Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the existing scanning machines will produce radiation to the human body, which is not conducive to the health of the human body, especially teenagers, and the three-dimensional machines are usually expensive and not suitable for popularization; manual calibration of the vertebral body position is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has a very strong Subjectivity, everyone has different standards, resulting in different results and different levels; many image processing methods, such as edge detection, are easily disturbed by image noise

Abstract

The invention provides a device and system for measuring spinal curvature, wherein the device comprises a measuring device body, a processor, a memory and a display, wherein the display, the processorand the memory are respectively connected with the measuring device body, and the display and the memory are respectively connected with the processor; the memory is used for acquiring an image of the spine to be detected; the processor inputs the image into a pre-trained neural network model to acquire a connecting line response diagram used for representing the positions of the upper line and lower line of each spinal body and the coordinate positions of all corner points; the processor acquires a first connecting diagram and a second connecting diagram based on the coordinate positions ofall the corner points; the processor acquires a real upper line and real lower line of each spinal body based on the connecting line response diagram, the first connecting graph, the second connectinggraph and a global optimal criterion; the processor acquires and sends the Cobb angle values of the spine to be detected to the display for display based on the real upper line and real lower line ofeach spine body, so that the measurement precision is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a device and system for measuring spinal curvature. Background technique [0002] Spinal curvature not only affects the appearance, but also has a certain impact on the patient's physical and mental health and cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, a spinal curvature measurement method and device are needed to measure the degree of curvature of the spine in time. There are two current technology solutions: [0003] 1. Obtain spine images through complex 3D whole-body scanning machines, and calculate cobb angle and other parameters [0004] The scanning machine generates radiation to the human body to obtain images of the spine, or 3D reconstruction, and calculates the inclination of each vertebra through computer processing to calculate the Cobb angle. [0005] 2. Calculate cobb angle and other parameters through artificial assistance combined with image processin...
