According to the actual situation of the device, parameters such as related current and voltage adapted to output are matched, and the user is prompted to implement accurate and safe energy control.
[0059] Further, the Hilbert-Huang transform specifically includes the following steps:
[0060] S3.1. Perform empirical mode decomposition (EMD) on the signals of the window stages of ablation and cutting, and coagulation and heat control respectively, to obtain limited intrinsic mode function (IMF) component expressions of a corresponding signal s(t).
s(t)=Σ.sub.i=1.sup.kc.sub.i(t)+r.sub.k(t),
[0061] where i represents a number of an IMF component order, k represents the IMF component order, c.sub.i(t) is an i.sup.th order of IMF component, and r.sub.k(t) is an i.sup.th order of IMF residual component. The obtaining limited intrinsic mode function (IMF) components of a signal s(t) specifically includes the following steps:
[0062] S3.1.1. Segment an original signal s(t) according to a preset processing window, and take a maximum value and a minimum value of the original signal s(t) for any processing window;
[0063] S3.1.2. Interpolate the maximum value and the minimum value of the original signal s(t) in the processing window by using spline interpolation, and fit upper and lower envelopes.
[0064] S3.1.3. Calculate a mean m.sub.1(t) of the upper and lower envelopes, and obtain a difference h.sub.1(t) between the original signal s(t) and the mean m.sub.1(t); (t)=s(t)−m.sub.1(t);
[0065] S3.1.4. Calculate the first IMF component c.sub.1(t) and a residual signal r.sub.1(t);

[0066] S3.1.5. Determine whether the residual signal r.sub.1(t) meets an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) condition, that is, whether r.sub.1(t) is a monotone function, if the residual signal r.sub.1(t) meets the condition, stop processing, and mark k=1;
[0067] otherwise, repeat steps S3.1.1 to S3.1.4 for k times by using h.sub.1(t) as the original signal;
h.sub.k(t)=h.sub.(k−1)(t)−m.sub.k(t), c.sub.k(t)=h.sub.k(t), r.sub.k(t)=h.sub.(k−1)(t)−c.sub.k(t);
[0068] complete smooth decomposition processing, and record k until the residual signal r.sub.k(t) is the monotone function.
[0069] S3.1.6. Convert s(t) into k intrinsic mode function component expressions:
[0070] s(t)=Σ.sub.i=1.sup.kc.sub.i(t)+r.sub.k(t), where c.sub.i(t) is an i.sup.th IMF component of the signal.
[0071] S3.2. Perform Hilbert transform on each order of IMF component c.sub.i(t), to obtain a Hilbert transform expression of the IMF component y.sub.i(t);
[0072] where p is a Cauchy principal value, and T represents an amount of change per unit time;

[0076] S3.6. Reconstruct a signal s′(t) by using a screened IMF component in step S3.4, to obtain a time-frequency characteristic of an electromagnetic signal of the reconstructed signal.
[0077] In this embodiment, according the first part of the Hilbert-Huang transform, a non-linear and non-stationary signal is decomposed into limited intrinsic mode function (IMF) components, and a mean delay on extremums of two ends of the window signal can be used to achieve a constraint on a signal endpoint and reduce a fitting error near the endpoint. According to the second part of the Hilbert-Huang transform, Hilbert spectrum analysis (HHP) is to perform the Hilbert transform on effective IMFi, use threshold determination before the signal is reconstructed, and separate an effective signal and a decomposition error or noise interference. In data analysis of a plasma knife, signal characterization of few effective IMF components such as electromagnetic conduction and electromagnetic interference are centrally examined. Separated noise interference is eliminated, which effectively improves accuracy of data tracking.
[0078] A device for the method of adaptive EMC-EMI radio frequency signal data processing. The device includes:
[0079] a radio frequency signal segmentation unit, configured to respond to a radio frequency signal of a radio frequency ablation device acquired by an EMC-EMI sensor, segment the radio frequency signal, where a window stage after segmentation includes one or more stages of idling, energy generation, ablation and cutting, and coagulation and heat control, and preprocess signals of each window stage after segmentation respectively;
[0080] a Hilbert-Huang transformation unit, configured to perform Hilbert-Huang transform on signals of the two window stages of ablation and cutting, and coagulation and heat control after segmentation, to obtain time-frequency characteristics of electromagnetic signals of the corresponding window stages;
[0081] a threshold comparison unit, configured to calculate EMC power, EMI radio frequency energy and mode, and a radio frequency signal-to-noise mode according to the time-frequency characteristics of electromagnetic signals; and compare the EMC power, the EMI radio frequency energy and mode, and the radio frequency signal-to-noise mode with corresponding thresholds respectively, to obtain knife head states in the window stages of ablation and cutting, and coagulation and heat control, including touching metal short circuit, overheating and overload; and
[0082] an output unit, configured to adjust energy parameters of the radio frequency ablation device according to the knife head states, or prompt a user to adjust the energy parameters of the radio frequency ablation device.
[0083] During specific implementation,
[0084] as shown in
[0085] In this embodiment, radio frequency of two different types of radio frequency plasma generation mechanisms are used, which are an adaptive radio frequency ablation surgery system and a commonly used radio frequency ablation device. The adaptive radio frequency ablation surgery system uses an adaptive radio frequency plasma generation mechanism based on closed-loop feedback control of wireless EMC-EMI signal acquisition and calculation. The commonly used radio frequency ablation device uses a radio frequency plasma generation mechanism with preset voltage set value and energy level. Comparison is made by monitoring plasma generation and stabilization stages (W2) of the two. As shown in
[0086] In this embodiment, both radio frequency ablation generators have the same initial radio frequency level set value of 4. After enabled, the commonly used radio frequency ablation device generates a stable 190 V RMS voltage and there are some flashing plasma flames at a plasma knife head in normal saline, which means that when the radio frequency level set value is 4, no sufficient voltage can be transmitted to stably generate the plasma. The adaptive radio frequency ablation surgery system is equipped with a wireless EMC-EMI sensor, converter, calculator, and communication module. An initial phenomenon of the adaptive radio frequency ablation surgery system is similar to that of the commonly used radio frequency ablation device. However, after the radio frequency is activated for twice to three times, plasma of the plasma knife head becomes stable and efficient, and provides feedback control to the clinical user, to increase to 230 V RMS voltage. By monitoring a mode of flashing and ignition of the plasma knife head in the W2 stage, the wireless EMC-EMI module can evaluate and calculate a minimum RMS voltage required to generate stable radio frequency plasma in a particular normal saline environment or clinical situation. From radio frequency output voltage monitoring, it can be seen that an adaptive plasma radio frequency ablation system has a rapid response and adjustment capability for generation and stabilization of the radio frequency plasma.
[0087] In a case that the radio frequency is relatively low, nerves pull muscles due to the stress reaction, resulting in muscular tissue shaking, causing risk in surgery, which is more obvious especially in deep cutting of deep muscles below 9 cm, and about 100 kHz. Through adaptive energy control, the radio frequency is increased to 350 kHz or more, which can effectively reduce neuromuscular shaking by more than 98%, and further reduce the risk in surgery.
[0088] This embodiment merely shows that EMC-EMI signal-noise is used to track/monitor/control voltage transmission stably generated by the plasma. In an actual application, data and waveform of the EMC-EMI signal-noise can provide more detailed information in radio frequency ablation, such as current limitation, ablation duration, and coagulation depth control, and even can predict optimal and minimal energy transmission required for an organ tissues.
[0089] The embodiments of the present invention are described above, and the foregoing descriptions are exemplary but not exhaustive and are not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments, many modifications and variations are apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the technical field.
