Description

Electrical impedance image reconstruction method based on depth image prior
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrical impedance tomography, in particular to an electrical impedance image reconstruction method based on depth image prior, electronic equipment and a storage medium.
Background
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a functional imaging technique that reconstructs two-dimensional or three-dimensional Electrical impedance distribution images in the human body by applying a tiny safe excitation current (voltage) to the body surface and measuring the corresponding response voltage (current) with electrodes placed on the body surface. Due to the advantages of no damage, no radiation, low cost, portability and the like, the technology is widely concerned and applied in the fields of medicine, industry, geophysical and the like.
However, due to the nonlinear and highly ill-posed nature of EIT inversion reconstruction, EIT images suffer from low spatial resolution, poor contrast, and the like. Therefore, the research and development of the EIT system and the inversion algorithm with high precision and stable performance, the improvement of the imaging quality and the exploration of the application of the EIT system and the inversion algorithm in the clinical medicine and non-medical fields are the current hot and difficult problems.
With the rapid development of computer technology and the continuous improvement of computational power level in recent years, machine learning algorithms are widely applied to the fields of computer vision, image and voice recognition and the like, and a series of research results are obtained. In the field of medical Imaging, a great deal of research work has been performed in recent years on processing and reconstructing Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images by using a machine learning algorithm. Meanwhile, methods for reconstructing images by using convolutional neural networks, LeNet networks, U-net networks and the like appear in the EIT field, and the methods fit data to images or nonlinear relations between the images through training data. Compared with the traditional EIT method, the EIT method based on machine learning has the advantages that the prior information is flexibly introduced through training data, the imaging speed is high after model training is finished, and the like, and meanwhile, the resolution of a reconstructed image is also improved. However, accurate images of the distribution of the electrical impedance inside the human body are usually difficult to obtain, and the number of training sets is limited, which has a great influence on the accuracy and generalization capability of the training model.

For the area needing image reconstruction, analyzing according to a Finite Element Method (FEM), and establishing an FEM model to solve corresponding calculated voltage and a Jacobian matrix. Since the conductivity is generally defined on a triangular mesh, and the output of the deep convolutional neural network is a rectangular mesh, a transformation operation, i.e., a mapping transformation described in operation S110, is required between the output of the deep convolutional neural network and the conductivity data.
The output of the deep convolutional neural network is used as a conductivity distribution image, so that the conductivity distribution is parameterized.

In operation S230, a gradient of an output image of the deep convolutional neural network with respect to a parameter of the deep convolutional neural network is calculated using an inverse transmission method, and the gradient and a gradient of the loss function with respect to the conductivity are calculated to obtain a gradient of the loss function with respect to the deep convolutional neural network.
In operation S240, an iteration direction is calculated using an optimization algorithm according to a gradient of the loss function with respect to the deep convolutional neural network.
In operation S250, parameters of the deep convolutional neural network are updated according to the iteration direction and the preset learning rate, and a new conductivity distribution and a calculated voltage value are obtained using the updated deep convolutional neural network.
The operation utilizes a back propagation method to calculate the gradient of the neural network output relative to the neural network parameters, and the gradient of the loss function relative to the neural network parameters is obtained by combining the gradient of the loss function relative to the conductivity, so that the method is used for calculating the iteration direction by the Adam/ADMM method; at the same time, the parameters of the neural network are updated according to the iteration direction and the predetermined learning rate, a new conductivity distribution is calculated, and a voltage value is calculated.
In operation S260, when the number of iterations satisfies a preset condition, a parameter-optimized deep convolutional neural network is obtained.
Determining whether a termination condition (which may be set here to a number of iterations greater than some given value) is satisfied: if yes, terminating, and reconstructing the image; if not, continuing the iteration.
According to the method, the parameters of the deep convolutional neural network are optimized by utilizing an optimization algorithm according to the loss value, so that the parameters with higher precision can be obtained, and the deep convolutional neural network is ensured to obtain the electrical impedance reconstruction image with high imaging precision and spatial resolution in the subsequent image reconstruction process.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the optimization algorithm comprises an alternating direction multiplier method and a random optimization method of adaptive momentum.
The Alternating Direction Multiplier Method (ADMM) can avoid the problem of gradient disappearance in the parameter optimization process of the deep convolutional neural network, and has strong expansibility; the adaptive momentum random optimization method (Adam) can more efficiently utilize gradient information and realize efficient optimization of parameters of the deep convolutional neural network.
