的标注及医学影像中的标注，需要额外耗费大量人工，而且不能与现有影像科医生的日常工作进行有机结合。
为了解决上述问题，很多机构进行了大量的研究和探索，但是，对于现有技术中大量的标注样本没有得到充分利用，不能与影像科医生的日常工作有机结合等问题，现有技术方案并没有有效解决，而且生成系统的扩展性不强，不能及时对动态诊断报告的准确性进行完善。 另一方面，影像领域的结构化报告是医学影像管理领域的必然发展方向。没有基于专业化、结构化的报告，大数据的概念就是虚假的，数据挖掘和在线决策支持就不能实现，也无法基于“诊断金标准”给出诊断的分级，更不可能对临床科室提供面向治疗方案的实用报告。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图和具体实施例对本发明的技术内容进行详细具体的说明。
本发明所提供的结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法，是在医学影像中初步的医学解剖结构表达及初步的病灶识别能力的基础上，改变目前医生制作、编辑及审核影像报告的流程，通过医生对属于特定的影像区域(无论该区域是属于二维影像、三维影像中的二维切片或动态影像中的某个特定截图的某个部分)的某个生理结构(器官、组织或病灶)进行勾画或指点，自动或半自动地生成对应于该生理结构的影像报告描述内容条目(即影像语义的表达内容)，并且将该条目内的命名实体与所对应的影像的特定区域对应链接。
与现有技术相比较，本发明是一个模拟互动式训练的医疗影像读片机器学习方法及系统。它通过对影像科医生常用的读片报告流程的再造，可以大大提升读片及报告生成效率，以及报告编辑和审核效率，同时构造一个可以持续与高端医生沟通，不断学习提升阅片能力和报告能力的人工智能阅片技术体系。
如图1所示，本发明所提供的结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法，主要包括如下步骤：首先，根据影像领域的标准化词典库和病灶图像库中的历史积累的医学影像报告分析建立图像语义表达知识图谱；然后，获取患者医学影像，确定在二维影像上的感兴趣区域，根据图像语义表达知识图谱以及所述感兴趣区域提供患者的候选病灶选项。最后，根据所述感兴趣区域和所述候选病灶选项确定 病灶类型；根据所述病灶类型分割出病变区域，生成与患者医学影像的感兴趣区域相关联的结构化报告，同时将所述病变区域和对应的影像语义的表达内容加入到对应的病灶图像库中，并将结构化报告发放给患者。下面对这一过程做详细具体的说明。
S1，根据影像领域的标准化词典库和病灶图像库中的历史积累的医学影像报告分析建立图像语义表达知识图谱；这里的图像语义表达知识图谱是医疗影像报告知识图谱及影像语义体系的统称。
根据影像领域的标准化词典库和历史积累的医学影像报告分析建立各类器官、各类病灶及其病变描述的图像语义表达知识图谱，具体包括如下步骤：
S11，基于影像领域的标准化词典库，形成基础的命名实体列表。
基于影像领域的标准化词典库(在本发明所提供的实施例中，基于标准化词典库RADELX)，形成基础的命名实体列表；命名实体包括各类器官、病灶等。
S12，通过对病灶图像库中的历史积累的医学影像报告进行分析，形成各个命名实体的特性描述文字规范。
通过对不同类型的医学影像(包括但不限于肺部CT、钼靶、脑血管MRI、心血管超声等)的海量医学影像报告进行分析以及专家知识，形成对应各类器官病变及病灶的各类特性描述的文字规范。
