Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an automatic organ program selection method, a storage medium, and an X-ray medical device. According to an implementation, an automatic organ program selection method for X-ray imaging comprises: acquiring an image of a person to be detected; performing organ detection based on the image of the person to be detected, so as to determine an organ to be detected; providing organ programs to be selected that correspond to the organ to be detected; and determining an organ program for the organ to be detected so as to perform X-ray imaging. The present disclosure can greatly reduce the time for setting a system, and reduce the impact of patient movement on determination of an organ program, thereby improving examination efficiency.

Claims (33)

1. An automatic organ program selection method for X-ray imaging, comprising:

acquiring, via one or more processors, an image of a person to be detected;

performing, via the one or more processors, organ detection based on the image of the person to be detected to determine an organ to be detected by (i) performing a preliminary determination of organs to be detected using a trained algorithm model and based on information of organs in the image of the person to be detected, and (ii) determining the organ to be detected from the preliminarily determined organs based on a predetermined condition;

providing, via the one or more processors, organ programs to be selected that correspond to the organ to be detected; and

determining, via the one or more processors, an organ program for the organ to be detected to perform X-ray imaging,

wherein the predetermined condition comprises:

if there is one preliminarily determined organ, determining the preliminarily determined organ as the organ to be detected; and

if there are a plurality of preliminarily determined organs, determining an organ from among the preliminarily determined organs that is closer to a center of an X-ray beam as the organ to be detected.

2. The automatic organ program selection method for X-ray imaging of claim 1 , wherein the organ detection is performed in real time.

3. The automatic organ program selection method for X-ray imaging of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing motion detection on the person to be detected, and

wherein the performing the organ detection comprises performing the organ detection when the person to be detected is not in motion based upon the motion detection.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform an automatic organ program selection for X-ray imaging by:

acquiring an image of a person to be detected;

performing organ detection based on the image of the person to be detected to determine an organ to be detected by (i) performing a preliminary determination of organs to be detected using a trained algorithm model and based on information of organs in the image of the person to be detected, and (ii) determining the organ to be detected from the preliminarily determined organs based on a predetermined condition;

providing organ programs to be selected that correspond to the organ to be detected; and

determining an organ program for the organ to be detected to perform X-ray imaging,

wherein the predetermined condition comprises:

if there is one preliminarily determined organ, determining the preliminarily determined organ as the organ to be detected; and

if there are a plurality of preliminarily determined organs, determining an organ from among the preliminarily determined organs that is closer to a center of an X-ray beam as the organ to be detected.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 4 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the organ detection in real time.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform motion detection on the person to be detected, and to perform the organ detection when the person to be detected is not in motion based upon the motion detection.

7. An X-ray medical device, comprising:

photographing circuitry configured to acquire an image of a person to be detected; and

control circuitry configured to:

perform organ detection based on the image of the person to be detected to determine an organ to be detected by (i) performing a preliminary determination of organs to be detected by using a trained algorithm model and based on information of organs in the image of the person to be detected, and (ii) determining the organ to be detected from the preliminarily determined organs based on a predetermined condition;

provide organ programs to be selected that correspond to the organ to be detected; and

determine an organ program for the organ to be detected to perform X-ray imaging,

wherein the predetermined condition comprises:

if there is one preliminarily determined organ, determining the preliminarily determined organ as the organ to be detected; and

if there are a plurality preliminarily determined organs, determining an organ from among the preliminarily determined organs that is closer to a center of an X-ray beam as the organ to be detected.

8. The X-ray medical device of claim 7 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to perform the organ detection in real time.

9. The X-ray medical device of claim 7 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to perform motion detection on the person to be detected, and to perform the organ detection when the person to be detected is not in motion based upon the motion detection.
