Automated angular measurement for puncture angle using a computer-aided method in ultrasound-guided peripheral insertion
Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine - Trang 1-11 - 2024
Tóm tắt
Ultrasound guidance has become the gold standard for obtaining vascular access. Angle information, which indicates the entry angle of the needle into the vein, is required to ensure puncture success. Although various image processing-based methods, such as deep learning, have recently been applied to improve needle visibility, these methods have limitations, in that the puncture angle to the target organ is not measured. We aim to detect the target vessel and puncture needle and to derive the puncture angle by combining deep learning and conventional image processing methods such as the Hough transform. Median cubital vein US images were obtained from 20 healthy volunteers, and images of simulated blood vessels and needles were obtained during the puncture of a simulated blood vessel in four phantoms. The U-Net architecture was used to segment images of blood vessels and needles, and various image processing methods were employed to automatically measure angles. The experimental results indicated that the mean dice coefficients of median cubital veins, simulated blood vessels, and needles were 0.826, 0.931, and 0.773, respectively. The quantitative results of angular measurement showed good agreement between the expert and automatic measurements of the puncture angle with 0.847 correlations. Our findings indicate that the proposed method achieves extremely high segmentation accuracy and automated angular measurements. The proposed method reduces the variability and time required in manual angle measurements and presents the possibility where the operator can concentrate on delicate techniques related to the direction of the needle.
