- 标注效率提升70%,人工修正率低于12%,适合临床与大数据研究
肠鸣音通常短暂且振幅低,手动听诊难以准确捕捉,导致临床评估差异大。数字声学传感器可获取高质量肠鸣音信号,支持自动化分析,为临床提供客观定量的肠道活动反馈。本研究提出一套基于可穿戴SonicGuard传感器的自动化肠鸣音分割与分类流程。采集了83名受试者的肠鸣音数据,其中40人数据由临床专家手动标注用于训练自动标注算法,其余用于模型评估。采用基于能量的事件检测算法识别肠鸣音事件,并利用预训练的音频频谱变换器(AST)模型对检测片段进行模式分类。模型在健康人群和患者群体中分别表现优异:健康组准确率0.97,AUROC 0.98;患者组准确率0.96,AUROC 0.98。自动标注方法使人工标注时间减少约70%,专家审核显示不足12%的自动生成段落需修正。该系统实现了肠道活动的定量评估,为临床诊断提供客观工具,并助力大规模数据集标注。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Bowel sounds (BS) are typically momentary and have low amplitude, making them difficult to detect accurately through manual auscultation. This leads to significant variability in clinical assessment. Digital acoustic sensors allow the acquisition of high-quality BS and enable automated signal analysis, offering the potential to provide clinicians with both objective and quantitative feedback on bowel activity. This study presents an automated pipeline for bowel sound segmentation and classification using a wearable acoustic SonicGuard sensor. BS signals from 83 subjects were recorded using a SonicGuard sensor. Data from 40 subjects were manually annotated by clinical experts and used to train an automatic annotation algorithm, while the remaining subjects were used for further model evaluation. An energy-based event detection algorithm was developed to detect BS events. Detected sound segments were then classified into BS patterns using a pretrained Audio Spectrogram Transformer (AST) model. Model performance was evaluated separately for healthy individuals and patients. The best configuration used two specialized models, one trained on healthy subjects and one on patients, achieving (accuracy: 0.97, AUROC: 0.98) for healthy group and (accuracy: 0.96, AUROC: 0.98) for patient group. The auto-annotation method reduced manual labeling time by approximately 70%, and expert review showed that less than 12% of automatically detected segments required correction. The proposed automated segmentation and classification system enables quantitative assessment of bowel activity, providing clinicians with an objective diagnostic tool that may improve the diagnostic of gastrointestinal function and support the annotation of large-scale datasets.