医学影像报告包含各类器官的状态描述及内部的某些局部的病灶描述。当前的一个趋势是基于影像领域的标准化词典库RADELX，建立覆盖RSNA(北美放射学会)和ACR(美国放射学院)的RADS(影像报告和数据系统)结构化报告。该结构化报告会明确地描述影像中病变的位置、性质及等级。一般来说，特定类型的病灶与器官的空间位置关系比较明确，也有相对特定的灰度分布(包括灰度在空间位置上的分布)及纹理结构，因而在影像上有较为明确的语义表达。
S13，基于专家知识，将获得的各个命名实体的特性描述文字规范转变为影像语义的表达，将每个命名实体以及所述命名实体对应的影像、影像语义的表达内容共同创建医学影像的图像语义表达知识图谱。
基于专家知识，将获得的命名实体的特性描述文字规范转变为影像语义的表达内容，包括空间属性、灰度分布、纹理结构描述等，从 而构成影像报告涉及的医疗本体中的图像语义表达知识图谱。图像语义表达知识图谱，除了文字及数据的结构化描述，还包含每个命名实体(包括易于识别的基本组成部分及病灶)类型对应的那些图像(多为局部图像)标注样本。
下面以几个具体实施例来说明图像语义表达知识图谱的结构和内容。例如：

2.磨玻璃密度影(GGO：Ground Gloss Opacity)：别称毛玻璃结节，其对应的影像语义的表达为；
位置-被包含于：1)左右肺内；2)气管、支气管内。
位置-邻居：1)被肺内空气包围，2)连接肺壁，3)连接血管，4)连接支气管。
类型：完全型(PGGO)、混合型(MGGO)分别如图3和图4所示；

形状：块状堆积。
边界：清晰或不清晰，多有毛刺。
3.空洞(Cavity)，其对应的影像语义的表达为：

对应病变：
虫蚀样空洞：大叶干酪性肺炎等，如图5所示；
薄壁空洞：继发性肺结核等，如图6所示；
厚壁空洞：结核球、肺鳞癌等，如图7所示。
经过初始化，本医学影像辅助诊断系统初步构建了图像语义表达知识图谱，对应于不同类型、不同目的、不同部位扫描的医疗影像中对应的器官、病变、病灶形成了不同的属性描述，并且其属性描述(定性或定量)均可计算，即在医疗影像中的具体的物体(Object)识别后对应的特征提取中计算获得其属性描述，例如具体病灶在该影像中的相对的空间位置范围、密度平均值、标准偏差、熵、圆度或球形度、边缘毛刺度、边缘清晰度、直方图、围绕中心的距离的密度分布图、纹理表达的相关性矩阵等。
S2，获取患者医学影像，系统预处理识别定位出患者医学图像的一些基本的易于识别的组成部分，并以这些基本信息，结合专家在二维影像上划出的感兴趣区域，根据图像语义表达知识图谱以及所述感兴趣区域提供患者的候选病灶选项。
要生成结构化报告，需要先获取患者的个人信息以及患者的医学影像。在本发明中，获取患者医学影像的技术手段包括但不限于胸肺CT、腹部CT、脑血管MRI、乳腺MRI、腹部超声等。获取患者医学影像之后，系统预处理识别定位出患者医学图像的一些基本的易于识别 的组成部分，就是需要先识别出一些基本组成部分-如肺内空气、骨骼、椎骨等，然后结合这些基本组成部分的识别和定位，再结合专家手动画的ROI(感兴趣区域)与这些识别出的基本组成部分的空间位置关系，来初步确定可能ROI内部的病灶选项列表，然后进一步进行筛选。人体器官普遍有相对固定的位置，其在医学影像中的位置及图像显示(图像上的灰度值等)一般较为明显，容易识别、定位、解构。图8为人体上半部躯干部位的器官分布图。以肺部CT(平扫或增强)为例，可以较为容易区分出其中的椎骨、气管、支气管、淋巴、肺内空气、血管等部分，以及其中的一些大的变异现象，如胸肺积液、大的占位等。MRI影像及超声动态影像中，运用人眼或者计算机的图像诊断系统也同样容易识别并准确定位这些器官部分。这些器官部分相对容易利用图像识别算法，通过阈值分析、边缘检测、结合位置信息来进行初步的病灶识别及定位。图9为三维CT胸肺影像的某个横截面图。