To provide a reference for finding a reasonable evaluation method for treatment effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), computed tomography (CT) image optimized by the intelligent segmentation algorithm was utilized to evaluate the liver condition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after RFA and to estimate the patient’s prognosis. Eighty-eight patients with HCC who needed RFA surgery after diagnosis in our hospital were selected. The CT images before optimization were set as the control group; the CT images after optimization were set as the observation group. Comprehensive diagnosis was taken as the gold standard to compare the ablation range and residual lesions under CT scans before and after surgery. The results showed that the consistency of the two sets of CT images was compared with comprehensive diagnosis under different diameters of the lesion. The difference between the two groups was not statistically considerable when the diameter of the lesion was less than 50 mm ( P > 0.05 ). For lesions larger than 50 mm in diameter, the consistency of the observation group (83%) was remarkably higher than that of the control group (40%), and the difference was substantial ( P < 0.05 ). The kappa value of the observation group was 0.84 and that of the control group was 0.78. The kappa value of observation group was better than the control group, with considerable difference ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, the diagnostic effect of CT image based on intelligent segmentation algorithm was superior to conventional diagnosis when the diameter of the lesion was larger than 50 mm. Moreover, the overall improvement rate of patients after RFA treatment was far greater than the recurrence rate, indicating that the clinical adoption of RFA was very meaningful.

Image Segmentation Algorithm

This study aimed to detect and diagnose the lung nodules as early as possible to effectively treat them, thereby reducing the burden on the medical system and patients. A lung computed tomography (CT) image segmentation algorithm was constructed based on the deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN). The clinical data of 69 patients with lung nodules diagnosed by needle biopsy and pathological comprehensive diagnosis at hospital were collected for specific analysis. The CT image segmentation algorithm was used to distinguish the nature and volume of lung nodules and compared with other computer aided design (CAD) software (Philips ISP). 69 patients with lung nodules were treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The results showed that the diagnostic sensitivity of the CT image segmentation algorithm based on the CNN was obviously higher than that of the Philips ISP for solid nodules <5 mm (63 cases vs. 33 cases) ( P < 0.05 ); it was the same result for the subsolid nodule <5 mm (33 case vs. 5 cases) ( P < 0.05 ) that was slightly higher for solid and subsolid nodules with a diameter of 5–10 mm (37 cases vs. 28 cases) ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, the CNN algorithm can reach all detection for calcified nodules and pleural nodules (7 cases; 5 cases), and the diagnostic sensitivities were much better than those of Philips ISP (2 cases; 3 cases) ( P < 0.05 ). Patients with pulmonary nodules treated by RFA were in good postoperative condition, with a half-year survival rate of 100% and a one-year survival rate of 72.4%. Therefore, it could be concluded that the CT image segmentation algorithm based on the CNN could effectively detect and diagnose the lung nodules early, and the RFA could effectively treat the lung nodules.

High Intestinal Obstruction

In this study, CT image technology based on level set intelligent segmentation algorithm was used to evaluate the postoperative enteral nutrition of neonatal high intestinal obstruction and analyze the clinical treatment effect of high intestinal obstruction, so as to provide a reasonable research basis for the clinical application of neonatal high intestinal obstruction. 60 children with high intestinal obstruction treated in the hospital were selected as the research objects. Based on the postoperative enteral nutrition treatment, they were divided into control group (noncatheterization group)-parenteral nutrition support. In the observation group, gastric tube was placed through nose for nutritional support. Then, CT images based on level set segmentation algorithm were used to compare the intestinal recovery of the two groups, and the biochemical indexes and hospitalization were compared. The level set algorithm can accurately segment the lesions in CT images. The segmentation time of the level set algorithm was shorter than that of the traditional algorithm (24.34 ± 2.01 s vs. 75.21 ± 5.91 s), and the segmentation accuracy was higher than that of the traditional algorithm (84.71 ± 3.91% vs. 70.04 ± 3.71%, P  < 0.05). The weight of children in the observation group (100 ± 7 g) was higher than that in the control group (54 ± 5 g), and the ICU monitoring time (12.01 ± 2.65 days) and the hospital stay (17.82 ± 3.11 days) were shorter than those in the control group (13.42 ± 2.95 days, 19.13 ± 3.22 days, all P  < 0.05). The level set segmentation algorithm can accurately segment the CT image, so that the disease location and its contour can be displayed more clearly. Moreover, the nasal placement of jejunal nutrition tube can effectively improve the intestinal function of children, maintain the steady-state environment of intestinal bacterial growth, and significantly improve the clinical treatment effect, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.

