Woman breast health assessment method based on infrared medical image

Abstract

The invention relates to a woman breast health assessment method based on infrared medical images. The method comprises: using an infrared lens to acquire human body infrared waves; using an infrared thermal imaging device to measure temperature of left and right breasts, left and right mammary areolas, positions under left and right breasts, left and right armpits, and left and right adnexa regions; respectively calculating the difference values of the average temperature of the ten measured regions and the average temperature of a whole body; subtracting the difference values of average temperature of the left and right corresponding regions and the average temperature of the whole body, comparing the obtained temperature difference values of the left and right corresponding regions with a temperature threshold, if the temperature difference value is larger than the temperature threshold, prompting that a left region has high-risk lesion trend; otherwise, determining whether a vascular type heat source appears in the left corresponding region, if the vascular type heat source appears, prompting that the left region has high-risk lesion trend; otherwise, respectively establishing rectangular coordinate systems with left papilla and right papilla as centers, according to a maximum value and a minimum value of average temperature in four quadrants of the left breast and the right breast, analyzing to obtain an assessment result of breast health.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of application of infrared medical images, and in particular relates to a method for assessing the health of female breasts based on infrared medical images. Background technique [0002] Infrared waves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between microwaves and visible light, with a wavelength range of 0.75-1000 microns. Among them, infrared waves with a wavelength of 0.75-3 microns are near-infrared waves, infrared waves with a wavelength of 3-6 microns are mid-infrared waves, infrared waves with a wavelength of 6-15 microns are far-infrared waves, and infrared waves with a wavelength of 15-1000 microns The infrared waves are extremely far infrared waves. The infrared wave of the human body is one of the energy waves produced by the metabolism of skin surface tissue, which only exists on the skin surface. [0003] In the past 30 years, the far-infrared imaging technology used to analyze and monitor...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the fact that near-infrared rays are greatly affected by the environment, the inspection results are relatively insensitive, so the application of near-infrared opacification technology has shrunk.

In addition, far-infrared thermal imaging technology is limited by infrared thermal imaging equipment, so it cannot accurately determine the temperature of the measured area, and the system error is large, which is not enough to meet the clinical needs of medicine, so the research progress is slow

Although Professor Hu Yongsheng has conducted detailed research on the application of far infrared in breast diseases, the fineness of infrared thermal imaging equipment is not enough to make the research results directly applicable to clinics. Therefore, when using infrared breast imaging results to diagnose breast diseases , the false positive rate in the results is still higher than the expected value, resulting in many restrictions on the application of infrared waves in medicine