高亮度部分是骨骼，底部中间三角形(中间灰色)部分是椎骨，内部左右两边的黑色(HU低密度)部分大型连通区域是肺内空气，中央部分的几个黑色圆形区域是支气管的截面图。血管是肺内空气环绕的那些比较亮的线段或圆形椭圆形截面。图10b显示了原始的肺部CT图像(图10a为其二维截图)经过阈值处理及连通分析后，标注出(红色部分)的肺内空气部分。这部分的识别定位，对于专家在该区域内划出感兴趣区域时，系统分析推理出可能的病灶类型，有很强的辅助限制意义；暨，仅处于该区域包围或邻接的病灶类型需要被进一步分析(纹理分析、密度-空间分析、卷积神经网络匹配等)，其中高可能性的病灶类型被系统推出，供专家选择。
在获取患者医学影像之后，专家根据患者医学影像确定在二维影像上的感兴趣区域，即专家认为可能存在病变的区域。例如：如果放射科医生在肺部CT检查图像中，勾画的感兴趣区域主体在肺内，连着血管，同时该区域为肺内空气环绕(其中肺内空气的识别定位见图10)，本医学影像辅助诊断系统可以自动分析出这些位置特征，并通过感兴趣区域(ROI)内的分割算法及HU密度分布和纹理分析，推算出此处大概率为连接血管的结节，实性度不高也可能是毛玻璃结节，大片出现纹理杂乱则有可能是肺部感染。基于这些特性，以及图像语义表达 知识图谱、专家勾画的感兴趣区域，本医学影像辅助诊断系统在初步计算后，可以自动弹出一个选项列表，基于可能性排列出多个描述选项，即患者的候选病灶选项，该候选病灶选项可以为一项，也可以为多项。
具体的，当专家勾画出感兴趣区域之后，对感兴趣区域进行初步的定位分析，基于感兴趣区域的二维影像截面上的位置、纹理、灰度分布等特征，根据图像语义表达知识图谱中的命名实体(如某些病灶)对应的影像特征模型，确定在二维影像截面上所标的感兴趣区域可能包含的特征相似的命名实体类型(具体的某几类病灶)，通过交互界面(可以图形界面的选项形式，或语音问答形式)推送给专家，供专家选择。
这里的确定感兴趣区域可以是通过专家手动点击计算机完成或者通过图像识别算法完成。专家手动完成是医生通过PACS等医学影像展示系统进行浏览及观察，并发现部分疑似病变区域的，在二维影像截面上进行手工勾画，画出闭合曲线的形式，即在一个二维截面上定位一个感兴趣区域。
通过图像识别算法完成是由具有一定程度的读片(影像读取)能力的计算机通过某些类型的病灶识别算法(例如：传统的基于特征或规则的图像识别算法；或者深度学习算法如CNN、RNN等；辅助以迁移学习或增强学习)进行识别定位并自动提示。或者，通过与同类型的正常医学影像进行对比，找到患者医学影像与正常医学影像存在区别的区域，确定为感兴趣区域。
S3，根据所述感兴趣区域和所述候选病灶选项确定病灶类型；根据所述病灶类型分割出病变区域，生成与患者医学影像的感兴趣区域相关联的结构化报告，同时将所述病变区域和对应的影像语义的表达内容加入到对应的病灶图像库中。
S301，基于确定的感兴趣区域所属的病灶类型，对感兴趣区域进行定位分析，计算感兴趣区域的空间位置，并分割出病变区域。
根据专家确定的感兴趣区域和提供的候选病灶选项确定病灶选项，进而确定病灶类型；对感兴趣区域进行定位分析，计算感兴趣区域的空间位置，并分割出病变区域，生成与患者医学影像的感兴趣区 域相关联的结构化报告，同时将病变区域和对应的影像语义的表达内容加入到对应的病灶图像库中。其中，确定感兴趣区域之后，基于确定的感兴趣区域所属的病灶类型，对感兴趣区域进行定位分析，计算所述感兴趣区域的空间位置，并分割出病变区域，具体包括如下步骤：
S3011，根据感兴趣区域和候选病灶选项确定感兴趣区域所属的病灶类型。
