Description

Detection method for indicating card in surgical instrument package

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical instrument sterilization detection, in particular to a method for detecting an indicator card in a surgical instrument bag.

Background

In the disinfection and sterilization monitoring process of hospitals, an indicator card, such as a 3M chemical indicator card, is usually used to determine whether the sterilization operation is up to standard. As shown in fig. 1, the indicator card generally includes an indicator area and a contrasting color area, and when the sterilization operation reaches a standard, the indicator area changes to the same color as the contrasting color area, and if the sterilization operation does not reach the standard, the indicator area cannot normally change color.

For hospital surgical instruments, an indicator card is placed on the surface of the surgical instrument before the surgical instrument is placed in a surgical instrument bag and then sterilized, and then the surgical instrument is packaged and sterilized in a whole bag. However, in the actual operation process, the operator may forget to place the indication card in the surgical instrument package, and after entering the surgical link, if the operator does not find the indication card, the operator cannot confirm whether the surgical instrument package is sterilized and whether the sterilization reaches the standard. If the surgical kit is still used on the patient, there is a risk of infection; if the surgical instrument kit is not used and the sterilization operation is performed again, it takes time, and placing the anesthetized patient in the operating table to wait for sterilization is a serious problem.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a solution that can detect whether an indicator card is present in a surgical kit and whether the indicator card changes color normally without opening the surgical kit, so as to solve the above problems.

The method specifically comprises the following steps: the X-ray detector and the X-ray detector are arranged oppositely, thesurgical instrument package 400 is arranged between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector, the X-ray source emits X-rays to irradiate thesurgical instrument package 400, the X-rays are attenuated by thesurgical instrument package 400 and then received by the X-ray detector, the X-ray detector converts the received X-rays into digital signals and transmits the digital signals to an upper computer device, and the upper computer device is used for generating X-ray images and processing and analyzing the X-ray images.

S102, segmenting the X-ray image to obtain the outlines of all objects (including a plurality ofsurgical instruments 300 and possibly existing indicator cards 200) in thesurgical instrument package 400, comparing the X-ray image with a reference image, judging whether theindicator cards 200 exist in thesurgical instrument package 400, and if so, entering the step S103 to further judge whether theindicator cards 200 normally change color; if not, the procedure proceeds to step S106 to end the current detection procedure, so as to place theindicator card 200 in thesurgical kit 400 again for sterilization. The reference image is an X-ray image corresponding to thesurgical instrument package 400 when theindicator card 200 is placed. One X-ray image contains a plurality of differentsurgical instruments 300 and possibly indicatingcards 200, and the X-ray image is subjected to image preprocessing by a host computer device and then the outlines of various objects contained in the X-ray image are obtained in a deep learning mode (in the prior art), so that comparison analysis between the X-ray image and a reference image is performed.

S103, acquiring the position of theindicator card 200 in the X-ray image, and acquiring the actual position of theindicator card 200 in thesurgical instrument package 400 according to the position of theindicator card 200 in the X-ray image. Specifically, the upper computer device obtains the position of theindicator card 200 in the X-ray image by using a deep learning method, and how to obtain the position of theindicator card 200 in the X-ray image by using the deep learning method and how to obtain the actual position of theindicator card 200 in thesurgical kit 400 according to the position of theindicator card 200 in the X-ray image can be implemented by using the prior art, which is not described herein again.

And S104, illuminating the actual position of theindicator card 200 by using an illuminating light source to obtain a spectrogram of theindicator card 200. The method specifically comprises the following steps: a light source receiving device (such as a camera) is arranged to receive the spectrum, and then the spectrum is processed and analyzed by a computer to obtain a spectrogram of the indicator card 200 (prior art).

And S105, comparing the spectrogram with a reference spectrum, wherein the reference spectrum is the spectrogram corresponding to theindicator card 200 when theindicator area 201 of theindicator card 200 normally changes color, and judging whether theindicator area 201 of theindicator card 200 normally changes color according to the comparison result. Because different colors have different absorption and reflection capacities for different light waves, the principle is utilized to judge whether theindicator area 201 of theindicator card 200 changes color normally, and the judgment result is accurate and reliable. How to compare the spectrogram with the reference spectrum can be realized by the prior art, and details are not repeated herein.

And S106, ending the detection program. No matter whether theindicator area 201 of theindicator card 200 normally changes color is determined in step S105, the procedure is entered to end the current detection procedure, except that if theindicator area 201 of theindicator card 200 normally changes color, thesurgical instrument package 400 may be directly applied to a subsequent operation, and if theindicator area 201 of theindicator card 200 does not normally change color, thesurgical instrument package 400 needs to be sterilized again, and at this time, the corresponding alarm device may be configured to send an alarm signal to remind a worker.

Theindicator area 201 and thecontrasting color area 202 have a separation distance, and accordingly, the spectrogram comprises a first spectral region and a second spectral region of the separation distance, the reference spectrum comprises a third spectral region and a fourth spectral region of the separation distance, the first spectral region and the third spectral region correspond to the indicator color change area of theindicator card 200, and the second spectral region and the fourth spectral region correspond to thecontrasting color area 202 of theindicator card 200.

In step S105, when the comparison result between the spectrogram and the reference spectrum indicates that the similarity between two spectral regions in the spectrogram and the third/fourth spectral region in the reference spectrum reaches a preset threshold (set according to specific conditions), it is determined that theindicator region 201 of theindicator card 200 has changed color normally, otherwise, it is determined that theindicator region 201 of theindicator card 200 has not changed color normally.
