Arterial plaque identification method and system based on ultrasonic scanning video

Abstract

The invention provides an artery plaque identification method and system based on an ultrasonic scanning video, and relates to the technical field of medical image processing, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining an ultrasonic scanning video, and extracting continuous multi-frame ultrasonic scanning images from the ultrasonic scanning video; respectively carrying out artery plaque identification on each ultrasonic scanning image to obtain a corresponding image identification result; and processing each image recognition result to obtain an artery plaque recognition result of the ultrasonic scanning video. The method has the beneficial effects that artery plaque recognition is carried out based on continuous multi-frame ultrasonic scanning images in an ultrasonic scanning video, dynamic image information of continuous frames can be captured, further missing artery plaques and artery plaques which are difficult to recognize in a single ultrasonic scanning image can be well detected, the recognition rate is increased, and the recognition efficiency is improved. The false positive detection rate is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical image processing, in particular to a method and system for identifying arterial plaques based on ultrasonic scanning video. Background technique [0002] Arterial plaque refers to a certain part of an artery in which arteriosclerosis and lipid deposition appear in the wall of the blood vessel. With the prolongation of time, arterial plaque will slowly grow in the artery, resulting in the gradual narrowing of the lumen of the blood vessel, and symptoms of insufficient blood supply will appear. Carotid artery plaque will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, coronary atherosclerosis Sclerosis can cause myocardial ischemia and cause angina pectoris. What's more serious is that as the plaque gradually becomes larger, the plaque will rupture, and then flow along our blood vessels to all parts of the body. Wherever it flows, it will be blocked. Wherever it goes, once it is blocked, what we call...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Because the ultrasound image itself has a lot of noise and artifacts, even doctors need to check the video repeatedly in the process of diagnosis, so the processing method based on a single image does not take into account the differences between different frames , unable to capture dynamic information, will lead to low recognition rate and high false positives, resulting in misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, it is difficult or impossible to meet the needs