前已述及，人体器官普遍有相对固定的位置，其在医学影像中的位置及图像显示(图像上的灰度值等)一般较为明显，容易识别、定位、解构。针对患者医学影像，对勾画出的感兴趣区域进行定位分析，根据勾画的感兴趣区域以及选择的病灶选项确定感兴趣区域所属的病灶类型。
S3012，基于该感兴趣区域确定的病灶类型，计算该感兴趣区域的空间位置，并分割出病变区域。
每类器官都有它独特的空间位置、灰度空间分布及纹理属性。例如：孤立的肺小结节都孤立地被肺内空气包围，在三维影像上表现为阈值处理及连通分支分析后，周边均为空气分支(HU密度低于某阈值且在肺内)包围。且该结节分支内部的HU密度值随分支中心的分布，符合某特定分布。连通血管的肺小结节周围基本被肺内空气包围，但可以通过一条或多条血管(高密度)连通到气管/支气管、胸膜、肺叶。在三维影像上表现为通过阈值处理及连通分支分析后，周边均为空气分支(HU密度低于某阈值且在肺内)包围，但有高密度窄通道血管分支(HU密度高于某阈值且在肺内)连接出去。高密度窄通道血管分支经过Morphological Analysis的Opening算子(以不同尺度的球形结构元素)，可以在影像中被过滤。其内部的HU密度-空间分布与孤立结节有些差异。而连接肺壁的肺小结节周围部分被肺内空气包围，但有一边紧贴肺壁。在三维影像上表现为通过阈值处理及连通分支分析后，经过Morphological Analysis的Opening算子(以不同尺度的球形结构元素)，可以影像中被过滤，分割出病灶。还有毛玻璃结节等其他类型结节。
基于该患者医学影像所确定的病灶类型计算该区域的空间位置、周边区域，即确定感兴趣区域是否在某个部位、器官内与某些器官邻 接，并在该感兴趣区域内采用多种方法(例如阈值计算、边缘提取、纹理分析等)进行分割，进一步划分出其中可能的病灶或病变区域。在该感兴趣区域内分割出病变区域，可以使用二维影像的灰度值，基于该类型病灶的阈值或纹理等特征，将不符合阈值要求或者纹理特征要求的区域分割出来作为病变区域。即通过计算感兴趣区域与已知的病灶类型的匹配度，得到可能的病灶或病变区域。
将分割出的病变区域以及病变区域对应的影像语义的表达内容添加到报告中，连同患者信息一起生成结构化报告。其中，病变区域对应的影像语义的表达内容为一种结构化的病灶描述条目，它将确定的病灶选项及其属性(包括该病灶的大小、毛刺度、清晰度、密度平均值、HU的直方图分布等等)生成与该医学影像的感兴趣区域(或判定为病灶区域)相关联。在本发明所提供的实施例中，结构化报告中确定的病灶选项的命名实体部分为一个与感兴趣区域关联的超链接。具体的，该超链接为确定的病变区域对应的影像语义的表达内容与该病变区域关联的超链接；通过点击超链接，可以同时查看病变区域以及与该病变区域(二维影像的感兴趣区域，或其在三维影像和二维动态影像分割出的时空片段)对应的影像语义的表达内容。有效的解决了现有报告中需要根据病变区域对应的影像语义的表达内容再去图库中寻找相应影像的繁琐，提高了查看报告的效率。
生成结构化报告之后，将病变区域和对应的影像语义的表达内容加入到对应的病灶图像库中，作为样本积累，供后续对图像语义表达知识图谱进行更新和补充时使用，这样专家可以在工作过程中完成样本的积累，不需要耗费额外的人力财力专门去进行数据挖掘，提高了结构化报告的使用效率。