As one of the most commonly ordered imaging tests, the computed tomography (CT) scan comes with inevitable radiation exposure that increases cancer risk to patients. However, CT image quality is directly related to radiation dose, and thus it is desirable to obtain high-quality CT images with as little dose as possible. CT image denoising tries to obtain high-dose-like high-quality CT images (domain Y ) from low dose low-quality CT images (domain X ), which can be treated as an image-to-image translation task where the goal is to learn the transform between a source domain X (noisy images) and a target domain Y (clean images). Recently, the cycle-consistent adversarial denoising network (CCADN) has achieved state-of-the-art results by enforcing cycle-consistent loss without the need of paired training data, since the paired data is hard to collect due to patients’ interests and cardiac motion. However, out of concerns on patients’ privacy and data security, protocols typically require clinics to perform medical image processing tasks including CT image denoising locally (i.e., edge denoising). Therefore, the network models need to achieve high performance under various computation resource constraints including memory and performance. Our detailed analysis of CCADN raises a number of interesting questions that point to potential ways to further improve its performance using the same or even fewer computation resources. For example, if the noise is large leading to a significant difference between domain X and domain Y , can we bridge X and Y with a intermediate domain Z such that both the denoising process between X and Z and that between Z and Y are easier to learn? As such intermediate domains lead to multiple cycles, how do we best enforce cycle- consistency? Driven by these questions, we propose a multi-cycle-consistent adversarial network (MCCAN) that builds intermediate domains and enforces both local and global cycle-consistency for edge denoising of CT images. The global cycle-consistency couples all generators together to model the whole denoising process, whereas the local cycle-consistency imposes effective supervision on the process between adjacent domains. Experiments show that both local and global cycle-consistency are important for the success of MCCAN, which outperforms CCADN in terms of denoising quality with slightly less computation resource consumption.

To study on the clinical efficacy of the repairing of the toe defect of the tip of the toe artery with skin flap. 48 patients with tip of toe defects who were admitted to our department from May 2014 to December 2015 were randomly divided into two groups: control group and observation group, 24 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with abdominal pedicle flap while the patients in the observation group were treated with the toe artery skin flap for repair. The clinical curative effect of the two groups was analyzed. The total effective rate of clinical treatment was 23 (95.83%) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, 19 (79.16%), and the elasticity and texture of the flap were good and no obvious adverse reaction occurred. The difference between the two groups was significant, p<0.05. The use of the toe artery skin flap for the treatment of the tip of toe defect has a significant clinical effect, and no serious adverse reactions occurred, highly safety.15To explore the clinical application of three-row stapler in the operation of gastric cancer, and to provide a reference for clinical application. 31 patients with gastric cancer from January 2015 to April 2017 were randomly divided into observational group and control group. The observational group (n = 16) received three rows of the stapler; the control group (n = 15) received two rows of the stapler. The general condition, complication and anastomotic condition of the two groups were recorded, and the occurrence of anastomotic leakage was tested by methylene blue test. There was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups ( P> 0.05). The length of stay in the hospital for the observational group was (16.17 ± 5.25) d, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (22.35 ± 7.18) d, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications was 7.14%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (26.67%, P < 0.05). The number of bleeding in the anastomosis of the observational group was (0.87 ± 0.61), and the number of the outermost anastomosis was 0.95 ± 0.49, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). In the observational group, only one case (6.28%) was positive in the methylene blue test, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (20%) (P < 0.05). Three-row stapler can be used to treat the traditional two-row nail stapler, and no external reinforcement is needed after anastomosis. At the same time, it can effectively control the anastomotic bleeding, outer ring nail exposure and anastomotic leakage complications occur and clinical hospital stays shorter, more efficient treatment, worthy of clinical application.
