Ultrasound-elastic-image-assisted diagnosis of pulmonary nodules based on genetic algorithm

Research on Lung Ultrasound Image Classification Based on Compressed Sensing

Pneumothorax is a common injury in disaster rescue, traffic accidents, and war trauma environments and requires early diagnosis and treatment. The commonly used X-ray, CT, and other diagnostic instruments are not suitable for rescue sites due to their large size, heavy weight, and difficulty in transportation. Ultrasound equipment is easy to carry and suitable for rescue environments. However, ultrasound images are noisy, have low resolution, and are difficult to get started, which affects the efficiency of diagnosis. This paper studies the effect of lung ultrasound image recognition and classification based on compressed sensing and BP neural network. We use ultrasound equipment to build a lung simulation model, collect five typical features of lung ultrasound images in M-mode, and build a dataset. Using compressed sensing theory, we design sparse matrix and observation matrix and perform data compression on the image data in the dataset to obtain observation values. We design a BP neural network, input the observations into the network for training, and compare it with the commonly used VGG16 network. The method proposed in this paper has higher recognition accuracy and significantly fewer parameters than VGG16, so it is suitable for use in embedded devices.