在本发明中，以图像语义表达知识图谱结合各类机器学习，尤其深度学习、强化学习进行医疗影像识别，一个好处是可以有计划地深入地累积样本图像，很多图像的标注病灶可以被不断汇集在同一个子标签下。所谓进化，一方面是一种量的积累。同一标签的病灶的样本影像积累越来越多，必然导致深度学习可使用的样本不断增加，因而无论使用CNN、RNN、DNN，或是LSTM等算法，样本的增多一般会导致识别能力的增强，识别敏感度和特异度的提高。这点是显而易见的。 另一方面，越来越多的标注病灶的积累，通过机器学习手段，结合人工的深入研究，可以不断细化病灶的标签标注，进一步丰富影像组学的测度，从而不断细化病灶的影像表现类型。也就是说，原有的病症的属性描述，类型会进一步增加，或者量化描述点会进一步增加。前者，如可能发现空间-密度分布有所不同的MGGO及结节，即增加的新的子类型；后者，如对病灶的边缘，或许会增加新的测度，例如边缘的毛刺度，并且该参数的增加，或许会增强基于CT或MRI的影像，预测病灶恶性程度的精度。
进一步地，结合图像语义表达知识图谱的病灶类型描述，参考已经获得的识别良好的病灶识别模型，本医学影像辅助诊断系统将易于采用迁移学习等手段，快速学习一些新生的或者样本较少的病灶。例如乳腺MRI的肿块及非肿样强化病灶与肺部CT的结节及GGO病灶，有很多空间-密度分布的相似性，然而在具体的参数上又有所不同，这些特点很适合在某个类别或标签的病灶样本不够多时，进行跨域的迁移学习(使用其他有一定影像表现相似性的病灶样本获取的参数模型应用于该病灶样本进行参数调整)，或者Borrowed Strength参数估计。
第二实施例
本发明的第二实施例提供了一种结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法，与上述第一实施例的不同之处在于：
一.在第一实施例的步骤S3中，获取患者医学影像之后，对确定的感兴趣区域从二维影像延伸到三维立体影像或者二维动态影像(随时间变动的类视频影像)，基于感兴趣区域所包含的病灶类型，对感兴趣区域进行定位分析，计算所述感兴趣区域的空间位置，并分割出整体图像的病变区域。
具体地说，在确定感兴趣区域之后，对感兴趣区域进行定位分析，分割出整体图像的病变区域，具体包括如下步骤：
对确定的感兴趣区域进行定位分析，确定感兴趣区域所属的病灶类型；
对确定的感兴趣区域从二维影像延伸到三维立体影像或者二维动态影像，并分割出整体图像的病变区域。
一般而言，考虑到操作的便捷性，用户都是在二维影像截面上进 行初步勾画的。对于二维形式的患者医学影像，进一步从勾画出的感兴趣区域形成对应的矩形区域或者立方体区域(通过CT、MRI等获得)，或者动态影像(通过超声获得)，通过计算感兴趣区域与已知的病灶类型的匹配度，得到可能的病灶或病变区域。
接下来进行定位分析，确定感兴趣区域所属的病灶类型。
对于基于CT或MRI获得的三维影像中的某个感兴趣区域或病灶的标注勾画定位，一般局限于在某个空间截面的二维影像，对于该截面的感兴趣区域进行勾画，基于相似的纹理灰度分布，进一步外推到其前后(上下)的其它相邻的多个二维帧。具体说明如下：
步骤1：基于专家确定的病灶类型，及该病灶类型对应的形状和纹理特征，使用二维影像的灰度值，基于该病灶类型的阈值或纹理等特征进行分割；在某些情况下，并进一步使用二维影像的数学形态学算子或其他分割算子将某些跟器官某部分连接的病灶(例如，连接肺壁的实性结节和连接腺体的肿块，相连的两者的像素灰度及纹理特征很像)进行分割，获得在这个二维子影像(帧)截面的一个或几个对应于这个病灶(即病变区域)的闭合核心病灶区域的主要闭合区域。
闭合核心病灶区域必须满足下述两点：
(1)该闭合核心病灶区域完全包含在所画的感兴趣区域内(不会连向外部)；
(2)该闭合核心病灶区域所占像素数在该感兴趣区域的比例不得低于某个数字(如30％)。
步骤2：基于此主要闭合区域，向该影像的空间序列的上一幅及后一幅延伸，基于该病灶类型的阈值或纹理等特征进行分割；在某些情况下，并进一步使用二维影像的数学形态学算子或其他分割算子将某些跟器官某部分连接的病灶进行分割，获得一个或数个符合病灶类型描述的闭合区域。这些区域中，仅与前述已认定之主要闭合区域在三维上连接(一般按照6-邻域连接处理)的闭环区域，被归并到闭合核心病灶区域。
