Title: Application of a course learning strategy based on structural prior and Ebbinghaus forgetting curve for ultrasound gallbladder lesion classification
Introduction: In ultrasound images, traditional deep learning models face challenges in classifying gallbladder lesions due to the high similarity in texture features between gallbladder tissue and surrounding soft tissue. To address this issue, this paper proposes a curriculum learning and training strategy that combines structural priors and Ebbinghaus forgetting curves. Inspired by the development of human visual acuity, we use the Relative Total Variance (RTV) method to extract structural priors from images, replacing traditional Gaussian blur processing, to more effectively separate texture and structural information, guiding the model to focus on key anatomical structural features. At the same time, a course learning strategy was designed based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to optimize the learning process of the model and enhance its ability to remember and discriminate key features. The experimental results show that this method has achieved significant results in improving the accuracy and robustness of gallbladder lesion classification, providing strong support for automatic diagnosis of ultrasound images.

Introduction: This project aims to develop advanced techniques for the reconstruction of three-dimensional rock fracture models based on extracted information from real fracture characteristics. By integrating statistical analysis, numerical simulation, and advanced imaging techniques, we strive to create realistic fracture models that can accurately represent the spatial distribution, aperture variation, and morphological features of natural fractures. The research focuses on several key aspects, including the regeneration of fracture aperture based on Gaussian distribution approximations, the reconstruction of fracture morphology considering real dimensions, orientation, and anisotropy, and the fusion of regenerated fractures to form coherent three-dimensional networks.
Introduction: The detection of chest diseases from chest X-ray images using deep learning methods has been an active research area over the past decade. The diagnosis of chest diseases depends largely on the decision-making of radiologists. In the context of a severe shortage of professional radiologists, it is very important to develop automatic analysis methods for computer-aided diagnosis of chest diseases on chest radiographs. By integrating attention mechanisms into deep learning models, many previous methods have shown significant improvements in automatic disease classification. However, existing methods focus on using small-scale spatial attention and often ignore larger-scale image context information associations. Based on this, the system developed by the research team proposes a large-scale attention-based chest disease classification network that is able to consider larger-scale attention-guided spatial features, has a concise network structure and fewer model parameters. In addition, it captures the detailed features of the region of interest through anatomical segmentation and uses graph convolutional networks (GCNs) to establish potential relationships between different diseases. This system can be used in the field of chest X-ray disease classification as an auxiliary tool for early diagnosis of diseases in clinical practice.

Introduction: Conventional CT two-dimensional images have the limitation of insufficient spatial perception when displaying lesion characteristics. The three-dimensional reconstruction imaging technology is based on high-quality cross-sectional scanning images, combined with medical imaging, computer image processing and biomedical engineering and other multi-field technologies, and can observe the lesions from multiple angles as a whole, providing an important basis for disease diagnosis and preoperative planning. Through three-dimensional reconstruction, doctors can move, rotate, and make transparent the three-dimensional model before surgery, intuitively understand the location of the lesion and its spatial relationship with the surrounding tissues, and combine virtual reality technology to simulate surgery, optimize surgical plans, reduce surgical risks, and improve surgical accuracy and success rate. In simulated surgery, artificial intelligence technology is used to segment the lesion tissue from the two-dimensional slices, and then accurately locate it through three-dimensional reconstruction technology, clearly display the relative position of the lesion tissue and bones or normal organs, and provide scientific support for surgical planning. We first use artificial intelligence technology to segment the lesion tissue from the two-dimensional slice information, and then reconstruct the lesion tissue through three-dimensional reconstruction technology, and accurately locate it to the original position, so that the relative position between the lesion tissue and bones or normal organs can be clearly displayed.

Introduction: AI has made great progress in the field of medical image analysis, providing new possibilities for the automated diagnosis of gallbladder cancer. Deep learning methods, especially those based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have shown excellent performance in gallbladder cancer detection, and can automatically extract complex features in medical images and identify subtle lesion patterns, thereby improving the accuracy of diagnosis. Researchers have proposed a variety of deep learning-based gallbladder cancer detection methods, such as the region selection network combined with a multi-scale second-order pooling classifier (MS-SoP), the application of Mask R-CNN in gallstone detection, and a gallbladder detection method combining YOLO and Faster R-CNN. These methods have made positive progress in optimizing detection boundaries and improving classification accuracy. However, current research still faces many challenges, including the scarcity of datasets, the problem of co-optimization of target detection and classification networks, and the impact of low quality and noise interference of ultrasound images on the model. To address these issues, the research team collected and annotated a dataset of 368 ultrasound images to make up for the lack of data. In addition, the team conducted a systematic comparative analysis of existing target detection methods and proposed a structure-aware curriculum learning strategy, which combines relative total variation and label smoothing techniques to gradually train the model from simple structures to complex textures, making it more focused on key structural features and improving the robustness and generalization ability of gallbladder cancer detection.
