Image Enhancement Algorithm-Based Ultrasound on Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Training in Preventing Postpartum Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Abstract

In order to explore the application value of image enhancement algorithm in evaluating pelvic floor rehabilitation training in the prevention of postpartum female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPFD), 70 patients with FPFD were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into two groups. One group received routine nursing (control group, $n=35$ ), and the other group received pelvic floor rehabilitation training based on routine nursing (experimental group, $n=35$ ). In ultrasound images based on an image enhancement algorithm, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) were used to evaluate the efficacy. The results showed that after image enhancement algorithm processing, the image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index (SSIM) of ultrasound images of patients with FPFD were significantly improved ( $P<0.05$ ); the mean square error (MSE) was significantly decreased ( $P<0.05$ ); the diagnostic accuracy of FPFD in the original ultrasound images was 73.34%, and that after image enhancement algorithm processing was significantly improved to be 89.86% ( $P<0.05$ ). In addition, the overall clinical response rate of FPFD in the experimental group (82.86%) was obviously higher than that in the control group (51.43%) ( $P<0.05$ ). After rehabilitation training, the ICIQ-SF and PFDI-20 scores of patients with FPFD in the two groups suggested a significant decrease ( $P<0.05$ ). In summary, using an image enhancement algorithm has a good application prospect in evaluating pelvic floor rehabilitation training in preventing postpartum FPFD and is worthy of further promotion.