步骤3：继续上述步骤2的操作，并进行三维空间的数学形态学的闭运算，以滤除掉三维空间与闭合核心病灶区域连接的其他区域(就肿块和结节而言，是一些导管、血管及一些器官腺体)，直到闭合核心 病灶区域不再生长。
步骤4：这样，闭合核心病灶区域边缘被勾画出并进行像素级标注。同时，计算闭合核心病灶区域的边缘像素点坐标中的X、Y、Z轴的最大值及最小值，构成空间的立方体，即包含病变区域的三维立方体区域。
对于基于超声(B超)的动态影像，用户对某个感兴趣区域或病灶的标注勾画定位，一般局限于某个特定时间片段的一个静态影像(在超声中往往是固定于某个点的一个时间片段的扫描图像帧中的某一个或几个帧)。完整的感兴趣区域或病灶的勾画，是基于计算机通过算法(空间相邻、纹理、灰度等)将用户对截面的感兴趣区域的勾画，进一步外推到这个动态影像的其它相邻二维帧。
B超的特点是医生也在不断移动检测仪器的探头，而且检测仪器探头监测的部位的图像中，也有一部分是随时间不断变化的(如心脏、血流)。一般而言，医生操作探头，一般会处于两种状态：快速移动探头，寻找可疑区域状态；基本静止或含轻微滑动，重点关注某个区域内的超声图像随时间的变化(如血流变化)状态。医生一般在后一种状态时，会使用本医学影像辅助诊断系统在主机显示器呈现的动态影像上画出感兴趣区域。本医学影像辅助诊断系统将通过如下步骤，以确定感兴趣区域对应的动态影像的时间序列。具体说明如下：
步骤1：对动态影像中的各帧进行预处理，输出相对固定的人体器官区域，如骨骼、肌肉、心脏核心区域(收缩/舒张共有部分)、肺区域(呼吸共有部分)等，实时获得处理后的动态影像。
步骤2：获得动态影像中的探头位置相对固定的完整观察帧序列，具体实现方法有下述两种：
(1)基于位置移动感应器，确定探头是否在快速移动-寻找感兴趣区域，还是基本静止(含轻微移动)-已经在重点关注某个区域内的图像随时间的变化(如血流变化)，并基于探头位置随时间的变化，直接确定探头位置相对固定的完整的观察帧序列。
(2)基于MPEG4压缩算法中的相邻帧间的预测编码及帧间相关性计算部分算法，实时分析处理后的动态影像(步骤1的输出图像)，确定探头是否在快速移动-寻找感兴趣区域，还是基本静止(含轻微移动) -已经在重点关注某个区域内的图像随时间的变化(如血流变化)，并基于相邻帧及相似场景的分析(这类算法在MPEG4中早已成熟)确定同样场景的完整的观察帧序列。
其中，在该第二实施例中提供的基于MPEG4压缩算法，带有检测场景是否改变的算法模块((包括检测到场景的伸缩变换-即同一场景的细节放大或场景扩张)，场景平移，及场景彻底切换)。医学的动态影像一般主要是场景平移。场景彻底切换较少，一般发生于探头放到人体上和移走时。在此便不在赘述了。
步骤3：基于前述的感兴趣区域及专家确定的病灶类型，以及专家确定感兴趣区域时其所处的观察帧序列，完整获取其所处的完整的观察帧系列。
其中，专家确定感兴趣区域时其所处的帧序列，指专家确定感兴趣区域时，对应的具体一幅或数幅连续的二维图像(帧)。系统将感兴趣区域对应的二维图像或部分二维动态图像系列，在时间上向前后扩展到完整的观察帧系列(整个的探头位置相对固定的时间段)。此时，每一幅被扩展帧的感兴趣区域，可以简单处理，仍被限定于所述的二维感兴趣区域周围；也可以进一步处理，基于原先确定的二维感兴趣区域，及最后专家确定的病灶类型，进行图像分析，在扩展的帧中，重新分割出更精准的病灶部分。
