Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments of the present application, and it should be understood that the present application is not limited by the example embodiments described herein.
Traditional imaging examinations, such as molybdenum targets, ultrasound, CT and conventional MRI scans, focus mainly on the anatomical aspects of lymph nodes, such as the minor diameter of lymph nodes, but these morphological changes may lag behind the histological changes, resulting in failure to detect metastasis early. In addition, although fine needle penetration under ultrasound guidance can increase the preoperative diagnostic rate, this approach is invasive and there is still a high false negative rate in combination with clinical studies and various imaging examinations. Moreover, the traditional breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis state analysis mode usually only depends on the experience of doctors and a small amount of image features to analyze, detailed information about tissue microvascular perfusion and cell density cannot be provided, and the mode is greatly influenced by subjective judgment and experience of the doctors, is easy to generate individual difference and lacks objectivity and standardization. In view of the above technical problems, in the technical solution of the present application, an analysis system for the metastasis state of axillary lymph nodes of breast cancer based on ultrasound contrast images is provided, which can diagnose and evaluate whether the axillary lymph nodes of breast cancer patients metastasize by using ultrasound contrast technology (CEUS).
It should be understood that the ultrasound imaging technique is a non-invasive examination method that uses microbubbles as a contrast agent, and observes the distribution and dynamic changes of microbubbles in tissue by the ultrasound imaging technique, thereby obtaining information such as tissue blood flow perfusion and cell density. The principle is that microbubbles vibrate in an ultrasonic field to generate echo enhancement, so that the microvascular structure and the hemodynamics are more clearly visible, and the diagnosis and the state analysis of breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis are assisted. CEUS is able to more sensitively detect minor changes in axillary lymph nodes, such as blood flow distribution and microvascular perfusion, than conventional ultrasound, thereby aiding in the diagnosis of breast axillary lymph node metastasis. By observing the perfusion pattern, degree of enhancement, and time characteristics of microbubbles in the lymph nodes, the clinician can be provided with more clues about the metastatic status of the lymph nodes.
In particular, CEUS characteristics are closely related to breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis, and a number of parameters including peripheral areola, blood flow classification, perfusion order, etc. are all related to metastasis. In addition, in combination with ultrasonic multiparameter evaluation, prediction of breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis can be better aided. For example, parameters such as maximum diameter of lesions, lesion location, enhancement of anterior fat echo, etc. have been shown to be independent risk factors for predicting breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis.
In the technical scheme of the application, a breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis state analysis system based on ultrasonic radiography images is provided. Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis status analysis system based on ultrasound contrast images in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 2 is a data flow diagram of an ultrasound contrast image based breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis status analysis system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis status analysis system based on an ultrasound contrast image according to an embodiment of the present application includes: an ultrasound contrast image acquisition module 310 for acquiring ultrasound contrast images of breast cancer; the ultrasound contrast image statistical feature extraction module 320 is configured to extract HOG features and LBP features of the ultrasound contrast image of breast cancer to obtain an ultrasound contrast HOG feature vector of breast cancer and an ultrasound contrast LBP feature vector of breast cancer; the breast cancer ultrasound contrast multi-mode statistical feature fusion module 330 is configured to input the breast cancer ultrasound contrast LBP feature vector and the breast cancer ultrasound contrast HOG feature vector into a feature vector dynamic interaction fusion module based on gating response to obtain a breast cancer ultrasound contrast multi-mode gating interaction fusion vector; the ultrasound contrast image implicit feature extraction optimizing module 340 is configured to perform image feature extraction on the breast cancer ultrasound contrast image, and input the image feature extraction to the compression-suppression optimizing module based on feature attention selection to obtain an optimized breast cancer ultrasound contrast feature map; the cross-domain joint coding module 350 for the multi-modal feature of the breast cancer ultrasound imaging is used for inputting the optimized breast cancer ultrasound imaging feature map and the cross-domain joint coder based on the meta-network to obtain a breast cancer ultrasound imaging modulation feature map under the constraint of statistical features; the transition state analysis module 360 is configured to determine a transition state analysis result based on the ultrasound contrast modulation feature map of breast cancer under the statistical feature constraint, where the transition state analysis result is used to indicate whether the probability of occurrence of transition exceeds a preset threshold.
In particular, the ultrasound contrast image acquisition module 310 and the ultrasound contrast image statistics feature extraction module 320 are configured to acquire an ultrasound contrast image of breast cancer; and extracting HOG features and LBP features of the breast cancer ultrasonic radiography images to obtain breast cancer ultrasonic radiography HOG feature vectors and breast cancer ultrasonic radiography LBP feature vectors. It will be appreciated that texture and statistical features in the image play an important role in the analysis of breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis status, and can help identify and analyze the blood flow patterns of tumor areas, which is important for distinguishing benign and malignant lymph nodes and for performing breast axillary lymph node metastasis status analysis. Based on the above, in the technical scheme of the application, HOG features of the breast cancer ultrasound contrast image are extracted based on the directional gradient histogram to obtain a breast cancer ultrasound contrast HOG feature vector; and extracting LBP characteristics of the breast cancer ultrasonic radiography image based on an LBP mode operator to obtain a breast cancer ultrasonic radiography LBP characteristic vector. It should be appreciated that HOG is an algorithm that describes local features of an image, by counting the direction and intensity of pixel gradients in the image, to generate feature descriptors. The HOG features can capture gradient information in different directions in the image, are helpful for distinguishing texture and shape features of different areas, and have better expression capability for microstructure in breast cancer ultrasound contrast images. In addition, HOG features can effectively describe edge information in images, and play an important role in describing structural features and texture information in breast cancer ultrasound contrast images, which helps to distinguish between tumor and normal tissue.