二.根据感兴趣区域和候选病灶选项确定病灶类型；根据病灶类型分割出病变区域，生成与患者医学影像的感兴趣区域相关联的结构化报告，同时将所述病变区域和对应的影像语义的表达内容加入到对应的病灶图像库中。其中，当候选病灶选项均与感兴趣区域不相符时，需要专家手动输入与感兴趣区域对应的影像语义的表达内容，发送给其他专家进行验证，验证通过后，将该病变区域和对应的影像语义的表达内容加入到对应的病灶图像库中。
其中，候选病灶选项均与感兴趣区域不相符包括候选病灶选项中不包含感兴趣区域对应的病灶选项或者病灶选项对感兴趣区域的描述不准确。具体说明如下：
在生成的报告中存在一种可能性，推送的病灶类型存在遗漏，即专家认为报告中记录的所有候选病灶选项均不能准确描述该病变区 域，需手工输入对应的(已知)病灶名称，及对应的一些属性，并插入到报告中。该种可能性尤其存在于系统尚未完备时。
此时，该病灶的属性及其对应的病灶局部影像，将被记录补充到此病灶影像库中，并作为与系统判断不一致的新发现，提交给其他专家进行交叉验证，一旦该新发现被人为确证，则相应的知识(包括病变区域以及对应的影像语义的表达内容)会补充到病灶图像库中，作为新增训练样本加入训练集，当系统定时或不定时更新时，将该新知识补充到图像语义表达知识图谱。如被其他专家证伪，则纠正此专家的手工录入结果，采用系统的识别结果。
在生成的报告中还存在一种可能性，即报告中记录的候选病灶选项存在遗漏，需输入对应的(未知)病灶名称及对应的一些属性，并插入到报告中。该种可能性可能发生在本医学影像辅助诊断系统尚未完备时，也可能发生在新类型病灶发现时。
此时，新类型病灶连同属性及其对应的病灶局部影像，将被记录补充到新增的病灶类型的临时病灶影像库中，并作为新发现病灶，提交给其他专家进行交叉验证，一旦该新发现被人为确证，则相应的知识会补充到图像语义表达知识图谱中，且该病灶影像被补充到对应的病灶影像库，作为新增训练样本加入训练集。如被其他专家证伪，则纠正此专家的手工录入结果，采用本医学影像辅助诊断系统先前的识别结果。
一般而言，本医学影像辅助诊断系统可以等待此类新增样本积累到一定程度时，进行训练。当发现此类样本时，本医学影像辅助诊断系统也可以基于专家对这类新增样本的研究及其他知识，结合GAN-生成对抗网络-生成更多类似样本等，在样本较少时进行学习。第三实施例

其中，病变区域确定模块包括病灶类型确定单元和病变区域确定单元。其中，病灶类型确定单元用于根据感兴趣区域确定模块传送的感兴趣区域，在候选病灶选项生成模块提供的候选病灶选项中确定病灶类型；病变区域确定单元用于对感兴趣区域确定模块传送的感兴趣区域进行定位分析，分割出病变区域，根据知识图谱建立模块传送的图像语义表达知识图谱确定病变区域对应的病灶选项，进而确定病变类型。
综上所述，本发明所提供的结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法以图像语义表达知识图谱结合各类机器学习，进行医疗影像识别，可以有计划地深入地累积样本图像，并不断完善图像语义表达知识图谱，使很多图像的标注病灶被不断汇集在同一个子标签下。另一方面，随着同一标签的病灶的样本影像积累越来越多，导致深度学习可使用的样本不断增加，样本的增多一般会导致识别能力的增强，识别敏感度和特异度的提高。除此之外，越来越多的标注病灶的积累，通过机器学习手段，结合人工的深入研究，可以不断细化病灶的标签标注，进一步丰富影像组学的测度，从而不断细化病灶的影像表现类型，增强医学影像的辅助诊断能力。
上面对本发明所提供的结合影像识别与报告编辑的医学影像辅助诊断方法及系统进行了详细的说明。对本领域的一般技术人员而言，在不背离本发明实质精神的前提下对它所做的任何显而易见的改动，都将构成对本发明专利权的侵犯，将承担相应的法律责任。
